The Seven-Major Marathoner
What a working professional had to change to finish all seven World Marathon Majors.
Stories of leadership, technology, project, and personal change — and the people, process, and technology choices that made them work.
A leader inheriting a team in the middle of a storm. A company replacing the system it has run on for twenty years. A professional training for a finish line most people never attempt.
Different stories. Same pattern. Every one of them had to create the right environment, align their habits and processes to what they wanted, and use the right technology to ramp up. That’s Harmonize The Mix — orchestrating the balance between people, process, and technology.
We all do it every day, at work and in life. Now imagine how change could work if we did it with focus and intention.
Whether the change happens in a boardroom, a go-live, or a personal goal, every guest walks through the same three movements.
The environment that made change possible — the people, support, and mindset they built around themselves.
The habits, routines, and processes they reworked so their days actually pointed at their objective.
The tools, apps, and systems they leaned on to amplify their effort, track progress, and keep improving.
The show moves between the changes we lead, the changes we implement, and the changes we choose for ourselves.
Stepping into new roles, leading through crisis, and bringing people along when the path isn’t clear.
ERP and system implementations, migrations, AI adoption — and the human side of every go-live.
Programs rescued, processes redesigned, and organizations that found a better way to deliver.
Health battles, big goals, new businesses, and reinvention — change without a project plan.
What a working professional had to change to finish all seven World Marathon Majors.
What it took to turn expertise into a business of your own — and the habits that had to go.
How a public leader fought a serious illness while continuing to serve the people counting on her.
What changed for an author who turned one idea into a book and a brand.
Inheriting a team in transition — and rebuilding trust before rebuilding anything else.
Replacing a system an organization ran on for decades — and what really decided adoption.
Taking over a project in trouble and finding the rhythm that got it back on track.
A team putting AI and automation to work — and what had to be true before the tools could help.
Example stories. Our first guest lineup will be announced at launch.
Every conversation comes back to two ideas from Harmonize The Mix and Marcus’s TEDx talk, Staying in Rhythm with Change.
Busy isn’t the same as better. Miles logged, meetings held, tasks closed, pages written — that’s output. The finish line, the adopted system, the delivered program, the book in someone’s hands — that’s the outcome.
When change shows up — invited or not — every one of us eventually makes a choice. We ask every guest which E they chose, and why.
Marcus is a TEDx speaker, transformation strategist, and the Founder and CEO of Pivotal Impact Consulting. He has spent his career helping organizations through change — leading technology implementations and programs, redesigning how work gets done, and helping people find their footing when everything around them is moving.
Along the way he noticed something: the same pattern that makes a go-live succeed is the one that gets a person to a finish line. This show is where he goes looking for it.
I’m looking for people who have been through real change — at work, in business, or in life — and are willing to talk honestly about what it took. Titles matter less than the lesson.
Join the list for the launch announcement, new episodes, and the occasional idea worth stealing for your own next change.
Coming soon to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and Amazon Music.
