About this episode

The World’s #1 Personal Development Book Podcast!  


In today’s episode, we have the pleasure to interview Marco Pasqua, author of From Potential to Purpose: Your Guide to Authentic Connections.


Marco is an award-winning entrepreneur, accessibility consultant, and inspirational speaker. Born with cerebral palsy, he’s spent over a decade helping global brands and organizations create more inclusive environments — all while showing others how to turn life’s obstacles into fuel for growth. He’s delivered TEDx talks, advised governments, and created a framework that’s changing lives.


In this episode, you’ll learn how Marco’s CUBE Principle can help you creatively utilize your best energy to overcome challenges, how to reframe limitations into launchpads for purpose, and why authentic connection — to people, passions, and yourself — is the key to lasting success.


We hope you enjoy this incredible conversation with Marco Pasqua.
