This is on Danted Life a man's podcast.

0:13.2

I'm your host Kyle Thompson.

0:14.8

Let's get into it.

0:16.2

Richard, after all the times, listening to the show, here you are on the show. Welcome to the show.

0:22.1

In person. In person. I know. Isn't that exciting? Yes. It's thrilling.

0:27.2

Well, I am thrilled to have you on the show today and just to talk about your experience with undaunted life and your experience with Dominion.

0:34.3

But let's just kind of start easy. Let's get your age, your location, and your profession, and then we'll get into the questions from there. Yeah, I'm 61. I'll be 62 in the fall, Columbus, Georgia, and I'm an investment advisor. Okay. So for where you're at in life, I mean, you and I've done a lot of coaching and a lot of different things together. You've talked about, hey, in the fourth quarter of life, but you are one of the most lean forward guys that I think I've met throughout all my time in this Dominion program. And we'll get more into that because, you know, Richard, just be honest, I'll meet guys that are in their 50s and 60s, and it was like they stopped living decades ago. And I'm like, what are you doing?, you've got time left on this planet, but I'm curious for you because I just love that my

1:14.9

audience spans multiple generations from teenagers up to guys that I've gotten, I've gotten

1:19.5

emails from guys in their 80s. So how did you initially find a donned life?

1:24.7

I found it through Jobby Martin. I came across him. I'd never heard of Joby. And then I started looking him up and doing his podcast and listening to sermons. And then I heard about Daily Blade. So I started listening to that. And I'm like, who's this Kyle guy? So I start checking out who Kyle is. And then I found Dominion through that. And so after I dug into that,

1:45.1

then I reached out to you or vice versa. I can't remember how the connection was, but that's how I found Dominion. So you found me on accident through Jobi, but at this point, I guess you can evaluate who you like better, right? I mean, me, are you more of a Kyle guy or more of a Jobbby guy? Because not everybody likes. I'm a Calga. Obviously.

2:01.3

Obviously.

2:15.9

That Jopi Martin fella, he's got a few things going for him. He's got a big staff and he's got that long beard and no hair. But hey, you know what? You can't win every title. Okay. So, okay. So you find Undaunted Life. You got the Daily Blade. so it's kind of a shorter time period because we started the Undana Life podcast in 2017

2:18.2

and the Daily Blade

2:19.8

would have been what beginning of 25, right? And so it's a little bit of a shorter timeline. And then you hear me talk about Dominion. So we open up the applications a couple of times per year. Again, Undaunted.commonion, undaunted. slash Dominion if you want to apply. Apply now. We've

2:35.1

got interviews coming up very, very soon. What was it about the Dominion program? Because honestly,

2:40.1

I'm a little nebulous in how I describe it, because I really need to explain it to you in a one-on-one

2:44.6

fashion for you to really kind of grasp what the opportunity looks like. What was it about the

2:49.6

opportunity that made you want to

2:50.8

apply to begin with? So being in 60, almost two now, I'm in my fourth quarter, and I'm aware

2:57.9

of that. I hope I play overtime, but, you know, odds are, you know, I've got 20 years left,

3:02.6

hopefully. And so I've been in the season of like thinking through that and God's been work
