In this episode, Mike sits down with Sope Agbelusi for an honest conversation about work, identity, ambition, and the often uncomfortable process of becoming the person you’re meant to be.
Sope is an executive coach and the founder of MindsetShift, where he helps leaders work with greater clarity, confidence and impact. Before coaching, he built his career in finance, leading high-performing global teams and delivering over $1 billion in turnaround value. His coaching work spans Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 companies, startups, government agencies and nonprofits, including names like Nike, Google, HSBC and Shopify. He also hosts the Everyday Leadership podcast, which digs into guests’ origin stories, successes, failures, faith and perspectives on leadership.
Together, Sope and Mike explore the questions that sit underneath personal growth. What gives life meaning beyond the job you do? How do you keep moving when the path ahead isn’t clear? And what really changes, mentally and spiritually, when you finally step outside your comfort zone?
It’s a conversation for anyone who’s felt stuck between the life they have and the life they want. Because often, what holds us back isn’t a lack of opportunity. It’s the fear of letting go of a life we’ve grown comfortable in.
