Walk With Sally was founded by Nick Arquette in 2005, naming it for his mother who was diagnosed with breast cancer and after many years of treatment, died when Nick was sixteen.

Nick never forgot how challenging and isolating the years of his mother’s illness and loss had been for him as a child. Wanting to keep the legacy of his Mother alive while seeking to serve youth facing similar circumstances, Nick searched for mentoring opportunities in the community only to discover that no organization was filling this critical support gap.  After careful research, he launched Walk With Sally and began mentoring a youth who had recently lost his mother to cancer. 

From that first successful friendship, Walk With Sally’s core Mentoring Program has expanded, having served hundreds of families throughout the South Bay over the past 10+ years and today actively serving 63 children, boys and girls ages 7-17, with trained volunteer mentors throughout Los Angeles County.

 

Key Points

1/ How to turn trauma into hope

2/ Keeping the memories and the legacy alive

3/ What it’s like to build a business that is not about money, but about helping others

Matt was a huge success, who made his first million right out of college, and then built that into a thriving business and lifestyle most of us dream about. He had 15 thriving companies making multi-millions of dollars every year. He had a big house, his own private airplane, a happy family, and the belief that nothing could take that away from him.

UNTIL ONE DECEMBER DAY IN 2008 HE HEARD A KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

Two men in black suits and badges stood in front of him. And they said the six words that can terrify even the strongest person:

“WE’RE WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.”

 

Key Points

1/ As bad as everything is or seems, finding gratitude can help you to move froward

2/ Be willing to do whatever it takes

3/ Be willing to find the right person for help

Daryl’s life was shattered in 2000 when he was TWICE SHOT in the face and shoulder while on a routine callout to a neighbourhood dispute. Despite critical injuries, he drew his firearm and began searching for the gunman. A year later, for his actions that night, he was awarded for his bravery, but Daryl was only just embarking on his harrowing road to recovery.

What followed was a decade of dark times. It’s only through sheer grit and determination, and the support of those around him, that Daryl made his way back from the depths of despair.

Over ten years, while suffering depression and PTSD, Daryl underwent over a dozen surgical procedures to reconstruct his shattered mouth, successfully waged a 10 year battle for criminal compensation, overcame one of his greatest fears and became a firearms instructor, earned a masters in finance and achieved three further promotions within the Queensland Police Service.

Today, Daryl shares his powerful life lessons through his TWICE SHOT talks, workshops and programs. With a natural gift for public speaking, he captivates and inspires his audience, bringing people from tears to laughter, providing them with a truly transformative experience.

 

Key Points

1/ Don’t care what other people think. The people you care about, care about what they think!

2/ Nothing lasts forever, good or bad. Change is constant. There is always hope, even if you cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel, it may not be an easy road, but it is within your reach.

3/ Three things to do, when all seems hopeless: (1) mindset = ‘Keep Going’; (2) talk to someone who has had a similar experience and come out the other side; (3) write simple to do lists, next prioritise tasks and then take action. This helps things make sense in chaos, charts a way forward with small smart decisive actions, which builds momentum and in time enables you to conquer what you thought was impossible.
