BRUNO MARS: The Wrestler, The Name, The Lesson | 5K Day 281

5K EVERY DAY – Day #281

(“Uptown Funk” clip)

40 years ago today, Peter Gene Hernandez was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. As a toddler, his father thought that Peter was a little chunky and resembled a famous wrestler, whose first name was Bruno. That nickname stuck.

The “Mars” part came later, when Peter dropped his surname Hernandez to avoid being typecast by record labels. He reinvented himself to create opportunity.

And he didn’t just sit around waiting for fame.
Bruno Mars worked for it. He practiced every day until his moment came.
That kind of daily grind? Yeah… kinda like running a 5K every day.
