A pivotal moment in Marcus's life was achieving the high rank, as a Black Sash, in Kung-Fu, while working as a labourer, in the Queensland Rails, then becoming a Professional DJ the 80s, to then his tenure with the Queensland Police Service in the 1990s. It was here that he discovered he had dyslexia, a revelation that shed light on his academic struggles. But rather than let this diagnosis define him, Marcus used it as a stepping stone, channeling his experiences into empowerment.

Today, Marcus is not just a motivational speaker; he's a symbol of hope. Through his book "Three Warriors Within" and his talks, he aims to uplift, empower, and challenge students and youths. By sharing his personal narrative, he provides a relatable roadmap for those facing similar challenges, encouraging them to rise above adversity and embrace their true potential.

Marcus's mission is clear: to ensure that every young individual, regardless of their background or challenges, recognizes their worth and harnesses their inner strength. Join him on this journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and inspiration.

Co-Author

The late Nell Arnold, approached Marcus, and asked him, if he would like to be the 3rd Indigenous person, to have a book, that she was writting, a series, called "Out of Australia" Marcus declined Nell's request, and Nell said, you can't stand in front of students, and tell them, when an opportunity comes your way, grab it, with both hands :) So Marcus did. :)) As an Indigenous motivational and inspirational speaker from St Paul, a small community on Moa Island, in the Torres Strait. The book is primarily aimed at motivating, inspiring, empowering, and challenging students and youths to be the best they can be.

Marcus shares his personal story, which many Indigenous students and youth can relate to, coming from a small remote Indigenous community, in Far North Queensland. He was bullied at school and was often told that he wouldn't amount to anything in life. He was considered "dumb," "stupid," a "duffer," and a "loser." The only thing he was good at in school was sports. He didn't realise he had dyslexia until he joined the Queensland Police Service.

.

Despite his struggles, Marcus managed to overcome his challenges and wants to share the skills he learned along his life's journey to help the youth. He provides simple tools that the students can easily read, digest, and apply in their daily lives.

Some of the key takeaways from the book include:

• The importance of finding a mentor in their community to help them in their life's journey.
  
• The importance of never giving up, no matter how many times you fall. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and try again.
  
• The need to focus on the things they've achieved, even if they are small.
  
• The importance of having a warrior mindset.
