They are ALL short-term revenue growth hacks. Get rich quick schemes. Branding, organic seo, online ads, email marketing, digital, traditional, funnel hacking, and automation will continue to leave you empty handed and depleted.That won't change with your next contracted "yes man".The Law of Abundance and the Law of the Harvest can work in your favor though. Especially when you focus your life on serving others.How can you better tap into the power of that truth?Hard-work is to be embraced.Entrepreneurs and business leaders that truly care about the people they serve see value in our approach.If you want to make an impact that helps more people throughout this world, call me.Sustainable revenue growth is the answer.Why?

Unloaded and Uncovered Podcast is based on my struggles in life, viewpoints, opinions on popular topics and pop culture (every now & then), and an unconventional way for me to uncover and unload whatever it is that is on my chest. I love the no-filter, no-holds-barred aspect of my podcast because when I've said all that I can say, I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off of my shouldersRichard got to where he is in life by getting past parents guilt and not doing what others want you to do.The entire time I was editing these reels and short clips, I couldn’t help but smile and say yaaaaassss Richard. I asked Richard what advice he would give to someone who may be listening or watching who are having a difficult time with NOT wanting to do what their parents want them to do. Richard talks about how he took a different path in life by being inspired by what his great grandfather accomplished as an immigrant from Romania/Russia. https://youtu.be/V6-ATapmBBYhttps://youtube.com/shorts/G6TyFvOTq7Mhttps://youtu.be/lbte-SNguGwhttps://youtube.com/shorts/ZDeij6LJpikhttps://youtube.com/shorts/kV1u05ZwfeQhttps://youtube.com/shorts/E15E0h0pK1Q
