The Final Episode | It’s About To Go Down with Marc & Cathey
After 12 seasons, 122 episodes, and conversations with 120 incredible guests, we’re bringing It’s About To Go Down! with Marc & Cathey to a close. But before we do, we’re taking one last walk down memory lane.What started during the early days of the pandemic as a simple idea between friends turned into something far bigger than we imagined. A web show built around idea conversations. A space where creativity, curiosity, and authenticity led the way. A place where ideas were challenged, refined, and sometimes completely transformed.
In this final episode, we reflect on the journey:
• The origin story of the show and how it began during COVID• The behind-the-scenes ritual we did before every single episode (yes…FIRE!)• The evolution from coaching conversations to powerful idea conversations• Some of our favorite moments and guests from across the seasons• The lessons we learned from 120 people sharing their ideas and experiences• How this show ultimately led to the creation of Speaker Skills Academy
More than anything, this episode is about gratitude. Gratitude for the conversations, the ideas, the laughter, the breakthroughs, and the incredible people who joined us along the way.
And while this chapter is ending, the journey continues.
We’re excited to announce the next evolution: The Future of Speaking, a new webshow focused on the power of communication, storytelling, and the role speaking plays in shaping our world.
Because at the end of the day, speaking is one of the most human things we do.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
And remember…There are no ordinary moments.

S12 E10 // Talents, Investments, and Strengths
In this episode of It’s About to Go Down!, Marc and Cathey sit down with Heather Barta, a proud member of the Speaker Skills Academy—to unpack the transformative power of knowing and using your strengths. Heather, a certified Gallup Strengths facilitator, reminds us that talent plus investment equals strength, but not in the way we’ve always thought. She challenges the assumption that strengths are just what you’re good at, and invites us to consider that our real power comes from being seen and understood for who we truly are. Together, they explore the concept of developed and mature strengths, and ask: What happens if you don’t even know what your strengths are? This conversation is a permission slip to stop reinventing yourself—and start rediscovering what already makes you whole.
