People said that you were the highlight of the two days! I couldn't fault you Tony. I thought you were brilliant, and I have to say that Jordan and Holly are very lucky to have a Dad like you.

Tony is a distinctively powerful man. It is rare that such strength can be drawn from the words of one individual.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will remember you until I draw my last breath.

It's not often you get to listen to someone who has such a clear message to deliver with such authenticity, raw passion and clarity. Thanks.

A lot of people are still in awe of your speech yesterday. Unfortunately it takes a lot to get my attention but you did. Amazing, powerful stuff.

I have been involved in many corporate events and have heard many different motivational speakers. I was truly moved by Tony's presentation and the genuine, heartfelt way he put forth his story. I also enjoyed hanging with him after the event: he is a man's man!

I have heard many guest speakers... he is by far the best I have ever heard.

Tony, I have met people from all over the world, I have heard motivational speakers that command fees in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but I have never been as moved, motivated and inspired by anyone like you. To have the opportunity to spend time speaking with you outside the presentations was something I will never forget. The pictures you shared, the obvious passion that inspires you, your friendliness are all rare things in this world. Thank you for spending time with us and thank you for inspiring me to be better.

Tony was able to cut through all the 'ice breaking' which normally occurs at the start of any national conference, and after his presentation our whole team were engaged, unified, and talking and listening straight from their hearts. This was something we hadn't anticipated when we engaged Tony, and the value that that added to the short time we had to spend together as an organisation allowed us to come together and achieve some fantastic outcomes.

To me, yours is not just a story of courage in the face of adversity, it is more a story about a victory for passion and desire, in an ongoing battle against fear and uncertainty. It is said that fear and desire are the two great motivators... well it's clear to me where you draw your motivation! Your story certainly struck a chord for me personally, as I know it did for everyone else who was present. Congratulations on your marvelous achievements, of which I have absolutely no doubt there will be many more, and if I knew the first thing about sailing I'd be lining up in the hope of getting on board your next adventure to the Antarctic! Rest assured, never again will I fail to 'look it in the eye'.
Macquarie Bank Limited

Thank you so much for a fabulous presentation. You touched the hearts of everyone in the room and everyone walked away with a different outlook on life and what life is worth. Not to mention a lot of tears of sadness and joy. It was an emotional roller coaster for a number of people. I have had all 250 come up to me at some point since your presentation and say that not only were you the best speaker Macquarie Securitisation has ever had at a conference, but that you were the most inspiring person that they had ever heard speak. Your life experiences and adventures are ones of which you should be proud. Your love for life and your family are one of a kind. Sailing is only a small part of what makes you you.
Macquarie Securitisation

To say I enjoyed your presentation is an understatement. Your words truly spoke to me and the passion you showed for your children mirrors my own.
