103: J.R. Martinez - Battle Tested: A Journey of Resilience and Triumph
Manage episode 408172514 series 2478575
From the battlefields of Iraq to the dance floor of ABC's “Dancing with the Stars”, J.R. has woven a remarkable tale of resilience and triumph. The Louisiana-born Army Iraq war veteran, and multifaceted talent has defied expectations at every turn, leaving an indelible mark on the worlds of entertainment, literature, and motivational speaking.
Tragedy struck on April 5th, 2003, less than a month into his deployment. While driving in the outsides of Karbala, a roadside bomb engulfed his Humvee, trapping Martinez within, inflicting severe burns to more than 34% of his body and smoke inhalation. Evacuated to Germany and then San Antonio, he spent 34 months undergoing 33 surgeries, including skin grafts and cosmetic procedures. This harrowing ordeal, however, proved to be a crucible, forging his inner strength and igniting a new purpose.
Besides captivating audiences as a top motivational speaker, J.R. is also an actor, having landed a 3-year role in the TV Show, “All My Children”, and, won the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy on the hit TV Show: “Dancing with the Stars” alongside Karina Smirnoff. He is also a philanthropist and New York Times Best-Selling Author of: Full of heart: “My Story of Survival Strength and Spirit.”
