Donna and I met Joe Torrillo on our journey of meeting people every day. I first saw Joe doing a talk about his experience as a firefighter on the event of 9/11 and his story was so amazing I reached out to him for a catchup.Joe went to College after high school and did a degree in Architecture and Engineering. As part of his studies he learnt about the construction of the Twin Towers.After College, Joe made a decision to become a firefighter, and served in the NYC Fire Department for 25 years.On the day of the attack, Joe attended the scene and was trapped under the first tower when it fell, incurring terrible injuries. After being rescued, Joe was put on a boat to go across the river when the second tower fell on the boat, trapping him a second time.After a long recovery, Joe worked in the Fire Department for a few more years before retiring and becoming an inspirational speaker. Joe is also a tour guide at ground zero.Joe Torrillohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-torrillo-388b891a/http://joetorrillo.com/goal.cast The 9/11 Firefighter Who Never Gave Uphttps://www.instagram.com/tv/CTrjlt2ou4y/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkStephen Fryhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-fry-19b64614/https://www.instagram.com/thestephenfry/

Donna and I have met Maurie via Zoom as part of our journey of meeting people. Maurie was recommended to us by Devika Valsaraj who we also met on our journey of meeting people.  Devika mentioned there are two people on LinkedIn that she admires the most and Maurie was one of them. This lead us to a joint conversation with Maurie, Devika  and ourselves. In this Zoom meeting Maurie showed us his  collection of irons , a memory that will never be forgotten ?In response to the 2020 Covid-19 restricted visitor precautions Maurie devised a way to maintain connection with his elders whilst adhering to strict infection control. Maurie  simply appeared at their windows & engaged them via the safety of glass. This was trialled with enthusiastic support and his desire to reach his elders who were missing the outside world and craving contact during Covid-19  was quickly embraced. Due to further restrictions, they have currently moved to videochat "Zoom Mates".Maurie Voisey-Barlinhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/maurie-voisey-barlin-87a7861a5/Stephen Fryhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-fry-19b64614/https://www.instagram.com/thestephenfry/

Donna and I have met Sarah at a number of events around Adelaide and it was a pleasure to hear her story for the first time. In Sarah&apos;s own words "I was a high school drop out, left school in year 10 and moved out of home at the age of 16 into an abusive situation. If I can become a successful businesswoman and qualified accountant after a rough start in life, anyone can achieve what they set their mind to!"Sarah is a Qualified Accountant turned Business Strategist and financial freedom fighter. Sarah has taught many business owners over the years how to run their business more profitably, and gain back time instead of their business running them! As a Qualified Accountant, with 15 years’ experience, Sarah has a rare combination of real-world experience, technical knowledge and expertise in business and financial management.Sarah Reimannhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahreimann1975/https://www.sarahreimann.com.au/Stephen Fryhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-fry-19b64614/https://www.instagram.com/thestephenfry/

We met Jarrod on our journey of meeting new people now at 1000+. His story about being a professional musician, his desire to learn about the brain and how he has transformed this into a business helping others, was very interesting. As Jarrod says "A breakthrough in your business will first happen as a breakthrough in your thinking".  About Jarrod in his own words:It&apos;s been my experience working with successful business owners that it&apos;s easy to slip into a rut of making the same income each year despite working harder and harder. This can be incredibly frustrating when you&apos;re doing all you know to do, but at the end of the day it just feels like you&apos;re spinning your wheels.Have you ever met someone who owns several companies, sits on several boards, has a thriving family life, and has time to play golf 20 hours a week?There is a specific way of thinking that produces that kind of lifestyle, and trying harder won&apos;t get you there, as a matter of fact the harder you try the more behind you get. And despite popular wisdom, checking things off your to-do list actually lowers your income.Anytime I see a small business owner hitting the same obstacles like "not having enough time" or "not having enough money" I KNOW it&apos;s not because they aren&apos;t trying hard enough. Entrepreneurs are some of the hardest working people I know!But the thing is, a breakthrough in your situation doesn&apos;t come from a change in your effort - more effort just gets more of what you ALREADY have. A breakthrough - a true transformation in your income and free time will first happen as a breakthrough in your THINKING.Jarrod Haninglinkedin.com/in/jarrod-haning-5831578mindsetperformance.coStephen Fryhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-fry-19b64614/https://www.instagram.com/thestephenfry/
