Richard is one of my favourite people in the world. It is that simple. He has taken that big leap into following your dreams and passions, and also saying enough is enough in a job that was no longer fulfilling and nourishing, and that is inspirational.

In this wide ranging conversation we dive into a myriad of topics from the joys of sabbaticals, meditation, writing, golf in general and much more. Our conversations tend to be tangential and that is one of the joys of spending time with Richard.

Please enjoy this conversation and definitely also click the links below. His book is a wonderful read, as is his blog. They transport us back to being a child and reminds me of my passion for this game that has taken me on life's journey.
