He’s committed to helping others identify the problem they solve and build a strategy for lasting success."You're most specifically equipped to help someone get through a problem that you have already walked past. That's the greatest shortcut."Rory has a unique story of how he came to be an entrepreneur, found his place on the stage, and embraced the wisdom and insight of others so he could keep growing. As a college student, he found his niche in door-to-door sales. With a knack for developing principles of personal success and development, he soon found himself on the speaking stage and rubbing shoulders with mentors who would change the trajectory of his future."There's so few people who have walked the exact path that you have walked that have overcome the problems that you have overcome. And so there is somebody out there right now who is looking for questions to answers that, you know off the top of your head, they're trying to find a path that you already walked 100 times.”His mindset, experience, and intentionality have set Rory apart in the industry.
