Live from Edgewood American Legion Post 17, Rich celebrates 10 years and 750+ episodes with special guests Kristy Breslin, Sensei Sydney Brackins, and the Delbridge family who helped launch the show’s in-person era. They swap origin stories, community wins, and wild ideas (hello, “Santa Smackdown”), then the co-hosts take the mics for a candid Q&A on growth, recovery impact, and what’s next. Sponsors and local shout-outs abound—this one’s a love letter to Harford County and beyond.

Guest Bios:
· Kristy Breslin – Longtime local media personality and nonprofit amplifier; host with Harford TV/Harford MagaScene who urged Rich to go global and coined “Conversations with Rich Bennett.”
· Sensei Sydney Brackins – Head instructor at Empire Dojo; teaches Japanese Jiu-Jitsu with a real-world self-defense focus and “stress inoculation” training; youth leadership mentor.
· Brad, Larry & Linda Delbridge – Former owners of Towne Grill & Pub (the original in-person recording hub for the show); community builders who still host paint nights and stayed close to Rich and his family.
Main Topics:
· How the show started, broke a camera, then became a podcast at Towne Grill & Pub.
· Kristy Breslin’s pivotal rebrand advice and nonprofit storytelling mission.
· 10-year milestones: top 3% globally, 110+ countries; rarity of hitting 750 episodes.
· Sensei Sydney’s Japanese Jiu-Jitsu approach, real-life “SIT” drills, and building inner peace & discipline.
· “Santa Smackdown” fundraiser idea and playful taser-knife ribbing.
· Delbridge family memories: vegan meatball switcheroo, restaurant margins, and why that side room mattered.
· Co-host roundtable: addiction series impact, favorite moments, embarrassing on-air detours, dream guests.
