McQuilty Quirke spent 18 years in the Australian Army as a medic. He deployed to Timor Leste, Iraq and Afghanistan.  In 2007, McQuilty was awarded the Nursing Service Cross for his lifesaving treatment of a soldier with multiple neck fractures during a training exercise in North Queensland in 2004.  We also discussed how he was the treating medic when I fell off the wash point at Lavarack Barracks and dislocated my shoulder. There were laughs, and there were tears. (I was crying, and he was laughing) In 2011  McQuilty was Wounded-in-Action by an improvised explosive device detonated under his vehicle. The vehicle was thrown ten metres from the blast site, McQuilty was ejected from the rear hatch and thrown thirty metres and landed headfirst on the side of the road. There were several occasions over the next few hours where he would display no signs of life.  McQuilty Quirke Speaking Solutions - www.mcquiltyquirkensc.com.au If you liked this episode, please consider subscribing to my channel; it really helps me out.

Episode 38 - James Davis As leaders move up in their team or business, they have fewer opportunities to spend time with their frontline workforce. Making the most of team interactions at the Manager level and above becomes increasingly important, and Ben was lucky enough to see James do this as the Commanding Officer of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment (2014-2016). James had a significant impact on Ben during this time, and the example that he set shapes the way that Ironside Coffee works each day. He proved that a deliberate approach to interacting and developing the team scales to all levels of leadership.
