Foster Kid

'Against All Odds' with Zion Clark

This is the incredible story of ZION CLARK, whose life has taken everything away from the first day.

Born without legs due to “caudal regression” syndrome, and abandoned by his mother at birth, he spends his first 16 years between one house of trust, until he discovers the wrestling and love of a new mother .

He is a Guiness World Record holder has featured on Ellen, CNN, Fox News, ESPN and features in the Netflix Documentary ‘Zion’ scoring two Sports Emmy's and nominated for Short Film Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.

Became the first American Athlete to compete in both the Olympic (wrestling) and Paralympic (wheelchair racing) Games in Tokyo (2020) and when he isn’t qualifying or training he stays busy as a motivational speaker

The moral of Zion's inspirational story is that things don't always go smoothly in life...but in order to succeed, you must adapt to your individual circumstances.

Priding himself in hard work, Zion offers that there are no excuses...or shortcuts! It's all about faith, passion, and perseverance.

One of the most inspirational episodes as founder Glenn chats with Zion about his journey and shows that there are no excuses that should stop you from doing what you love and what you want to do in life even when odds may be presented to you..

Anthony Trucks is a self proclaimed “Foster kid turned NFL athlete turned serial entrepreneur." He is a family man, appeared on an American Ninja Warrior, is a former NFL player, Business Owner, International Speaker and Corporate Business Consultant. At the age of three years old, Anthony was placed into the foster care system. It’s a well-known fact that up to 50 percent of kids placed in the system will end up homeless upon emancipation, and 75% of prison inmates in the U.S. are former foster kids so needless to say the odds were against him from the beginning. This looming reality was never lost on him and he spent a good bulk of his childhood feeling adrift, unworthy and listless. For years, he spent every day in survival mode, just trying to make it to the next day, week and year in one piece. Listen in to this powerful episode, as Anthony delves in to his story, his personal struggles and how he overcame adversity and turned everything around to become the man he is today. Powerful, inspirational and life lessons that we can all learn from.
