113 Mark Silverman - Revisited - YSV: You Probably Think This Convo's About You...

Mark J Silverman - Revisited YSV: You Probably Think This Convo’s About You In another honest, reflective, unpolished exploration of what it really means to build a coaching life, Phil talks with Mark J. Silverman 8 years after his first appearance on the podcast. Mark returns, not just as a more established coach, but as a more humbled, open-hearted human being. Their conversation touches on identity, ego, success, spirituality, fear, ageing, leadership, and what remains when striving falls away. In this episode Phil & Mark explore: • From “early-stage coach” to fully booked executive coach • Figuring out who you actually are as a coach • The danger of coaching schools & fantasy careers • Long-term clients & not pulling punches • Books, credibility, and identity shifts • When the podcast stops lighting you up • Helping people “get to know God” — with more humility • Blank page living at 60+ • Fear, vanity, ageing & self-care • What we might be talking about in eight years There’s a thread running through it all. A maturity that enables less crusade, less selfing, less trying to become somebody. In that liberation comes more ‘walking beside,’ more presence, more service, and more humour about the ego that never fully disappears. If you enjoyed Episode 32, this is a beautiful continuation. If you’re building a coaching life, or even dismantling one, this conversation might feel like a liberating long exhale. Here’s a little more about Mark Mark J.
