Summary
"Life is like a camera. Focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot." Anonymous
I don't know who this quote is from, however it is completely and totally appropriate for today's podcast. My guest shares how to be fully present in the moment despite the constant demand of his celebrity.
How we can be a more compassionate father and that it's never too late to learn how to do new things.
Richard Onis a songwriter and he is the lead guitarist for the American Rock Rock Group, o a r. He was born in Washington dc. He began playing guitar and piano for his local church group growing up, and he even talks about it in this podcast how his aunt, who taught him how to play piano, actually fired him from piano, which actually he was hoping for all along so he could pick up the guitar.
He has had a love of community and music that he has literally carried with him his entire life, and since their first eighth grade talent show, Richard and the Band O.A.R. has toured the world building a huge fan base, leading them to venues such as Madison Square Garden and the Red Rocks while spreading love and building community along the way.
