In this Rich Reflections session, Rich invites listeners into a mindful, meandering meditation on summer energy, creative momentum, and the beauty of small progress. Recorded outside near a pond, the episode opens with five minutes of breathing before flowing into reflections on gratitude, environments that spark creativity, and how we notice change—whether it’s the speed of setting up a tent or the evolution of lawn chairs. Rich shares personal updates on writing books, making music, and the joy of staying curious. With questions about generational identity, presence, and tasting your food (really tasting it), this episode is a blend of philosophy, humor, and grounded self-awareness. A perfect listen for anyone looking to reset, slow down, and keep showing up. Subscribe to the email newsletter for inspiration, self-development, & updates Questions from this session: 1.
