Hey, Umer here!
Welcome back to Life Sized Voices—
where we go beyond the pages and into the stories behind the books.
This week, we’re talking with Marco Pasqua—
entrepreneur, speaker, accessibility advocate,
and author of From Potential to Purpose.
Marco’s journey proves that vision isn’t just about seeing the future—
it’s about creating it.
His book isn’t just about overcoming challenges,
but about using them as stepping stones to something greater.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, like your biggest dreams are just out of reach,
this one’s for you.
The Spark
Some books start as a dream. Marco’s started as a vision—literally.
Years ago, during a vision board exercise,
Marco cut out a magazine headline:
📌 One day I will write a book.
The instructor told him
to cut out “one day”—
because if he left it, it would always stay just that:
one day.
That shift changed everything.
Marco started thinking differently.
But what truly pushed him to write From Potential to Purpose
was the demand from his audience.
After his speaking engagements, people kept asking,
“Do you have a book?”
They wanted something they could return to—
his stories, his energy, his lessons—
beyond the stage.
That’s when he knew:
this book needed to exist.
Inside the Pages
From Potential to Purpose is built around one simple truth:
🔹 Challenges aren’t obstacles—they’re opportunities.
Too often, we look at setbacks as reasons to stop.
Marco’s book challenges that thinking,
showing how resilience, collaboration,
and the right mindset can turn obstacles into fuel for growth.
📖 Key Takeaways:
✔ The mindset shift that turns setbacks into stepping stones.
✔ Why you don’t have to do it alone—your network is your greatest asset.
✔ Practical tools to build resilience and take action now.
This book isn’t about just finding your purpose—
it’s about creating it.

and help them turn it into a book that inspires action.
Marco’s book is proof of that. It’s not just his personal story—
