"Lone Survivor" The story of Marcus Luttrell; US Navy Seal
I challenge anyone to find a more inspirational story about desire, survival, over-coming near-impossible odds, the will to just keep going.
I had the honor of meeting Marcus Luttrell who was hired by a former employer as our motivational speaker.
Luttrell, a hulking 6'5 mythical-like character hobbled across the stage to a standing ovation (for his service and heroism.) You felt the presence of someone who appeared to be larger than life.
He stopped mid-stage about 10 feet in front of my table. He made a gesture with his hands as he said "sit-down". In unison, the 300 dropped to their seat in unison. We were riveted to this guy for the next 90 minutes which felt like 15 minutes.
There are a number versions of his speech on YouTube that run 60-90 minutes. You won't be disappointed.
