We set off our new season of the IRL Podcast with a live taping of Rich Paul IRL. One of the biggest takeaways is how sometimes you must make sacrifices for the team to win. Everybody wants to win but not everyone is willing to put in the work. Rich Paul brings up not wanting to be in the limelight initially, although this did not necessarily mean he wouldn’t be seen. He brings up growing up in a rough environment and circumstances which lead him to be guarded, although he touches on how letting your guard down and being vulnerable is needed for growth. If you make it about your value and potential, taking a risk is not gambling, instead it’s about not settling for less than you deserve.
