Barnaby is just an everyday Harry Sack 'O Rolls who has just focused on the game plan and had faith to result would take care of itself.
After playing a season for the Sydney Swans in 1998, he thought he was on a path to guaranteed success, but after being bashed in an alcohol fueled gang attack and having a stroke at 25, he was forced to start his life again from scratch. His parents had taught him to plant seeds of small goodness everywhere he walked, so when he had took stock of his life after the near death experience of a stroke, he didn't think he had any skills that would take him anywhere. After just working hard and being good to people though, Barnaby is now an autocue operator at ABC News, a deacon in the Coptic church, an author, a filmmaker, he has given Keynote speeches all around the world for groups such as Google, Nestlé, Linfox, Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance and the Sydney Swans, and on the Everyday Greatness podcast, he has interviewed the 2014 Australian of the year, Olympic and Paralympic medallist and ABC journalists...and one of his most recent guests was the Governor General of Australia who invited herself onto the show.
Barnaby is interested in bringing communities together and helping build resilience by having real human beings talk to each other face-to-face and finding the magic in respecting everybody you exist with – even if you don't like them.
