Beyond The Claim Podcast #019 - Featuring Richard Walsh
In this episode of Beyond The Claim, Vince Perri sits down with Richard Walsh, founder of Sharpen the Spear Coaching and author of Escape the Owner Prison. Richard is a U.S. Marine, former champion boxer, black belt, and world-class steel sculptor who built a successful business, lost everything, and came back even stronger.
Richard shares his raw story of hitting rock bottom, losing over $600,000 in debt, and how his identity was tied to his business. Today, he helps entrepreneurs install the systems, mindset, and profit-first strategies to finally build a business that works without them.
What You'll Learn:
- The mindset shift that helped Richard rebuild
- Why cash flow is not enough to keep you profitable
- How to break free from owner dependency
- The AD Method: Automate, Delegate, Eliminate
- Why "Revenue feeds ego, but profit feeds your family" is the core truth for real entrepreneurs
