A Fraction Stronger: overcoming adversity after a cycling accident with Mark Berridge

Mark Berridge is an author, speaker and lived adversity expert talking about his book A Fraction Stronger.  It’s a book Mark never imagined he would write. Mark’s high powered corporate career came to an abrupt end in March 2019 following a very serious cycling accident.  It fractured his identity and triggered a personal battle to regain his mobility and reimagine a different life with new meaning.   

A Fraction Stronger is an inspirational book about facing adversity with a positive spirit, intentional actions and a can-do attitude. It’s a blueprint on how we can embrace uncertainty and liberate possibility. 

After an idyllic childhood in Western Australia Mark now lives in Brisbane and this conversation was recorded over the internet.  Our warm table experience extended to a cup of tea across the ether!  

“But sometimes the pathway is broken, and it's dark, and it's hard. And it doesn't have to have light only from above, it can have light from below. And that was what was really making me think about this idea of embers, the coals and the fire, the stuff that might help you find that pathway.”  – Mark Berridge

My Warm Table, translated into Italian is Tavola Calda. These were the words my Papa used to describe a table of good friends, good food and good conversation. I always aim to create a tavola calda in my life and I hope this podcast encourages you to do so too!
