As we prepare for PSFK’s CXI 018 in New York on May 18, we hit the archives for one of the inspiring talks from last year’s conference.

No doubt you’ve heard the age-old saying – “starting from small beginnings.” Well, Coss Marte takes that adage to a whole new level with his success story, which he wowed us with at PSFK 2017 – so much so that he got a standing ovation from the crowd. Sit back and prepare to hear a story that will remind you that people deserve a second chance and that if you have the drive and perseverance, nothing can stop you from turning your life around.
