Today, Rich joins me to explain how to be a mentor and a leader in your community. He shares his career journey and tells us what he’s been up to since leaving SYM in 2000. We discuss the value of self-discovery and how Rich learned to reflect on his own life to become a better employee, boss, leader, and father. He outlines how to be an effective mentor and why he’s chosen to focus on other people to find fulfillment. Rich emphasizes the importance of problem-solving and addressing conflicts head-on. We also discuss some of the most pressing problems Rich sees in his community and how he can help to solve these issues through the K12 Health Foundation.
