Breaking heroic news
Every hour, extraordinary things are happening that rarely dominate the traditional news cycle.

Those stories are breaking news too.

But Heroic is interested in the next chapter.
The decision. The fight. The rebuild. The comeback.

Founded from a belief that stories can change lives
Sir Marco Robinson
Entrepreneur · #1 Bestselling Author · TV Creator · Filmmaker · Founder
Heroic Breaking News™ was founded by Sir Marco Robinson around a simple conviction: the people capable of inspiring the world aren't always the people the world hears about.
Across decades of building businesses and telling stories, he repeatedly encountered people whose lives were more extraordinary than anything that appeared in the headlines.
Survivors who rebuilt. Entrepreneurs who started again. Unknown people who changed somebody else's life. People who turned their worst experience into their greatest contribution.
Heroic Breaking News™ is the platform he talked about creating for more than a year.
Find the heroes.
Tell their stories.
Change what the world pays attention to.
The Heroic Daily™

It doesn't always wear a uniform. It doesn't always have money. It doesn't always have followers. It doesn't always know somebody is watching.
Sometimes heroism is running into danger. Sometimes it's surviving. Sometimes it's speaking up. Sometimes it's building something. Sometimes it's starting again.
Sometimes it's simply refusing to let what happened to you become the end of your story.
We're here to find those people.
We're here to tell their stories.
We're here to remind the world what human beings are capable of.
This is Heroic.
