Raw and real. Get Your Greater is the true story of Mark Shepard going from grate to great. After losing his mother before the age of 10 in a horrific act of violence, Mark's story continues with suffering mistreatment from his family, getting assaulted while in foster care, and later striving to survive poverty and homelessness living on the streets with his young sons. Get Your Greater tells an inspiring story of resilience, strength, ambition, and faith as Mark goes from sleeping on a cold bed of metal bars to leading a life filled with love and gratefulness.

He shares how to build resilience as he recounts personal and poignant accounts that will leave you completely speechless.
