Amazing businessman and friend with infectious passion and massively positive relationships worldwide - not seen him for 20+ years⚠️
Great interview, Justin. Akansha, it is so refreshing to see someone be honest and open about the challenges they went through in their lives. I was so touched to hear the part when you wanted to give up on life! That is big! And it needs courage to share publicly. And it is all about channelling that negative energy to building something extraordinary, which you did with Socialize... Congratulations to you. I also resonated with you when you said that as entrepreneurs, we connect our identity with our business, and it is very difficult to think beyond it because we are so attached to what we have built; we believe that is all we know. Enjoyed listening to your journey. Thank you for sharing.
Well needed for me! Richard is someone I always admire and I do follow his footsteps in exploring everything all alone! One hour of worthy talk and know sharing! Impressive! I wish one day, I would like to sit with Richard to get some guidance! Thanks for sharing this podcast!
Great conversation @Justin McGuire and @Leopold. Nice connecting of dots on philosophy, ideas and personal growth!
