Episode 13: Everybody Matters to God

Geoff FreindThere are thousands of churches and pastors around the world preaching God’s messages, but unfortunately not many walk their talk.

I have great admiration for people like Major Geoff Freind and my wonderful friend Dennis Perry. They truly are walking in God’s footsteps. They dedicated their lives to feeding the homeless, caring for the sick and giving hope to the forgotten.

Major Geoff Freind has been spending over 34 years of his life offering emotional and spiritual support for thousands in need and helping them find a meaning in life.

Episode 12: What is Your Excuse?

Raffi Shirinian“Life is going to be hard but you can get through it. It’s going to be hard not all the time but once in a while. But you know what, at the end of the day life is you, your own person. And don’t be so down about it. Just keep your spirit up.”

This is the message my friend Raffi Shirinian has for us today.

He was born with a serious birth defect called spina bifida which leaves him wheel chair bound, disabled and having speech and learning difficulties. And yet he refuses to allow his circumstance to define him. He’s one of the most active, upbeat and positive being I have ever known. Whenever I’m feeling down I turn to him for inspiration.

I asked Raffi what was the greatest challenge he was facing. To my surprise, given his circumstances, he said winter. Why winter? Listen to our conversation to find out :)

Reiss HindsToday I’m interviewing an exceptional young entrepreneur who started his first business at the age of 15.

He’s full of dreams, enthusiasm and big ideas and works unbelievably hard towards his goals. He also has great mentors and peers to support his journey. Keep an eye on him, I have no doubt he will become successful.

I love talking to young and ambitious people. They give me that incredible feeling and urge to go out there and chase my dreams. I can’t wait to see this young man achieving all his dreams and set a great example for all of us to follow.

The clock is ticking Reiss :)

Episode 10: Do You Believe in Miracles?

Dennis PerryDo you believe in miracles? I do after interviewing this amazing man.

First disease tried to kill him and it didn’t succeed. Man had a go and failed miserably. Mother nature gave it her best shot and she failed too.

He was pronounced clinically dead three times and three times he beat the odds.

Dennis is a philanthropist and a humanitarian. He has been spending more than 14 years working and saving thousands of underprivileged people in PNG.

After listening to Dennis’ story I absolutely have no doubt that miracles do happen. He’s living proof. What an incredible human being! His story will blow you away.
