Ep #75: Whatever It Took: From Humble Beginnings with Head of RRI Coaching, Dana Richard

On the 75th episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I sat down with a man who helped grow RRI to what it is today. Without his support, talents and friendship, I may not have a story to share.

Dana Richard, my longtime friend, business partner and Head of RRI Coaching, is a sounding board for many of the ideas that get developed at RRI. He’s the level-headed, intelligent and quick-acting individual that led to many of our successes.

Our story together began nearly 37 years ago in Peterborough, Ontario where I inspired him to become a real estate professional. He joined the same Century 21 office where I started my career and we became fast friends.

“I tried to always be on that leaderboard with Richard Robbins,” Dana recalls. “Rich was always number 1 in the office. I even bought a house myself just so that I could get enough deals to be on that board. Whatever it took was our motto.”

That’s when a game of rock, paper, scissors changed our lives forever.
