I don’t know who this quote is from, however it is completely and totally appropriate for today’s podcast. My guest shares how to be fully present in the moment despite the constant demand of his celebrity.

How we can be a more compassionate father and that it’s never too late to learn how to do new things.

Richard had a love of community and music that he has literally carried with him his entire life, and since their first eighth grade talent show, Richard and the Band O.A.R. has toured the world building a huge fan base, leading them to venues such as Madison Square Garden and the Red Rocks while spreading love and building community along the way.
