The Suicide Epidemic, Beating Disability and Capital Raising For A Multi Million Dollar Startup

High Performance Conversations with James Cant

Tommy Trout is a high level dude who doesn’t have a business background.

He is a bloke who’s biggest life mission is to help others

He started out traveling around the Outback for National Suicide Prevention programs in communities with high numbers of suicide cases.

And the business he runs now happens to be a major success

Because it caters to a market that the fitness industry overlooks.

He is the founder of his own company, WeFlex, they connect people with a disability to mainstream fitness and health providers.

His company employs people that belong to the same demographic the business caters to

Because they understand the real needs and what will work for their market.

You see a lot of fellas often reject clients with special needs because they don’t know how to handle them.

The problem is very close to home for Tommy because autism runs in his family.

He’s searched high and low for physical therapists who could help his folks out

And decided one day to put up WeFlex to help see an end to the problem.

Tommy may not be the typical businessman but he is a visionary changing world.

I’ve invested in the company because I really believe this is a product we’ve been needing for a very long time.

And having him in my podcast was the right thing to do.

See you in the episode, legends.

Cheers.
