It’s remarkable what rises to the surface when someone is given the space and time to tell their story. Each telling shifts subtly, shaped by the setting, the environment, the listener, and countless other influences.
Podcasting for Marco is a very new experience, he is normally the one holding space of others. So it was lovely to see and share in his excitement of being interviewed.
We have known Marco, or Marcos as I have incorrectly called him, for many years. He is a fellow “Richmonder” who, like Carmen and I, loves cafe-life as it is a way of creating community and a sense of belonging. It’s one of the things, as you will hear, that saved him in his darkest hours.
“So for me, it was like my heart was being shredded alive. And then on top of that, being burned.”
Marco Stephano is now an internationally trained, seasoned coach and trusted thinking partner. He supports heart-led, ambitious women and men who are ready to reclaim their inner compass, live their purpose, and thrive through mid-life transitions and life’s disruptions, so they can lead, love, and live with greater clarity, confidence, joy and meaningful impact.
Beyond being a father, entrepreneur, speaker, writer and avid hiker, Marco brings over 35 years of experience exploring human potential and leadership excellence. Having navigated his own defining challenges, he blends lived wisdom with rigorous knowledge—offering clarity amid uncertainty, strength through transition, and possibility where others see limits.
His coaching is dynamic, holistic, and impact-focused. Clients describe it as “energising, insight-rich, and profoundly transformative, unlocking growth in their careers, leadership, relationships (including romantic ones), and entrepreneurial ventures.”
Through his 4-step pathway, combining 1:1 guidance with cohort support, clients reclaim their heart, restore confidence, and rediscover purpose.
In this episode Marco offers great practical wisdom about how to overcome some really dark and challenging times.
We hope you enjoy the chat.
