Matt Kratiuk & Kirsty Rourke | LIVE - For Vinnies CEO Sleepout | Lead with Courage
Imagine rising from the depths of addiction and homelessness to become a beacon of hope and innovation in the community. That's the story of Matt Kratiuk, a former ice addict who reclaimed his life and now serves as Chief Growth Officer at TACTIC, and passionate Ambassador for the Vinnies CEO Sleepout. His journey is a striking example of resilience and transformation, one that he generously shares in this heart-rending episode. Alongside him, we welcome Kirsty Rourke, an influential force in social and affordable housing. Together, their experiences shed light on our capacity for change and the collective power of value-driven leadership.
The conversation pivots to the societal tremors caused by homelessness, scrutinising the stark realities, overlooked statistics and the real costs of not solving this escalating crises. Personal stories intertwine with hard-hitting facts, as we discuss the alarming number of homeless Australians and the unique struggles faced by older women and families without shelter.
Wrapping up with tangible hope, we discuss the instrumental role businesses and community initiatives play in giving back and fuelling change.
