The most 2nd requested guest in Scaling UP! History! (Mark was the one doing all the requesting this time too).

Today on Scaling UP! we re-welcome Mark Lewis, CWT. \xa0On this episode, Mark takes the interviewer position and asked me questions. \xa0As different as this experience was, I found it very interesting to be on the other side of the mic.

Mark also joins me for a Pinks and Blues session, that I\u2019m sure will not be forgotten anytime soon.

Please enjoy my interview with Mark Mark\u2019s interview with me\u2026
