What makes a 6 Star Leader? What makes a 6 Star Business? Is the 6th Star really 5 plus 1? These are the questions that we answer through our conversations with guests who are driven by a purpose bigger than themselves and have a desire to reach more people. Our guests are successful business owners, entrepreneurs and passionate professionals who always aspire to evolve, improve, and better themselves and the lives of those they impact. Most often they put the customer experience at the forefront of everything they do. The million-dollar question is: "If that extra 6th star existed, what would you have to do to push your business beyond a 5 star review and go that extra mile?" Each week your host Aveline Clarke and her co-host create a space where they and their guest has a conversation about what it takes to create and sustain a 6 Star Business. This isn’t one of those podcasts where the hosts fire questions at an interviewee in the hot seat; it’s a collaborative exploration and ongoing global conversation about customer journey excellence, employee engagement, humanising business and what that 6th star really means, and how it can be used to create more impact for a better future for us all.

    When Giving to Others Becomes the Greatest Act of All; with Gordo Rutty

    In this conversation I met with the life-giving happy guy, Gordo Rutty.
    What a special man he is - you’ll learn the reason why in the details of the conversation - and I love his enthusiasm and gratitude for life. He shows how easy it is for us to live a life of service and why it’s so important for us to take each day as a gift.


    Here’s a summary of what we discussed:
    06:00 - it starts with family
    10:35 - the different charity projects
    14:00 - where the seed was planted, 30 years ago
    25:00 - why did Gordo do it?
    36:00 - bringing this into business


    and much more…


    Here’s some information about our guest, Gordo:


    Gordo Rutty, Founder of IM Gordo
    Born 4th November 1963 in Kingston Jamaica.
    I am the youngest son to my wonderful parents who through example have taught me what I believe to be great values.   
    In 1974 my family moved to Australia from Jamaica. The decision was made as my dad wanted a better life us. Jamaica was becoming a very dangerous place to live.  
    I was a very active kid and loved adventure, whilst I did ok at school I couldn’t wait for the weekends to ride motor bikes or just generally be outdoors. I left school after the first semester of grade 12 and joined the work force. 
    Ambition and a desire to be able to help others has driven me to crave success. 
    Working hard and going the extra mile are important to me. 
    Karen and I have recently celebrated 26 years of marriage and we have three great children, Connor 24, Hunter 22, and Lucas 19. My beautiful daughter Georgia 32 from my first marriage lives in Newcastle.  
    Serving and helping my fellow human beings does not need big sacrifice, one of the things I do is regularly donate Plasma, just this week, I hit a milestone of 200 donations, this can save many lives.
    My potential messages
    No matter who you are, you can make a difference, you can have a positive effect on other people lives. Each day it is just a matter of deciding that when you meet someone you want them to better for having met you. 
    We don’t have to be Nelson Mandela’s: we just need a heart for others and we can have a huge impact.


    Something Interesting About You
    I donated one of kidneys to a stranger 11 years ago, and since then I have become an advocate for Transplant Australia. Each year now I organise fundraising and awareness campaigns for Transplant Australia.
