CASTING: Self-Made People Who Have Overcome Adversity

From humble or difficult beginnings, have you fought your way to the top to become the person you are today? Do you take pride in the fact that you are self-made and resilient? Do you think others could learn from your story?

And do you think that if you had to - you could do it all over again?

Success has many definitions. Maybe you overcame adversity early on in life and now own a successful business. Perhaps you triumphed over a life threatening illness and became an advocate and leader. However you've become a success, do you think that others could learn about resiliences from your success story. Do you believe that you are the ultimate XX?

If you were knocked off the ladder and had to start over from the bottom with nothing, would you be able to get yourself back on top? Would you be able to summon the strength of will you tapped the first time you overcame the odds?

If so, we want to hear your story! We're working in conjunction with a major cable network to cast self-determined, resilient individuals for a daring new social experiment television show.
