Our guest today experienced his first crisis at age eight when his parents divorced. Marc Mero grew up in a poor section of New York, but wrote down his dreams and goals, setting his sights on athletics. He worked hard to achieve success and eventually landed a career in professional wrestling. After reaching the pinnacle of sports entertainment as a WCW and WWE Wrestling Champion, Marc suffered enormous loss and learned that money and fame can’t buy happiness. The tragic loss of more than 30 of his close friends and family members – largely due to lifestyle choices and negative behaviors – spurred him into action.  Today, through his nonprofit organization called Champion of Choices, he shares his powerful story of tragedy and triumph, speaking candidly about where his good and bad choices took him.

Eric LeGrand played defensive tackle for Rutgers.  On October 16, 2010, Eric suffered a severe spinal cord injury during a game against Army. On a kickoff to Army, Eric unintentionally put his head down while running, and ended up driving the crown of his head into the shoulder of the ball carrier, Malcolm Brown. Eric  was credited with the tackle, but he lay on the ground for several minutes before being carried off, unable to move anything but his head and unable to breathe.

But he never let his injury define him or his spirit.  In fact in 2017, Eric was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as the third recipient of the Warrior Award.
