#51 - What If Your Face Wasn’t Yours Anymore? With Terry Healey

What happens when everything you thought defined you is stripped away? In this gripping conversation, Marcus interviews Terry Healey to reveal how tragedy can ignite purpose, power, and resilience. This isn’t about survival, it’s about the fire that rises when nothing else is left. Press play and feel the strength you didn’t know you had.

Terry Healey is a survivor of a life-threatening cancer that left him with a permanent facial difference, and he is an author, keynote speaker, and business strategist. A graduate of UC Berkeley with a thirty-five-year career as a marketing executive, Terry challenges audiences to face adversity and change, and apply his ReBAR resilience framework and principles to gain confidence, build resilience, and find greater purpose and joy in their personal and professional lives. Terry lives in Santa Cruz, CA, with his wife, Sue.
