Ep.52 - How to Book More Paid Speaking Engagements with Mark Black

In this episode, Majeed is joined by Mark Black.


Mark Black is a Heart and Double-Lung Transplant Recipient –
turned – 4- Time Marathon Runner. A resilience expert, coach, and
author, Mark helps people “Thrive in Challenging Times.” His
programs provide the tools to transform your adversity into your
advantage.


Mark doesn’t just teach resilience, he embodies it. Born with a
life-threatening heart defect, Mark underwent two open-heart
surgeries before the age of one. He battled his condition and its
limitations for twenty-two years until he was forced to deal with
the biggest obstacle of his young life. His doctor informed him
that his heart was failing, and without a rare and dangerous
heart and double-
lung transplant, he would not see his 25th birthday. In 2002,
Mark was fortunate that a suitable donor was found. He not only
survived the surgery, but less than 3 years later, Mark became
the only man in history to run a marathon with someone else’s
heart and lungs.


Mark is now a Certified Speaking Professional, a designation held
by less than 1000 speakers in the world. He has inspired more
than 150,000 people in more than 450 presentations, and has
worked with global brands including Exxon Mobil and Mercedes
Benz, as well as many national and regional associations.


Mark lives in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada where he spends as
much time as possible with the most important people in his life;
his wife Marise and their three children.
