The Irish Hulk
“The Irish Hulk”, Mark Getty, will join Mercy Russell today on The Remarkable Relationships Show on overcoming fear and developing the mental strength to succeed. When Mark was 16 his mum was diagnosed with cancer and given very little time to live. It was one of the worst times of his young life and was filled with a deep sense of frustration and injustice at the world. Being 16, he didn’t know what to do with this anger and ended up getting into all sorts of trouble as my hormones and inability to make sense of the world, raged inside of me. His mum, being the wise woman that she was, asked his cousin to take me to the gym to train, perhaps realizing that all this frustration he was holding inside, needed release. When he stepped into the gym, it was like entering another world. Over twenty years ago, gyms were not filled with pretty boys brandishing smart phones.
