Hi everyone, welcome back!

Today I had the amazing opportunity to talk with Mark Black, a Heart and Double-Lung Transplant recipient, turned four-time marathon runner, author, coach, and speaker.

Mark was born with a life-threatening heart defect, and before the age of one underwent two open-heart surgeries. When he was 22, he was told that he needed a heart and double-lung transplant. So Mark moved thousands of kilometres from home and was put on the transplant waiting list, much of that time spent living in the hospital as his condition grew worse. Finally, after almost a year on the list, Mark received a second chance at life: a life-saving Heart and Double-Lung Transplant.

Three years later, he became the only man in history to complete a marathon with someone else’s heart and lungs. He has since run three more marathons.

Since receiving his second chance at life Mark hasn’t wasted a moment. Mark has travelled the globe speaking to more than 150,000 people. He delivers practical and life-changing insight on how to flourish in challenging times, break through self-imposed barriers that limit your development and growth, and transform adversity into your competitive advantage.

If you want to gain a little bit of inspiration and also learn some very specific insights into how you can overcome obstacles, then this is going to be something that you are going to be absolutely fascinated by. 

Please enjoy my conversation with Mark Black!
