Erik: How are your personal priorities changing as you get older?
Richard: I don't wanna be a lonely, rich guy, right. So, it's incredibly important to me
that along with being a successful business person, I'm also investing time and effort
in becoming a successful human being and that's really hard because it's quite subjective,
as well. But I think it's incredibly important to develop and to learn and, you know, expose
yourself to some of life along the way and not just be focused on business and the problems
and so on. So, I guess as I get older, I've started to recognize that there definitely
needs to be balance and that the only person that can control that is me. So, I'm trying
to bring more and more of that in to my life, seeing -- making sure I don't forget to see
my friends, to be in relationships, to go to the movies, you know, not on the plane
and to continue exploring the things that are important to the personal side and the
human side of me not just the professional side of me. Not just to talk about work all
the time and, you know, that sort of thing. So, yeah, I would hate to get to the end of
this journey and have alienated all my friends and have loads of money and no one to enjoy
it with. I think that to be -- to truly be a success, I think you need to figure a bunch
of different things out. And I would hate to just be a successful business person and
not be a successful well-rounded individual as well.
