The Sport of RICH

EPISODE 1 – March 11, 2020

Have you ever thought about money as a sport? Have you ever thought of yourself as a professional? This inaugural conversation about The Sport of Money will realign the way that you think about yourself and your relationship with money. In this lesson, Richard will talk about how to shift from being an amateur to treating yourself like a professional. If you don’t know how to do that, don’t worry — Richard will introduce you to some of the things that professionals do like have good role models, setup goals, and how to crank up the intensity. It is time to take your first step in The Sport of Money.

EPISODE 2 – March 18, 2020

We have started the conversation, and it is time to dig deeper. Know that digging deeper means that you will hear, learn, and put into action what is in this seminar. Know that being in this conversation means you are in action. Know that the exercises you complete here are in fact, you taking action in a tangible and measurable way. In this week’s seminar, you will start the shift to understanding that your action is the source of your wealth. Richard will explain plainly, the 7 Financial Stages that move you from disorientation and into performance. In the same spirit, he will explain the 4 biggest fears that people have about money and where your financial blind spots may exist that are holding you back. Don’t worry, everyone goes through these stages and Richard will help you navigate it and build your financial game. Remember, it is okay to aim and accomplish one thing at a time.

EPISODE 3 – March 25, 2020

In this 3rd seminar of The Sport of Money, Richard introduces you to a conversation that people rarely have but is critical to your foundation for earning more money, creating more wealth, and increasing your worth. That’s not fancy speak – learn what each of those are and your relationship to them. With a foundation laid to take decisive action, follow Richard and discover the 4 different types of worth and identify which ones you want more of in your life.

EPISODE 4 – April 1, 2020

Richard makes a big statement this week in what surely seems to go against the grain: there is no such thing as self development; all there is, is you taking positive action towards your goals which inevitably creates change. Are you lacking confidence? Then pick a big goal (much larger than surviving) be lit on fire to achieve it and act. What will happen is you will have the experience of saying you will do something and following it through to completion. Learn what the 6 Response-Abilities are and how they appear when problems arise, and what state humans automatically fall into in the absence of goals and awareness. Important for this week’s lesson, learn how emotional engagement creates commitment to financial goals.

EPISODE 5 – April 8, 2020

Money is a game — you can win at it or lose at it – so what kind of game do you want to play? Today, Richard is talking about how your money game relates to the world that we live in. He is talking about the LEAD Sequence which is a tool for calmly assessing and resolving a problem, and why this ties into your financial response-ability. As Richard points out, most people are not aware of their responsibility and this affects their money game because it means a person is showing up on the field but avoiding the gameplay because they are scared to be counted on. In this lesson, you will absorb a whole new way of strengthening your financial foundation, increasing your mental toughness in your money game, and understand why being courageous is more important than being perfect.

EPISODE 6 – April 15, 2020

Are you having a sinking or stuck feeling when you are asking your network of people for money in a project? It is probably because you aren’t clear about what you are asking for and why you want to achieve a particular goal. The people who are best at raising money are concise in messaging, clear on goals, and simple in the ask. While this presents an opportunity to place the knowledge of previous lessons onto a real-life situation, today, Richard will turn the corner to another chapter – your Financial CORE. Learn what your Financial CORE is made of and why you need to assess and reset it, in order to decrease the suffering in your life and others who may be affected by it. Today is your launch pad to strengthen your financial core.

EPISODE 7 – April 22, 2020

If you are going to commit to 10X action and achieving your goals, you will need to fortify the faith that you have in yourself to do it. Building faith in yourself requires intention, and in this week’s TSOM conversation, you will learn how to identify what you know about money, where and when you learned it, and from whom – in order to determine what you have learned about money unintentionally throughout your life. Once you know this, the good news is that you can unlearn the bad stuff, and intentionally choose what is most important to you and your relationship with money. Through your inquiry into yourself, you will assign meaning to the things you choose to intentionally learn, and you can change your financial hardwiring.

EPISODE 8 – April 29, 2020

Your money game can be by default or by design, but one thing that is paramount to modelling your game is to model it after those playing a more professional game than you. To learn however, you need to make room to grow. In this seminar, Richard will take you on a unique journey of Financial Restoration, Reconciliation, and rebuilding yourself into a state of completeness. On the journey this week, you will discover how much baggage you carry in your life, how to let go of the baggage and leave it in history, and the 4 areas of your life that need to be reconciled in order to make room to grow. Only after these tough conversations, can you create a state of completeness and make room to learn new things.

EPISODE 9 – May 6, 2020

The first thing you need to learn this week is that you ALWAYS need to be a student and be curious. If you are always inquiring you are always in action – by design. This week’s conversation is about identifying what your concept of wealth and worth is to you. The only way you can get inspired is by defining this concept for you. The fact is however, that you probably have a concept of wealth and worth that has been automatically downloaded to you through your first impression in life, the stories you’ve heard, and the pictures that you have seen. The goal of this seminar is to work through the exercises Richard puts forth to distinguish what your concept of wealth is by default, and change it to one you created for yourself by design.

EPISODE 10 – May 13, 2020

Have you ever thought about Financial Happiness? Are you familiar with the effects of viewing a situation optimistically or pessimistically? There are both mental and physical responses to each way of thinking. If there is one thing you need to learn this week from Richard, it is that the chemicals your body physically releases have an immediate and direct impact on your mental state. Follow this week’s conversation to learn how to healthily increase the good parts of your brain chemistry, how to re-wire your brain from unhealthy habits, and why physically writing down your goals increases your brain function. That’s not all. Learn a paradox of success and why confidence is greater than ego.

EPISODE 11 – May 20, 2020

Do you have a habit of interchangeably using words and definitions? It is time to stop. Definitions and distinguishing terms and ideas – MATTERS. It matters because if you can’t distinguish where you are or the state in which you exist, it will be impossible to take aim at success. This week, TSOM is about Financial Recalibration so you can take aim, push off, and stretch yourself. It’s a deep lesson this week, so be prepared to learn about the importance of certainty, why commitment to action is more important than keeping score, that confronting fear is tantamount, and that you need to know where your prowess and bravery lives within you.

EPISODE 12 – June 3, 2020

If you aren’t willing to change then you aren’t willing to stretch or to grow, and that means you may struggle to survive. Your financial gameplan now may not work at other times in your life. By committing to take action to change and grow, you will discover much about yourself, your mood, your skills, and your financial happiness. TSOM conversation this week is about the 6 Stages of Learning and what each stage entails. More importantly, realize that it is okay to be wherever it is that you are on the learning curve, and commit to learning more.

EPISODE 13 – June 10, 2020

If you lack context, you are lacking goals. Goals give a context to your relationships with people, with money, and with your actions. It is not about being active to be busy, but to take action towards a goal — which you set because you gave it meaning. Goals create context which creates decisiveness. Take the next step in your money conversation this week by learning how to plan your goals in a pragmatic and logical way. Additionally, grab your pen and paper to work through the 7 Steps to Financial Activation, and why you must Generate Financial Actionability.

EPISODE 14 – June 17, 2020

The way to walk 100km is 1 step at a time, and Richard helps you make these incremental gains in the conversation this week. Sharpen your intuition by aiming to have 1 good conversation a day. Find a financial mentor and emulate 1 quality they exhibit. Imagine starting today for 1 week, you list each day 1 thing that has you stuck and aim to conquer it or reconcile it. The big messages this week involve assessing where you are and knowing that your experience IS NOT who you are or what you are worth. They are just assessments for you and by you. Better yet, once you forgive yourself and identify what has you stuck or scared, you know where you must take your biggest actions. If you are presenting to a crowd, do you have time to be scared about finding the next client?

EPISODE 15 – June 24, 2020

Through conversation, you can express yourself, and through expression you gain access to anything you want. Whether it be ideas, money, a coach, resources, or a skill – you can attain what you need through conversation – which is in fact being in action. This week, Richard will guide you on a path to greater self-expression by helping you take 5 Steps to Recalibrate your financial game to gain clarity on the rules of the money game, and the art of the game (which is where you make the difference!) As with any game, situations change, and goals and actions may need to change too. While change brings about fear, learn this week why defining fear and identifying it will help you design your money game on purpose, instead of being handicapped by it.

EPISODE 16 – July 8, 2020

Thinking of yourself as a superhero forces you to change the narrative that you have about yourself. Superheroes don’t play small, they play big. It forces you to evaluate not only where your prowess lies, but also where your kryptonite is (and the quickest way to create your own kryptonite). On top of that, thinking about yourself as a superhero means making a decision about why you are playing this game – is it for your ego or for yourself? Inside this paradigm, Richard will help you assess why you need to help yourself first before helping others, why fear is a guide to identifying who you may need to work with, and why you need to use your pen and paper to rise above your baseline money game of survival.

EPISODE 17 – July 15, 2020

Everyone has a financial narrative that they tell themselves about money. What is rarely spoken about however, is when we consciously start noticing the narrative - when we are teenagers. If this narrative isn’t examined, then we continue to live by the meaning others have given, instead of the gains we have achieved ourselves. This week, the conversation is about confronting the truth of how you feel in the presence of those with money. It is about exposing the fears you have and the responsibility that you know you must take to reach your potential. It is about examining the lens you see through, and why looking outside yourself for fulfillment is a bad move.

EPISODE 18 – July 22, 2020

TSOM conversation this week is all about the 6 States to Financial Abundance. Richard helps you discover where you are in your money game, and where you need to go next. Learn about climbing the 6 steps and how your behavior changes as you move up to the next level of financial abundance. Some of the crucial things in this week’s conversation are about this, know that your experience and where you are doesn’t make you wrong – it just means you are there, its okay, and now you understand how strong your foundation is to move up to the next level. Get the mental breakthroughs you need inside this very deep coaching conversation.

EPISODE 19 – July 29, 2020

Are you aware of your body and your facial expressions? Did you know that this can affect your ability to raise money or make a sale, and can act as a window into your own relationship with money? This week, think about your facial expressions as Richard guides this conversation on what your body and facial expressions mean, how they project a message into the world, and how powerful they are in attracting what you want in your money game. Are you aware of what your body language is emitting to other people? Are you hiding what you feel or being transparent? Learn what the 8 most common facial expressions are, and discover the significance of being curious, and how to capture what you are emitting to the world.

EPISODE 20 – August 5, 2020

Do you want the cookie now, or do you want to wait 10 minutes and get 3 cookies? This week, our conversation is about delayed gratification. It sounds like a simple concept, but there are some amazing concepts that live inside this conversation that you probably never gave yourself permission to think about or do. Do you think it is about suffering? Its not. Are small wins along the way okay to celebrate? Absolutely. Delayed gratification is not about suffering, it is about making due with what you need, and what you get is not needed as a way to fit in or impress someone else. Learn what delayed gratification is, what the small wins are, and the value to your journey.

EPISODE 21 – August 12, 2020

Getting stuck stinks - but being stuck is not being dead and you need to be committed to shifting your relationship with money, wealth, and worth in order to take bigger action to get unstuck. The conversation this week is about discovering your relationship with being successful or not being successful. It is about owning the victories and the setbacks. It is about amplifying the good and cutting off the bad. Richard analyzes closely 3 massive areas and illuminates how they stop you from achieving your goals, stop you from taking action, and the profound affect they have on the story you tell yourself and your interaction with the world and the people you love.

EPISODE 22 – August 19, 2020

A budget is usually thought of as being the boring bit of the money game, however, this week will change the way you view a budget forever. This week, Richard guides you to spending more time on your budget by giving it more meaning. When you give the budget more meaning it becomes a stronger cornerstone on which to build on, and it highlights the strength of your financial intention. On top of that, Rich will bring forth 2 major battles that people must win to keep meeting your financial goals and be motivated to action.

EPISODE 23 – August 26, 2020

You have a gap and it needs to be filled in order to strive for larger goals. If you don’t think you have a gap, then you aren’t asking enough questions. TSOM conversation this week is about taking inventory of what you got, what you need, and where you want to go. Inside of this conversation, Richard will illuminate for you the gap that exists between your starting point and your goal, and find out what is required and what you are responsible for. To help you do this, bring out your notebook and work through some exercises Richard puts forth about your financial life quotient, your financial life Intentionality, and your financial life response-ability.

EPISODE 24 – September 2, 2020

If you really want the experience of learning — do something unpredictable. An unpredictable task for people to do is to LOOK FOR their financial fears and financial constraints. The majority of people don’t know that this fear is what drives them and their decisions, hence, their default money game. This week however, Richard will show you the better path to discover, define, and diffuse those fears and constraints so nothing holds you back from taking action and playing the money game that YOU DESIGN. Be prepared for a granular look into the bad financial experiences you’ve had to uncover the effects and constraints of financial ptsd.

EPISODE 25 – September 9, 2020

Have you ever wondered if you are making enough money? The Sport of Money conversation this week will highlight 7 insights you can use to determine if you are making enough money and when you might be falling short. Richard will not only highlight these insights but explain their significance to you and your motivation to take action. That’s not all. If you or a client feels they are stuck, it arises out of 3 underlying currents that govern your ability to be decisive, and Richard will help you define these currents with real life examples so you can shift your relationship to them and get unstuck.

EPISODE 26 – September 16, 2020

If you were to build a house, you would need some tools. But if you were just handed the tools without a plan you would have no way of knowing which house to build because you did not have the design. Your financial future is no different. The conversation this week revolves around financial tools – what they are, how to use them, and when you should consider using them. The lesson will lead you by first ensuring you are not stuck and 3 ways to get unstuck. Second, once clear on the design of your financial future from step 1 above, you need to identify what you need to learn. Finally, you are ready to have the conversation about using financial tools.

EPISODE 27 – September 23, 2020

If you want to push forward, you need a rock-solid foundation to push off from. In TSOM today, Richard is teaching you about operating at a higher financial order where your focus is on success and not just looking successful or getting significance from others. The solid foundation you learn to build today is based on 3 major supports and it can be strengthened by resetting what you’ve learned by default with what you choose to create it with today. On top of that, Richard will help you identify financial emotional attachment injuries and how to reconcile them, along with 3 ways to immediately find evidence of new financial gains. Buckle up.

EPISODE 28 – September 30, 2020

In no other conversation like the one here, will you truly learn how much your emotions affect the way that you play your money game. If you feel in the doldrums, this conversation is here to put wind in your sails once again. First, you need to decide what is going to make you move. Second, you need to identify all the things in life that haunt you emotionally. As Richard will discuss, whether you know it or not, emotional scars are the chains that hold you back, and they beget regret and resentment. All these things need to be reconciled so you can recalibrate, regroup, and reactivate your money game, and this conversation will help you do it.

EPISODE 29 – October 7, 2020

It is a big conversation this week and one that has a couple of surprises too. It is about happiness. Does it sound cliché? It is probably because you are missing two key ingredients which Richard will speak about today. Are you happy? It is a question that you will soon learn requires more inquisitiveness. The conversation is based on uncovering the 5 elements of financial happiness and how they affect these parts of your money game: positive emotion, ability to fully engage, and your understanding of what it means to shift your relationship with money, wealth, and worth.

EPISODE 30 – October 14, 2020

Our lives have a lot of struggles. The conversation today is about the internal struggles that people have with money. For instance, a person could be in a certain career that helps to live well, but they are not lit on fire and want to do something that does light them up. To help you discern where you are and where you want to go, Richard has created a structure of 4 domains that need to be evaluated to illuminate what drives you, and in great detail, you must recall and review commitments, promises, and expectations you’ve made to uncover blind spots.

EPISODE 31 – October 21, 2020

When you wag your finger as if it represented everything you stand for, the universe conspires around it said a coach. What do you stand for? Are you living consistently to what you say you stand for? Are you intentional about what you do because you have a clear view of the future you want? In an epic episode of TSOM, be engaged in the conversation Richard leads you in today about your Financial Self image and how it was made. Discover where your image was made and why that version you believe is no longer relevant or enough. Find out why you have an internal struggle between your past, present, and future and the 3 steps to recreate a symbiotic, aligned, future self that pulls you with velocity. No longer will these things be esoteric, they will be revealed plainly so you can take action.

EPISODE 32 – October 28, 2020

If you want to create a strong financial relationship you must do tough stuff. Today, Richard is your Sherpa in a sobering and courageous conversation about DEBT. It is time to get real, get focused, and be clear about what you owe and why you owe it. Did you buy an asset that produces cash flow or expensive bottles of booze? Inside your relationship with money, wealth, and worth, Richard will be exposing all the effects that debt can have on you emotionally, mentally, and physically and how this can suppress your ability to set goals and take massive action. If you are a coach, get ready to write down the signs of evidence that your clients could be in a big struggle and help them regain their courage to be in action.

EPISODE 33 – November 4, 2020

Would you be able to run fast if your foot were in a bear trap? Of course not. You would identify the thing that is making you suffer and perform actions at your absolute best to eliminate or decrease the suffering. Now imagine that same scenario – in your financial life. This week, Richard is expanding on the theme of suffering in your financial life, and how, if left unchecked, it can spill into other parts of your life, and stop you from achieving what you want. In addition, Rich will be teaching the STRIP sequence so you can help yourself and your coaching clients to identify the things, if any, they suffer through and diffuse them so bigger actions can take place.

EPISODE 34 – November 11, 2020

To attain new heights, we have to eliminate what is hindering us or making us afraid to fly. Building on the last 2 weeks of honest detective work in your financial life, this week is about economic hardship and ripping away the power of the pressure it exerts in your financial life. First, Richard will help you define what economic hardship is and how to turn it into a digestible goal to conquer. Second, our commitments in life often feel the consequences of our hardship and you need to learn it is okay to renegotiate the terms so you can fulfill your side of the bargain. Third, you will learn a model to identify and distill for yourself and clients, the economic hardships they may have, and lead them to decisive action.

EPISODE 35 – November 25, 2020

Climate change is real in the financial world, and the good news is that you are the sole catalyst for that change. Today, Richard is going to teach you how to take control of your financial environment and the importance of your proximity to people who play a big money game. Find out the 3 major areas affected by your proximity to others, and why you need to put yourself out in the world among those who play at a higher level than you. Its about people, power, and possibilities.

EPISODE 36 – December 2, 2020

Do you agree or disagree with this statement: money is mischievous! That is where we start today’s lesson on TSOM. The conversation is heavy for many and light for some. Some people have lots of worth but no money, or lots of money but no wealth. The bottom line is that if you don’t take control of your own conversation about money, it will subtly control you instead of you controlling it to grow the things you want in your life. With the mischievous ways of money in mind, today Richard will help you understand what makes up your story and the 4 elements of thrownness, that if left unchecked, will make it difficult for you to control your money game. The more awareness you have of this, the more fully you can accept where you are, set targets, and take action. Richard will walk you through a simple but eloquent exercise to bring forth awareness of where you see yourself in your money game, and where breakthrough truly lives.

EPISODE 37 – December 9, 2020

In a special edition of The Sport of Money, Richard is moving quick and on purpose so you can take on the task of marking this day as one of resetting and relaunching. Richie is going to launch you through 5 very detailed sections where you will learn how to create a detailed plan for your 10X life, the crap that you need to put into a state of completion – and best of all – you will be working through exercises in real time. Why? Because you are committed to Now. Use it. Create your future.

There is no better opportunity than now, after 2020 body slammed you through a table, to reset, restore, recalibrate, and relaunch. The purpose of this conversation is for you to be clear on what you want your 10X life to be, to be the source of creating that life, and to be a walking testimonial of the 10X life you set out to create for yourself. Sharpen your pencil and get your paper ready because you need to work through these exercises to identify your goal, write down what works and isn’t working for you, calculate the number you need to work for, and get clear on your motivations.

On top of these critical exercises, Richard will tell you about 3 10X tools: 10X Intention Creator, 10X Intention Setter, 10x 90-day Life Planner. And finally, find the treasure of what it means to be alive, what it means to chase, and what it means when you have purpose.

EPISODE 39 – December 23, 2020

Today’s conversation is an enlightening one because all the people participating on these calls and putting into action what they have learned are sharing their experiences, testimonials, and heartfelt questions they need answered to get to the next level. Richard is always at the source of creating new and profound ways of coaching you in the sport of money, and guess what? The A6 framework is now A8! In today’s call you will learn about the two new additions. Additionally, take notes on the big themes that emerge as people express what is happening when they are doing their best to live a 10X life. Are you immobilized because you have too much to do? Do you feel like quitting because your actions don’t seem to get you closer to your goals? Are you expressing your goals completely as in saying it, seeing it, seeding it, and stretching it? Listen in, focus, and overcome your fear of jumping off the proverbial diving board.

EPISODE 40 – December 30, 2020

The year 2020 is about to roll over and become a figment of the past, so do not use it as an excuse. We cannot use 2020 or the pandemic as an excuse for not getting certain things done, like accounting for example. This final lesson of 2020 is about reviewing: 1) your word to yourself 2)your word given to others and 3) the word you gave for a certain future you wanted. Richard is going to teach you how to evaluate what you have done in the year, accept the wins and defeats, reconcile the gaps with yourself and others, and bring no baggage forward into 2021. TSOM today, is going to get you hyper-focused on your commitment for your life in 2021, the new agreements you will make with yourself, others, and the future you want. Finally, and together, we are coming to grips with the reality that leadership in the world died in 2020, and if you want something done in 2021 it is because you are going to lead the charge.
