Summary

The most courageous individuals I have ever met. As a Marine Commando on tour in Afghanistan, Mark sustained horrific injuries from an improvised explosive device, resulting in the loss of both legs and an arm. He was the UK’s first triple amputee to survive in the Afghanistan conflict.

 

We talk about his military service, the events leading up to that fateful explosion, and how he has powered through adversity to become a gold medalist, motivational speaker, author and peak performance coach.

 

This episode contains graphic descriptions of severe injuries that can be tough to hear, but Mark has such an important story to tell, I think everybody will take something away from this.
