Today on What Got You There, Sean talks with Marcus Aurelius Anderson. While training to deploy with the United States Army Marcus suffered a serious spinal injury. During the ensuing surgery he died on the operating table… twice. Subsequently he was left paralyzed from the neck down. Unsure of his future, Marcus went into a deep depression. In his darkest hour he had a personal epiphany that would force him to see his injury as a learning opportunity. Through this gift of Adversity Marcus was able to overcome paralysis and walk again. His message is that Adversity is a gift that demands our greatest efforts to rise above our current obstacles and to become better citizens and leaders.
