Bikini Pro to CEO Journey

Episode Description

In this episode, Mark sits down with long-time friend and former client Jenna Davies—WBFF Bikini Pro turned tech entrepreneur—for a deep dive into what it means to rebuild yourself when the stage lights go out.

Jenna opens up about life after competition: shifting her identity from athlete to CEO, transitioning her social media and brand, and finding peace with a body and lifestyle that no longer revolve around comp prep. Together, they unpack the struggles of losing external validation, the fear of irrelevance, and the discipline it takes to stay consistent when your goals (and priorities) evolve.

If you’ve ever struggled with maintaining your physique post-goal, changing direction in your career, or redefining your identity in a way that feels authentic—this one’s for you.
