Who influences us to become the people we are meant to be?
It begins with 5 key people in childhood – our parents, grandparents, family friends or relatives, perhaps a teacher.
In this deeply human conversation, ROCeteer’s Chief Collaboration Officer, Mark Rowland shares how childhood influences, family legacy, and a life partner’s unwavering support shaped his path as an entrepreneurial, collaborative leader working at the intersection of systems change and planetary regeneration.
From his formative years growing up in a Northern English village, we explore:
- How Mark’s father influenced his values and leadership style
- The role of a supportive life partner in enabling entrepreneurial risk
- Raising entrepreneurial, values-led children in a hyper-connected world
- How collaboration drives innovation, regeneration, and systems change
- Why happiness – not profit, is Mark’s ultimate KPI
From global innovation ecosystems to kitchen-table conversations about values, this episode reveals how leadership begins at home – and expands outward through collaboration.
Key Themes:
- Parenting & leadership
- Collaboration as a regenerative force
- Family legacy & values
- Entrepreneurship & systems thinking
- Raising children in a globalised world
