Ep. 127: Mark Austin - Silent Struggles; Family, Loss & Finding Strength

The Curious Jones Podcast

For Episode 127 of the Curious Jones podcast, we sit down with Mark Austin, one of my closest friends and an executive in the performance nutrition and private equity world. While Mark’s expertise could lead us down countless interesting paths, this episode takes on a much more personal tone. Mark bravely shares the deeply emotional journey he and his wife have faced in trying to start a family, navigating the heartbreak of several miscarriages. He opens up about the silent battles men often fight—trying to remain strong and supportive while managing their own grief and stress. This raw and honest conversation sheds light on the complex emotional struggles many couples face in silence.
