What Will Be in the Slideshow at Your Funeral? | Richard G. Riccardi

<p>What will be in the slideshow at your funeral?</p><p>Richard G. Riccardi joins me for a conversation about fatherhood, faith, family, work, and what remains when the career eventually ends.</p><p>Richard spent years building businesses and chasing professional goals. Now, as a grandfather looking back, he offers a perspective every father in the thick of raising kids and building a career needs to hear.</p><p>We talk about:</p><p>• Why financial provision can’t replace your presence<br />• The years fathers can easily lose while building a career<br />• Letting your kids fail and learn safely<br />• Showing your children that Dad can be wrong<br />• Making decisions without having perfect information<br />• Why I prefer harmony over “work-life balance”<br />• Generational wealth, saving, and family legacy<br />• Faith and finding real community with other men<br />• Starting small instead of waiting for the perfect time<br />• Why fathers need to shut out the noise and trust themselves</p><p>One of Richard’s questions stayed with me after we finished recording:</p><p>What will be in the slideshow at your funeral?</p><p>Because eventually the titles, accomplishments, and work go away. The people you loved and the life you shared with them remain.</p><p>Connect with Richard G.
