About this listen

Fierce Encouragement with Mark Walker isn’t just another self-improvement podcast, it’s a wake-up call. If you’re tired of second-guessing yourself, stuck in your own head, or grinding through life without real clarity, this is for you.

As a performance coach for executives and leaders, I bring you raw, unfiltered insights on mindset mastery, self-coaching, and meditation—not as abstract concepts, but as tools to sharpen your edge, reclaim your energy, and finally own your life. Through stories, hard-earned wisdom, and no-BS strategies, I’ll show you how to break free from the noise, rewire your thinking, and move forward with unshakable confidence. No fluff. No clichés. Just Fierce Encouragement, because the life you want won’t wait. Let’s get after it.

    Indecision keeps us stuck. In this episode, I unpack a conversation with my son, share a 5-step mental reset tool, and offer a fresh look at why slowing down — even for five minutes — can change everything.

    You’ll hear insights from Heroic, Phil Stutz, and Dzogchen teachings, plus a practical reminder: your clarity lives on the other side of breath, solitude, and presence.

    Why we keep buying books... and still feel stuck.

    Ever found yourself knee-deep in new ideas—but no closer to living them?
    In this episode, Mark pulls back the curtain on our obsession with learning more… and the quiet art of doing something with what we already know.

    We explore:

    • The neuroscience of anticipation and why it’s more addictive than actual results
    • Why our messy minds crave more tabs instead of more traction
    • The simple, bold framework for turning knowledge into momentum: the 7-Day Application Sprint

    You’ll also get a short breathing practice to anchor one idea—and a challenge to finally ship something you’ve been sitting on.

    “Learning is potential energy.
    Application is kinetic.”
    — Coach Mark Walker

  • The Gap That Changes Everything
    Jun 4 2025

    Send us a text

    We explore the powerful concept of "the gap" between stimulus and response—that momentary space where our freedom to choose lies. By training ourselves to notice and expand this gap through consistent awareness practices, we can transform our reactions, rewire our brains, and experience greater freedom and clarity.

    • Viktor Frankl's quote about the space between stimulus and response being the source of our freedom
    • How our modern culture causes us to miss the gap and react automatically
    • The neuroscience behind awareness practices: "Where attention goes, neural firing flows"
    • Richard Davidson's research showing we can turn states of awareness into traits of character
    • A four-step method to train awareness: notice the spark, name the mode, breathe and settle, ask what awareness would do
    • The Awareness Lab as a community to practice these skills together

    Join the Awareness Lab where we meet live every week for practice, community connection, and coaching. For just $25 a month, you can train with others in developing greater emotional balance and clarity. Check out Episode 4 for the original meditation on this concept.
