#136 - Adversity As Opportunity - with Marcus Anderson & Jerry Colonna

Joining Jerry on this episode of the Reboot Podcast is Marcus Aurelius Anderson, author of “The Gift of Adversity: Overcoming Paralysis and Pain to Find Purpose”. While preparing to deploy with the US Army, Marcus suffered a severe spinal cord injury which left him paralyzed from the neck down. In this conversation, Marcus shares how turning to gratitude provided the antidote to the denial and anger he felt in the aftermath of his accident, describing how his paralysis forced him to literally stand still and courageously, tenderly examine his life with honesty. Jerry and Marcus chat about times of hardship and the gift of opportunity and inquiry that lies in adversity, if only we are willing to see it. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!
