Last summer when I was really going through a tough career transition, lack of confidence, and overall feeling really discouraged, I got to meet up with Rick and catch up on our lives. That was such a core memory for me because it felt like a turning point from all the negativity I was feeling. He really reminded me of my potential and capacity for caring and making things happen, and it was especially meaningful coming from him because I believed it more coming from him. Now seeing all his accomplishments and just how much effort and care he put into everything – it’s reached new heights of meaningfulness for me, knowing someone so prolific saw a similar potential in me. Rick is such a shining example of how to live life well, and I want to live into that example he set. I’m so lucky for all the times we got to talk that ended up being informal mentorship chats. It’s really made a positive difference in my life.
