Being Homeless Yet Motivated:

Richard states:

“When I was in secondary school I was dealing with a lot, my parents where not in good terms, I was sleeping on the floor, my father was not working.

I felt like I was alone.

If someone came in to speak to me, it would have made the difference.

I want to give the younger generation what I never have.

This is my way of serving. I have people crying after my school experiences, they can relate to my story.

There are so many people out there suffering in silence, they just need to know that they are not alone.”

Beginnings:

Hungry for success since the age of 15,  Richard explains:

“I have always wanted to interview inspirational people and people always came to me for advice, the name Herewithrichard was formed at a business convention. “

Below you will find Richard doing just that; as he interviews Akon

Upon creating his company HereWithRichard, a project within the brand- ‘The Greatness School Tours’ program has exponentially taken off.

Gaining support from large figures such as : Stormzy, Rashide (Founder Of LinkUpTv), and Worth Of Mouth!

The Future:

Still young, Richard is already thinking of taking national and global moves:

“I believe that I am the best motivational speaker in my generation , no one is as passionate as I am.

I want to be remembered as the guy who took action on his dream. 

He did not let his insecurities cage him, he decided to be a light, he made conscious decision.

Most importantly he reflected Gods greatness by encouraging others to take action on their dreams”

Believing in yourself is not easy and obstacles are no stranger to the inspirational figure.

A lack of discipline and self control in certain time frames of his life, caused set backs which slowed him down.

Richard explains:

In those moments I forget my power and my purpose, but then I pray to God and try my best to start r repeating my good habits and I find my self in an even better opportunity.
