Takeaways and favorite moments with Brittany
The overarching theme I hope you walk away with from this conversation is one of tenacity. There’s also an undercurrent of a no-excuses brand of hustle. I’m beyond sure that this episode will encourage you to get started from where you are. One moment you have to listen out for is the worst career advice she ever received. And you’re not going to believe who it came from.
Before we jump into the conversation with Brittany
Hey everyone, Mark Patterson here, breaking the silence after a two-year hiatus filled with life’s adventures—moving, a new job, parenting, and the whole journey of building a new home. But you know what didn’t take a break? My passion for having those genuine, meaningful conversations.
Now, let’s talk about this hiatus—it wasn’t just life unfolding. I found myself wrestling with self-doubt and facing some big questions as I ventured into podcasting. That imposter syndrome snuck in, making me wonder, “Will anyone really care?” and “Can this wild vision of mine actually come to life?”

But along the way, I picked up some wisdom from folks like Stephen Bartlett and Ed Mylett that really resonated. Bartlett’s idea that stuck with me is that both the person who thinks they can’t and the person who thinks they can are right. Mylett’s reminder about the biggest commitment being the one you make to yourself really cemented the idea that I had to pick up my commitment to not only finish out season one but also make the podcast better than ever.
Navigating the gap between effort and results, tackling the challenges of being a one-person show, and confronting the fear of not having all the answers—it’s been a journey. Balancing commitments with external demands seemed manageable, but chasing my dream—ConvoRoom, a space for conversations with mentors, moguls, and legends—demanded more focused time and energy.
