Episode notes
Guest: Mark Heywood – podcaster, writer, former investment banking MD, and co-founder of Don’t Quit
This week on Work Is Weird Now, we speak with Mark Heywood about the realities of leaving corporate life and reinventing your career on your own terms.
From his early days in tech at RBS to a screenwriting course in LA and launching his own business, Mark’s story is anything but linear. In this deeply honest conversation, he shares how he engineered his transition out of banking, the mindset shifts that made it possible, and why failure is a necessary companion in freelance life.
We unpack the emotional and practical prep required to go solo, the myths around quitting, and how Don’t Quit is helping others leave with their eyes wide open.
