At just 27, Richard Blank took a leap that would shape the rest of his life — relocating to Costa Rica to train over 5,000 employees at one of San Jose's largest call centers. That bold move sparked a journey filled with unexpected turns, cultural challenges, and remarkable growth. Today, Richard is the CEO of Costa Rica's Call Center (CCC), a company he founded in 2008. With a background in communication and Spanish from the University of Arizona — and a language proficiency certificate from the University of Sevilla — Richard combines motivational leadership with tactical communication strategies to empower his team. Over the years, he's personally trained more than 10,000 bilingual telemarketers. Beyond the headset and call metrics, Richard brings a unique twist to company culture: gamification. CCC boasts the largest private collection of restored American pinball machines and Rock-Ola jukeboxes in Central America — a reflection of his belief that fun, connection, and shared experiences are key to building strong teams. A passionate mentor and educator, Richard is also a keynote speaker and scholarship donor at his alma mater, Abington Senior High School, where he supports students pursuing world languages at the university level. This episode is packed with insight on leadership, resilience, and how culture can transform performance. You can learn more about Richard and his Costa Rican call center on their website: https://costaricascallcenter.com/en/costa-ricas-call-center-2/.

Since then, Mike has published to more books - Get Different and All In - How Great Leaders Build Unstoppable Teams. I only have a short time with Mike (he's rather busy as you can imagine) so I jump right into the questions about his books, his business philosophies, frameworks, and what's next on the horizon.

On this episode, I welcome returning guest David Safeer. David is a globally recognized expert in cash flow and profit maximization. He is the founder of Cash is Clear Learning System, which educates and advises accountants and CFOs on cash flow and profit strategies for their clients. His work has impacted hundreds of businesses with revenues from $1MILLION to $20MILLION in over 40 countries. I asked David to come back on the show to discuss the mindset shift that business owners have to make to make better financial decisions regarding cash flow and profitability. Many of the strategies put forward by other cash flow gurus are not within our control. For example, "selling more" is not up to you, it's in the hands of your customers and whether they want to buy more. "Increasing prices" is in the hands of your customers and whether they want to spend more for your products and services. It's a fresh perspective and definitely food for thought. I hope you enjoy this episode.

I had looked forward to this episode and my conversation with Zachary Green, and I was not disappointed. Zachary Green is US Marine veteran, a former firefighter, and a successful entrepreneur. Zachary founded his first company out of the trunk of his car and scaled it to over $30 million. He was recognized as the Ohio Chamber Entrepreneur of the Year and a White House-selected delegate to the Global Entrepreneurship Conference. Zachary is also an internationally best-selling author. His book Warrior Entrepreneur - Lessons from the Battlefield to the Boardroom is compelling. The book covers his deployment in the Marines and his work as a firefighter. Zachary also shares his near-death experience from complications due to COVID. It details his invention, Foxfire®, which illuminates firefighting equipment, jackets, and helmets, making them visible in dangerous, smoke-filled environments, and Lumaware (https://lumawaresafety.com/), for commercial safety applications. In this episode, we talk about the warrior mindset and "grit" which is Zachary's term for the indomitable spirit, never giving up, never giving in. It's the drive that kept him alive, kept him running into burning buildings, and pulled him through his darkest hours. You can learn more about Zachary on his website: https://www.zacharylgreen.com/.

This was one of my most enjoyable interviews. Greg Bennick is nothing short of amazing. He's an author, filmmaker, producer, singer/songwriter, philanthropist, non-founder and co-founder, and an extraordinary juggler. Greg is a TEDx speaker, speaking coach, and influencer who is devoted to transforming the world by inspiring personal and social change. I'm not sure where Greg finds the energy, but it all starts with his philosophy: What if...? Asking "What if...?" opens up doorways that for most seem closed and remote. Imagine what your life could be like if you had an idea that could potentially change the world and simply asked "What if...?" Greg is an engaging storyteller and you'll appreciate his sense of humor and infectious spirit. I hope you enjoy this episode and much as I did. You can connect with Greg on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregbennick/ or on his personal website: https://gregbennick.com.
