Description

Lessons from a longer-than-intended break.



Episode 12 of a series of podcasts on taking conscious breaks from work.



In this episode, Petro du Pisani interviews Mike Stopforth, a serial entrepreneur and seasoned marketing and communications professional, who took an extended break after selling his digital marketing business in 2018.



Mike shares his journey of pursuing a master’s degree, navigating challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, and reflecting on personal growth, family connections, and lessons in entrepreneurship.



He emphasises the value of executing ideas, refining thoughts through writing, and seeking help when needed. Mike has since started two new businesses and re-joined a digital marketing company, applying insights from his "reinvention period" to his new ventures.
