Lunches With Rick
I’ve started interviewing friends whose life stories I think you’d like to hear. These interviews will usually happen over lunch. One of my first is with old and dear friend Ron Reynolds. Starting out as a high school shop teacher and administrator, he took a leap of faith (in himself) into sales. Along the way he successfully invested in real estate. He reflects at 85 about what got him here.
Two of my favorite quotes:
- Don’t let the people down who love you.
- You have to overcome obstacles, but you’re going to grow from the obstacles
