That work led to the creation of ItsCollege.com, an early online portal connecting non-traditional students to degree pathways.At 18, he began traveling the country speaking to organizations about the role of laughter, play, and human connection in leadership and performance, building Corporate Play International into a national speaking platform.He later created Stop Thinking Now, an early online personal development program delivering structured daily lessons on awareness and presence, featuring contributions from bestselling authors.Across each of these efforts, a consistent pattern has emerged: identifying ideas early, building simple frameworks around them, and helping bring them into broader awareness.That is where the edge isMost meaningful opportunities do not look obvious at the beginning.They look incomplete.
They look unconventional.
They are often dismissed.The work has been recognizing those signals early, understanding what they could become, and staying with them long enough for the rest of the world to catch up.⸻Today, Richard focuses on identifying early signals across biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and energy.He’s drawn to ideas before they’re obvious, and to the process of watching them evolve into something real.He lives in La Jolla with his family and their dog Bailey, and enjoys being a dad, which mostly looks like a mix of sports schedules, conversations, and figuring things out in real time.
