What happens when survival becomes your catalyst for service?

In this powerful episode, Grayson Marshall Jr., Clemson basketball Hall of Famer and founder of the life-changing nonprofit Project 7:13, joins us to unpack what it means to rewrite your narrative. After surviving a near-fatal aortic dissection in 2024, Grayson emerged with a renewed mission: to lead with faith, redefine success, and shift mindsets from “self-made” to “servant-made”

Known as “The Coach,” Grayson channels faith, discipline, and resilience into serving others, whether he's mentoring entrepreneurs, guiding athletes through life's next chapter, or empowering communities through holistic wellness

In this episode, we explore:

• How surviving a major health crisis became the spark for a greater purpose
• The impact of the “servant-made, not self-made” philosophy on leadership and identity
• Project 7:13’s mission to dismantle limiting beliefs and foster spiritual, emotional, and mental abundance
• Daily practices that reinforce faith, focus, and emotional resilience

If you’ve ever faced a life-altering challenge or wondered how to pivot with purpose, this conversation will inspire you to lead with extraordinary intentionality!
