Purpose is Power. No path to success is linear and every path is unique. Our next guest, Marcus Summers, is no exception. Before pursuing a college degree, Marcus enlisted in the military where he learned many life lessons that he has carried with him throughout his journey. At school, he studied a variety of subjects such as fitness, nutrition, hospitality and restaurant management. It was during an internship where he discovered his passion for the fitness industry and the value that it can add to people's lives. Like many others, Marcus had to pivot when the pandemic struck, as he was no longer able to work at a gym. He founded ‘Purpose is Power’ where he works with his clients of all levels to meet their fitness goals.
