"What Was the Hardest Lesson You Ever Learned?"

Richard enjoys competing in Toastmaster speaking contests. In this impromptu speech, Richard gives a surprising answer to this thought-provoking question. This is the final round of a competition which began in 184 Toastmaster clubs in Oregon. This speech earned Richard second place.

I have had the honor of working with Richard on several projects that require marketing skills and expertise. Richard is a consummate professional. His attention to detail without losing sight of the bigger picture makes him invaluable. I have personally benefited from his marketing insights and can recommend him without reservation.
