This is a fantastic episode for anyone who is looking to get into the profession, but also great for those who have ever felt like fear has stopped them from taking a career leap at any time in their lives. Marcus is a meticulous planner and a creature of habit, so he gives us some tried and tested tips which have helped him in his career thus far.
