Marc Wise — Yorkshire, UK

Building entrepreneurs who go further.

I help founders grow on three fronts at once — themselves, their business, and their team — because the ones who last don't just scale harder, they build with more intention.

About

A thought partner for founders who refuse to stall.

Marc Wise — FounderYorkshire, UK

I work with entrepreneurs across Yorkshire and beyond who've hit the ceiling that comes from doing everything themselves — the founder who's the bottleneck, the business that's outpaced its systems, the team that's grown faster than its structure.

My approach is deliberately three-sided. You can't build a resilient business on a burnt-out founder, and you can't build a resilient team without the systems to support it. So I work across all three: sharpening you as a leader, putting the right infrastructure under the business itself, and strengthening the team around you — drawing on two ventures I've built to prove the model, Live For Today and 53°.

Way Of Working
The Three Pillars

Three bearings. One direction of travel.

Every founder I work with is growing on all three fronts whether they've named it or not. Here's where I can help on each.

000° — BUILD YOU

Build You

Entrepreneur events, designed and personally facilitated by me. Our flagship, The Breather, brings together small rooms of serious founders for honest conversation and real accountability — the first of many events built to grow the people behind the businesses.

Testimonials

What founders say after working with me.

"The day was so well organised from start to finish. Marc, Daz, and the rest of the team were fantastic fun and really made the day special. This is the third time we've used Live for Today, and once again they exceeded our expectations."

Vicky Wright
Office Manager, Pixelbuilders

"I moved from Zoho CRM thinking I would go back to MS Planner and spreadsheets. A day later I was up and running with a tool that makes business development run smoothly without me becoming a CRM administrator. Just magic. Highly recommend Marc and the team."

Andy Pearce
Founder, Novella Learning

"Marc handled our company annual team building and was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. On the day itself, he was an exemplary host — fun, enthusiastic, organised, professional. Would 100% recommend Marc and the whole Live for Today team."

Michael Robinson
Audit Director, Audit Partnership

"We have now worked with Marc on two separate occasions to arrange team away days. On both occasions not only did the team absolutely love their away day, but Marc has gone above and beyond to make sure that everything ran smoothly. Couldn't recommend Marc and Live for Today enough!"

Ashleigh Duke
ESG Lead, Papilo Ltd

"The entire experience was so well organised, with clear attention to detail and seamless coordination throughout the day. Our whole group thoroughly enjoyed the activities, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive."
