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.
