"Part 6: Listen to What the Heroes Think About the In Search Of Heroes Program and Its Impact On Youth, Parents and Business People" by Ralph Zuranski
Robert Channing: I think everybody in the world should benefit from this and will benefit from it. I think the word has to get out. I think I mentioned to you before that I want to do something with you Ralph, with my Power Performers and I’m going to promote “In Search Of Heroes” in everything that I do. That’s one of my life goals.
David Hancock: I think it’s incredible. I think the fact that the In Search of Heroes program reaches beyond just a targeted niche of this one group over another, I think it’s going to be huge. It’s something I think the parents can share with their kids. It’s something business people can share with their employees. I think it’s something the youth can share among each other. I think it’s incredible. I’m very, very excited about it and have been. Again, I’m honored to even be a part of it.
Frank Garon: I think it’s great what you’re doing. I think it’s a celebration of the average person and a reaffirmation that doing the right thing has its own rewards, that you’re not alone. You can find heroism, fulfillment, enjoyment, and satisfaction just in day-to-day events because I celebrate the average person.
If you gave me the keys to a Peterbilt, a big white freight liner or tractor trailer, I could drive across the country tomorrow and not hit a curb, not miss a gear or not whatever. I still walk with the average person in very many ways.
If I walk back to work driving a truck or working in an auto parts store tomorrow, I would do okay with that because I know what the average guy goes through, but at the same point, what a wonderful opportunity we all have here to take advantage of the internet and some of the things we’re speaking about and just move up in life.
The internet has been very, very good to me. That’s all I can tell you. It’s definitely been a blessing. I really can’t complain. Anything I don’t like in my life, I could change now, this second.
I have a world full of opportunity at my feet, and so, to sit there are cry and go, “Oh, I got it so bad.” That’s stupid. I’m not sick. I’m not in the hospital. I’m not dying, I didn’t just lose somebody in a tube train in London so basically, just shut up and get back to work, Frank. That’s the way I look at it.
Craig Garber: I think it’s a great program, any time you raise awareness about children’s needs for heroes is fantastic. Getting people talking about those things is great. Like my son yesterday, he came home from the bus, and he said kids were arguing about the war, or the presidency, and I said look, even if you guys disagree, at least you guys are talking about it, being aware about it.
Either way if you and these kids vote at least you’re getting involved in a positive decision in your life. So, raising awareness is important. Look, you’re trying to save peoples lives, especially young people, as I said before you’re the hero here, not me. You’re the one setting all this up, and making a positive approach to things. I think it’s fantastic.
