Herbert D. Richards served 20 years in the United States Air Force, retiring as a Technical Seargent from 1958-1977. Born in Jacksonville, IL and raised in East Alton, IL, he grew up in a poor, but hard working family. His father went from job to job and they moved around Illinois often, but finally settled in East Alton. At 16 years of age, he quit school to get a job and help his father make ends meet. When he enlisted into the US Air Force, he was able to earn his GED. He spent his whole career around every Air Force Base there ever was, served two combat tours in Vietnam and flew around the world twice.

In this episode of the Swandingo Files our host Stephen Swanson interviewed Jason McNamara.

Jason McNamara has found his passion after a successful career in sales where he transitioned to Business Development, Investments, Entrepreneurship, and Coaching and Training. He cofounded 4DV’s which is a business accelerator and efficiency optimization corporation meant to help entrepreneurs quickly scale their small businesses to maximize potential. He also sits on several nonprofit boards that range from revitalizing lower-income neighborhoods to coaching youth baseball to help give back to his community. Before all this, he ventured into Real Estate flips, long-term rentals, and short-term rentals and still manages his portfolio today. He invests in businesses and endeavors not only based on extrinsic value potential but looks for opportunities that will give back to the world as well. Born in the heart of the Caribbean (USVI) and growing up in Florida, Jason learned a lot about many different cultures while excelling in school where he won many awards. One of his proudest moments was winning the American Mathematics Competition in his school of 2500 people, while he was in the tenth grade while competing against everybody else. He went on to become a certified EMT, with degrees in Accounting, Organizational Management, and an MBA from the University of Miami and he has committed himself to never stop learning. Jason joined the Navy in 2007 and trained to be an Aviation Technician on the P3 Orion aircraft and served the joint task force Guantanamo Bay assisting with prison operations and CIA interrogations where he earned two Navy and Marine Corps achievement medals and was Honorably discharged from active duty in 2010. From there he spends a few years working to help veterans overcome barriers to employment through outreach and direct job developments with interested employers and pioneered new initiatives that drastically lowered veteran unemployment in the four-county area where he worked. His father's passing changed his perception of what to do next so he took a chance on a new career. Jason is no stranger to taking a risk so he decided to step out of his old position and take on a new one, door-to-door sales. This is where he feels he evolved the most. “I remember someone pulling a gun on me after I knocked on the door, the trick in sales is similar to everything in life, stay calm and think. I wasn’t shot. I was able to diffuse the situation with my words and smile and then ten minutes later the gentleman came back out with his credit card”-Jason McNamara. After a few months, he was quickly promoted to Sales Supervisor where he trained dozens of new successful sales reps and eventually moved on to other positions achieving the highest ever recorded sales, a wall full of plaques and awards, and many bonus checks. His true passion wasn’t in selling services anymore though, he wanted to do more and give back. “I treat every customer like I would my own grand-mother, attention to detail, integrity, honor, certain core values resonate with a customer and trust-building is essential in continuing any successful business endeavor. Sales and Lead Gen are extremely complex and there is no one size fits all solution. Each campaign should be customized for maximum outcome.”-Jason McNamara
