He has launched a dozen billion-dollar businesses and hundreds of other companies.His new autobiography, Finding My Virginity, shares the candid details of a lifetime of triumphs and failures and provides an intimate look at his never-ending quest to push boundaries, break rules, and seek new frontiers.I loved our conversation, and we covered a lot, including:Richard's thoughts on "clean meat," block chain, and cryptocurrencyHow he's coped with dyslexia, and how his parents helped make him resilientBehind-the-scenes stories of deal-making, PR stunts, big wins, and big lossesThe habits (and life decisions) he's used to maintain high energy levels for decadesHow Richard masterfully caps/limits downside risk, even though he's perceived as a risk takerHow and why he takes regular 1-2-month (sometimes longer) breaks from alcoholFavorite booksLessons learned from Nelson Mandela and other mentorsAnd much more...Enjoy!This podcast is brought to you by Ascent Protein, the best protein I've ever tried.

Because the product is sourced from Ascent's parent company, Leprino Foods -- the largest producer of mozzarella cheese in the world -- it's entirely free of artificial ingredients and completely bypasses the bleaching process common to most other whey products on the market.If you want cleaner, less processed protein, which I certainly do, go to ascentprotein.com/tim for 20 percent off your entire order.This podcast is also brought to you by WordPress.com, my go-to platform for 24/7-supported, zero downtime blogging, writing online, creating websites -- everything!
