Today I have a very special guest. Michael Arterberry, he is a Master Encourager, and Dynamic Motivational Speaker.
Michael is the author of "Be Encouraged: 250 Days of Motivation and Encouragement", a daily motivational book. https://amzn.to/2YX7vOf
Additional information about his struggles as a child and a debilitating spinal cord injury as an adult can be found in his wife's book "God was Holding My Hand".
As a teenager, Michael was fortunate to receive guidance from positive adult role models who helped him overcome adversities and set high expectations for his future.
Grateful for the role these mentors played in his own development, Michael decided to dedicate his professional life to helping people navigate the difficulties of life and launch their future into motion. For more than 25 years, he has been helping teens and adults to use what they have gone through as a catalyst for success rather than an obstacle for failure.

1:49 Michael is telling us his story growing up in a really creative way, I loved the way he did it...
05:34 Michael grew up with a raging alcoholic dad,
The dysfunction, not only in his family but in his neighbourhood that was full of crime, drugs & gangs. And so, you know, there's a lot of things that were going on, but the beauty of my story is that I was able to navigate through all of this turmoil and I was able to take everything that I went through. And it is the foundation of my passion for why I want to help other people.
