Season 5 - Episode 10: Success is trying to be a good person

Ken Marslew is not a "victim" – he has always had options. When Ken's son Michael was gunned down during a robbery at Pizza Hut in 1994, he used that tragedy to try and make the world a better place – He started an antiviolence movement called "Enough is Enough", he has been criticised for trying to help criminals rehabilitate (including offering his sons killer a job), but he's just a real human being trying to offer people a chance to realise that we all have options, so we shouldn't be too quick to call ourselves "victims."

You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl – Sarah Jones grew up as a ridiculously passionate sports fan in the Victorian country town of Echuca – she has gone on to live every sports fan's dream as a commentator, host and presenter on Fox Sports Australia where her gigs have included the AFL Grand Final, the Melbourne Cup, the Australian Open, The Ashes and The Presidents Cup. Despite being something of a media celebrity, Sarah is just a "country girl, done good" at heart.

Season 5 - Episode 4: Success is opportunity

When opportunity came knocking for Ahmed Kelly, he rolled out the red carpet, put it in the comfy chair and got it a glass of champagne! Ahmed could easily have wallowed in self pity after being born with severe limb deficiencies to his arms and legs and lived in an orphanage in Baghdad until the age of seven, but Ahmed was adopted and brought to Australia by Moira Kelly, became a Paralympic athlete and won a silver medal in the swimming at the Paralympic games in Tokyo in 2021. Ahmed shows that sometimes good things DO happen to good people.

After not sleeping for seven days straight, going from drug den to drug den, injecting some of the strongest drugs available, and considering taking his own life, Daniel Kolarik picked up the phone, rang his mum and said: “Mum, I can’t do this anymore..I need help”. He was sent to a rehab clinic where he was broken down and built back up again into a new man – he hasn't touched drugs or alcohol since October 2021, he runs his own business, has rebuilt relationships with his family and friends and takes great pride in telling his story of overcoming drug addiction to people who have no hope just like he did for such a long time.

Sometimes super women don't wear capes.
Kathy Kelly lost both of her 18-year-old sons – one to alcohol fuelled violence and the other to suicide – She became a keynote speaker and was often mobbed by every day people wondering where she gets all of her strength from, but she didn't know what to tell them – she was just a mother, a wife and a friend. Kathy shows people that the small stuff we all have inside us that we think is no big deal IS enough.
