The Mark Groves Podcast

We're drowning in screens, and I think that's exactly why our relationships are struggling. Every unoccupied moment of our day has been filled with content and we've lost our capacity for boredom, which means we're losing our capacity for real intimacy. In this episode I talk about the burnout of building a business online, why I don't think a "healthy" relationship with social media is even possible, and what six months away from it taught me.

I'm building something to help with this... and I'd love your input. Survey's linked below

Most people don't realize that their frustration with people who aren't available has a lot to do with their own unavailability. In this special episode I discuss 3 questions from my audience and how to handle their relational challenges. Why might we be holding on to or daydreaming about an ex? Why can't my partner fully commit or tell me they love me? How do I know the difference between settling and committing? These are important and complex questions that so many of us are struggling with. Tune in to learn more!

What if the worst thing that ever happened to you was actually the thing that was always meant to find you? JP Francia almost drowned in his own bed from acid reflux. After a decade of failed medications and sleepless nights a simple remedy from his grandma changed everything. What followed is one of the most unlikely and inspiring entrepreneurial journeys you will ever hear. We get into gut health, blood sugar, the lies we have been told about medicine, and why your body always knows the truth before your mind does.

JP Francia is a serial entrepreneur who has built many successful businesses across multiple industries during his decorated career. His unique variety of success involves a dizzying professional journey spanning from commercial pilot instructor to children's TV executive producer, and advertising agency executive to chain restauranteur. Now, after a near-death experience with acid reflux, he is the founder of Life Cider, a CPG beverage brand built on the cure that changed his life: apple cider vinegar.

At some point you have to stop being the student and start becoming your own authority. Not because teachers and mentors are not valuable but because the whole point of learning from them was always to find your way back to yourself. We get into why we unconsciously hand our power over to controlling or domineering people, why your autoimmune issues and your silence might be more connected than you think, and why the moment one person in a relationship starts to come alive it either invites the other person to do the same or it breaks the whole thing apart. The revolution begins the moment you hear yourself say the words you have never said out loud before.
