How to Go From A Zero Percenter to Champion Winner in Life

From Zero Percent to Purpose

Christopher J. Smith’s life changed forever on November 24, 2021, when he was shot point‑blank in the head and left for dead after going on a first date. A 9mm hollow‑point bullet remains lodged in his frontal lobe.

Doctors informed his parents that he had a zero percent chance of survival or recovery. Christopher suffered three major ischemic strokes, spent more than two months in a coma, and was told he would never walk, talk, or live independently again.

Against every medical prediction, he survived—and recovered.

Christopher’s journey from the ICU to full independence became the foundation of his mission: proving to the world we can All achieve, succeed, exceed expectations & that we are all unstoppable & can overcome anything life throws at you
