Richard puts 1000% into whatever he undertakes, from his service in the military to his first job, all the way to his six children and wife. He started a landscaping business, then pivoted during the crisis of '08/'09, and later began a fitness facility. After selling it, he continued to help others through coaching. His passion shines through in this episode, and you'll get a few laughs while learning how to take control of your business and connect the dots.
