He has listed companies on multiple international stock exchanges, and his financial services group has settled more than $3bn in loans over 22 years.

In 2013 Rael had a life changing epiphany when, whilst training for a marathon after a season of Triathlons he was diagnosed with two very severely blocked arteries. After having two stents inserted, he is back to his fitness and strength from 2013, but much more self aware of listening to his body and mind.

This experience helped Rael find purpose in life. He found purpose in sharing the experiences of journeying and achieving excellence. Today he works on the premise that being excellent is showing up as the best version of yourself every day.
