Are you following rank and staying in line the way they told you, and now you’re frustrated and not sure what’s the next move? Well, I am excited to bring Richard Montanez, former PepsiCo executive, here to share his incredible story of what it means to start with nothing, break ranks, and figure out ways around your limitations along the way. Richard is evidence of someone taking potential and deep conviction and turning it into a massive success. He has been pioneering his way from janitor for Frito-Lay, to a top-level executive, author, and motivational speaker, and it is beyond inspiring. This is why I say action cures all. It doesn’t matter where you start, all that matters is the skills you work hard to acquire and what you do with those skills to forge a life worth living, with meaning and purpose.</p> <p> </p> <p>Order Richard Montanez new book, Flaming Hot: <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0593087461?tag=randohouseinc7986-20"> <span class= "s7">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0593087461?tag=randohouseinc7986-20</span></a></p> <p> </p> <p><span class="s2">SHOW NOTES:</span></p> <p> </p> <p>Pioneer | Why Richard sees himself as a pioneer beginning with picking grapes [1:44]</p> <p>Fun Poor | Using imagination and community to have fun in poor conditions at labor camp [4:19]</p> <p>Janitor | Richard’s excitement and gratitude becoming a janitor at Frito-Lay [6:50]</p> <p>Initiative | Almost fired for no initiative, Richard learns the word and changes hi
