From Investment Banker to Therapist | Markus Ahlber - EP 15

Today on the show I had Markus Ahlberg. And this guy has had a truly fascinating journey.

He is currently living in London and training to become a therapist. But his career started far from there.

He grew up in Venezuela before moving to Gothenburg to study business.  After uni, he took a job at Google - way back in 2007. He completed a masters at LSE and worked for 6 years in investment banking.

Then, he completely burned out.

He went through a difficult period that put a real strain on himself and his relationships. He knew he needed to make a change.

So one day he walked into his boss's office, and he quit.

Then started the next chapter in Markus' life, travelling south america, moving to London, starting a mental health app and now training to become a therapist.

He is incredibly open about how hard it is to figure out what to do in life and the battles he has faced along the way.

We talk about his family life and how he feels about welcoming his first kid into the world.

We cover a lot and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
