This talk discusses how we as Citizens can use the Adversity that we face every day as a way to change the world in which we all live for the better. While training to deploy with the United States Army Marcus suffered a serious spinal injury. During the ensuing surgery he died on the operating table twice. Subsequently he was left paralyzed from the neck down. Unsure of his future, Marcus went into a deep depression.
