Buddy Rathmell: Finding purpose by fighting human trafficking

Today's guest Buddy Rathmell ran anti-human trafficking operations in South East Asia for over 20 years. But Buddy didn’t have a law enforcement background, or military background, or any training that would prepare you for that kind of work. What he had was a desire to solve a problem that he cared about, and the ability to build a team around him that could accomplish the mission.
This was an important conversation for me because it provided more proof that regular people can do extraordinary things if they get in touch with their purpose.

I felt exactly the same as Buddy when I saw the movie 'sound of freedom', I havent been the same person since. I see he doubled up with His friend Matt in Thailand to help with human trafficking. I have total respect for anyone who joins the struggle to end this horredous Evil in society. Thank You for sharing this podcast we need so much more work and Action to make this a massive global movement.

Thank you so much for listening and for your thoughtful comment. There are a lot of good people doing solid work in this area. Some of us can simply donate a bit of cash, others can be boots on the ground. I think these criminals should also here our collective voice that we are aware they are out there and we want them off this planet.

Buddy, I'm so glad you brought up your love for Proverbs. It is an enticing book and the one I primarily give credit for in being able to retire at the age of 43. My family didn't talk about money, but that book taught me what I needed to know.

“If you have the intention and passion to make a difference and impact the lives of other people out there” I love that. Glad to know that there are people out there that have a heart to change the lives of people and make a difference in people’s lives especially the victims of human trafficking, this is so real in our communities and across the border. Thank you for sharing, I am learning a lot from this being an anti human trafficking lawyer.
