This has got to be one of the most influential episodes to date, consisting of a lot of raw emotion, fiery motivation and a strong sense of purpose. Ray runs 5 early childcare centres here in Papamoa, Future Focus, with his partner.

We cover key phases of Rays life starting with becoming a father at 16yr old, moving to St Pauls Collegiate and heading to university. The following phase was becoming NZ's youngest principle at the time and realising he hated it. The fuel to his fire had run out. With change on the card, he moved to the Middle East but the key aspect in this phase was meeting Courtney, his lovely wife. This flows into becoming a dad again, suffering from anxiety and going to therapy for that and also his childhood trauma.

We touch on his current role as a leader, what it means to be a great leader, the exciting opportunities they've worked hard to receive and his massive ambitious appetite.

This was an epic yarn, please share it around as there are many take aways. Thank you so much Ray!
