Mark Black is a Heart and Double-Lung Transplant Recipient
Marathon Runner, Author, Coach and Speaker.

Founder of The Purpose Program and CEO of Adversus Consulting, Mark Black has done a lot in 35 yrs. A professional speaker, best-selling author and success coach, Mark doesn’t just talk about overcoming adversity, he lives it.

Mark’s experience with adversity began early in his life. By age 2 Mark had already survived more than many deal with in a lifetime. For most of his first 24 years Mark faced a life-threatening heart problem culminating in 2001 when, at 23, he was told he had less than two years to live.

The lessons Mark learned in the year that followed that news, form the basis of his award-winning presentations, and the best-selling book “Live Life from the Heart” that he will be signing after the program today.

Mark has inspired nearly 100,000 people across North America with his unique brand of humor blended with a gripping life and death story. The lessons he teaches have transformed countless lives and businesses.

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 children Emma and Matteo.
