Welcome To Episode Seven of Your Story.
Today we talk with Troy Dorosz who is inspired to connect community groups with his Bound Together concept.
It’s a simple concept of combining the resources of many different groups, while maintaining their individuality, maximising their strengths to fill the holes of other groups, ensuring that those in need and those who donate sponsorship get the greatest possible benefits.
His website is bondtogether.org and his email is troydorosz.gmail.com

Welcome To Episode Six of Your Story.
Today we talk with Juan Mann of Free Hugs fame. You have probably seen the video, if not here it is.
A runaway viral success that has lead onto things greater than anyone could have imagined.
It all started for me when I saw on Twitter that Richard Giles had gone to visit Juan and I thought well there is a story in that!
So I found his Welcome To My Home site and asked if I could drop in, seeing how I was in Sydney. Generously, he agreed.
We talk about the runaway success that the video has become for him and what it has lead on to, including appearing on Oprah and Andrew Dentons Enough Rope along with opportunities that you would never write into a business plan.
Surprisingly this has lead to him developing a career as a public speaker enabling him to continue to get his message out there and to motivate others to follow their passion. Continue Reading »

Here we are in an era of mass communication where an idea can move in a moment around the globe. Where we can share information and give others a chance to see who we are.
But who are we…
If you believe mass media, I’m afraid you’ll end up confused as they have motives for their own benefits and frankly they don’t care for culture just the bottom line.
I’ve been ranting and raving for years about the slow erosion of what it is to be Australian. That is to say who we are, who I am, not better than anyone else just Australian like all of us, in all our variations.
I found this on You Tube. Thanks whoever made this.
So who are we…

Welcome To Episode Five of Your Story.
Today is Australia/Invasion/Survival Day and coincidentally I have a poignant theme.
Rod is a local in my area and when I asked him to tell me his story he just went off on the subjects that impassion him. I had to ask him to stop until I got my recorder as I found that he really had something to say about Australian society and our ill treatment of the native Aboriginal Australians of whom he is one.
Born in Western Australia and adopted by Dutch migrants he grew up in Holland only to return to Australia at 14 to prejudice from both the black and white communities and then to fall, like so many, into the cycle of addiction and prison.
He now has a career as a performer and artist, striving to make his world a better place.
This is His Story.

Welcome to the first but not quite episode of Your Story.
Thanks for dropping by.
In this episode I explain my motivation and what I’m hoping to achieve in producing this podcast.
On this blog I’ve referenced many times to the importance of understanding the ways of life that others live. By appreciating that we are all wanting a good life, a life of community and communication where we are both adding to our society and our own lives we develop a sense that we have purpose. This podcast is about exploring the different ways in which people live their lives and achieve the things that they have done in their lives to get them to the place that they are today.
In this first episode I explain why I’m motivated to achieve what I’m doing and the hopes that I have for you the listener.
