Some people find their life's purpose early on in life, but for the majority of us, it takes a little trial and error. But one thing is certain — once you've figured it out, you'll have no doubt in your mind that's what you're meant to do.   Meet Harout Markarian, an entrepreneur and engineer who has pursued entrepreneurship not only to fulfill his life's passions, but to also give others the gift of mobility and a simpler life. He and his cofounder, Jeff Hoffman, are developing technology that will ultimately help those with limited mobility or disabilities regain some of their independence and mobility.    It wasn't always clear that this was his path, but now that he's here, Harout knows that his purpose in life is to serve others and use his entrepreneurial gifts to give back to humankind. Get ready to be inspired by Harout's story and mission, because he's a true example of someone who uses their influence to benefit others.   Key Topics: Taking pride in your work and accomplishments Serving those with limited mobility Recognizing the difficulties of being a caretaker and having a desire to help Hearing the inspiring stories of the people who need mobility assistance Creating the first robotic appendage to reduce fall risk An overwhelming amount of positive feedback Growing up in Lebanon as a ballet dancer and pro basketball player Adjusting to a new life in the US Understanding and accepting our own learning styles Getting through the boring parts of a job The expectations of living in the US vs Lebanon from family Putting yourself in uncomfortable situations in order to grow Building true, genuine human relationships that last a lifetime Staying true to your mission to overcome imposter syndrome   Connect with Harout online: Website: https://www.haroutmarkarian.com/about https://www.markbotix.com/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/Mobility-Inclusion-accessible-inclusive-world/dp/1735838306 Instagram: @haroutzm Twitter: https://twitter.com/HaroutZM     Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage Interested in 1:1 Coaching or Hiring Courtney for a Speaking Engagement or Workshop?
