Ep 7 – Sliding Doors & Second Chances: Mark & Emma’s Story

In this episode, we sit down with Mark & Emma — the duo behind the gyms Tim works at — for our very first interview. It’s the real story behind the shiny surface: leaving safe careers, backing themselves when it didn’t make sense on paper, and building a culture that actually cares.We talk sliding-door moments (including the deal that fell through and opened a better door), the three-day wait after Mark’s cancer diagnosis and how it reset priorities, and what it looks like to keep showing up while fitting out a new club, doing chemo, and raising three kids. There’s belief and mindset too — from Thailand psychics and angel cards to the power of backing your gut — plus the partnership piece: why choosing your life partner might be the single most important decision you make.This one’s equal parts laughs and depth — a reminder that the journey matters more than the destination, and community is everything.We unpack:– Leaving the “safe” path: sparky & PT → owners– Sliding doors: when a ‘no’ becomes the best ‘yes’– Cancer, perspective, and deciding to keep going– Culture > everything: how their clubs feel different– Belief & mindset (manifestation, angel cards, trusting your gut)– Parenting three kids while opening more gyms– Partnership, values, and growing togetherQuote of the episode:“If you risk nothing, you’re actually risking everything.”If this one hits home, send it to someone who’s on the fence about a big leap — they might need to hear it today.🎙 Follow us on Instagram:Tim – ⁠@timmckernLuke – ⁠@l_u_k_e_o_w_e_n_s⁠
