Originally from the UK, now living in North America, Charles Marcus has come a long way. For over 25 years, he could not do what most people take for granted – speak. For over 25 years he lived with a severe stuttering disability which impacted his life in many ways, living in a world of silence for long periods as he was afraid to speak for fear of ridicule, prejudice, and rejection.
He was finally able to realize his dream of overcoming his disability and speaking in public again after making an important decision: to take full responsibility for his life and confront his challenges and fears head-on. Today Charles travels the globe doing the one thing he used to fear the most, sharing his powerful story and message with audiences, inspiring, impacting, and touching lives in a positive way with people all over the world and from all walks of life.
In this episode we talk about:
- How Charles turned his stuttering disability into a superpower.
- Living the full spectrum of life.
- Going out of your comfort zone.
- Three things you need to do to create success on your own terms.
- Dealing with failure and rejection.
