How To Transform Your Greatest Adversity Into Your Greatest Gift – Marcus Aurelius Anderson (Ep. 180)

July 17, 2018 by Justin Stenstrom Leave a Comment

marcus aurelius anderson

Marcus Aurelius Anderson, mindset coach, speaker, and author of the book The Gift of Adversity, joins our show in this special episode of the Elite Man Podcast! In today’s episode Marcus shares with us his incredible story of overcoming a severe spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down and the profound lessons he learned from this experience. I say “experience” because Marcus was somehow able to reverse the paralysis and recover nearly 100% physically, and emotionally, became a better man from it. Marcus shares with us how he did it all and how he was able to transform the greatest adversity he ever faced into his greatest gift in life. If you’re wondering how to overcome mentally, emotionally, or even physically crippling adversities that come your way in life and transform them into your greatest assets, check this episode out now!
