Are You Waiting For Permission?

A conversation with activist and athlete David Richman

Episode Summary

Today, please join us as we sit down for an inspiring conversation with activist, athlete, author and amazing human, David Richman.

Episode Notes

By the time he was in his late 30’s, David was a sedentary, over-weight smoker who was stuck in an abusive and unhealthy marriage. It was clear that if he was going to enjoy any kind of satisfaction in life, he had to stop focusing on what others wanted out of him, and zero in on what he wanted for himself.

He began to set measurable, attainable and meaningful goals—to become healthy, to raise his young twins in a safe home environment, to become a top performer at work and to seek out his own physical, mental and emotional limits.

Through lessons learned in business, sport and life, David introduces the concept of “winning in middle of the pack” and discusses how we all can get more out of ourselves than we ever imagined.

His most recent adventure was a nearly 5,000-mile solo bike ride across the country in which visited most of the participants for his upcoming book chronicling 15 people’s remarkable and unique emotional journeys with cancer. Connect with him at https://david-richman.com/

David is a businessman, corporate and motivational speaker, personal consultant, and author of CYCLE OF LIVES and WINNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK.
