The Future Belongs to Those Who Collaborate
Sometimes, I feel guilty that I am not doing enough to make a difference. People constantly remind me of how I affect them, just by showing up in their life. The fact is, life is really about giving and receiving. Giving excellence, without the expectation of receiving anything in return. You do it because you love it. I have been on a quest to use recruiting for good since 2000, the truth is I been trying to sell it as a solution so that others can participate. But I have given up on the idea of the sale, and I just want to belong to a collaborative community. Not a social solution, but a living community.
I launched my own Co+Op, and I am looking to serve 100 people each year who want to achieve extraordinary experiences; people participate to help me raise money for social causes, and I reward them travel and so much more. Using recruiting collaboratively, I will help people who live in Southern California. And along the way, I will continue to find people great jobs, and help companies be successful.
What Does Your Extraordinary Life Look Like?
1) Are you looking to reward you family, friends, or community global travel.
2) Are you looking to travel the world and find your unique voice in the world.
3) Are you looking to transform your life, through health and artistic expression
The fact is any of these scenarios maybe what your life will be like; if you so choose it. I just want to be the guy who used recruiting for good collaboratively to help people achieve whatever greatness they desire.
What are you willing to do live an extraordinary life? Start today.

5 Reasons to Join Co-Op, Do Good, and Travel
“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community… Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.” Cesar Chavez
People often ask me what I love about my life….”I love helping people.” With that said, I have decided to transform my agency into a co-op; so that I can use recruiting to generate proceeds for good and help people enjoy life and make a difference.
A Co-Op is (“coop”) or co-operative (“co-op”), an autonomous association of persons who voluntarily cooperate for their mutual, social, economic, and cultural benefit.
“We are using recruiting for good collaboratively to benefit people who participate and enable us to generate and share proceeds for GOOD.”
5 Reasons to Join Co-Op, Do Good, and Travel
1) Co-Op generates proceeds on your behalf so that you can fund your favorite causes; and to travel the world.
2) You can create your own cause or community project and we will help you fund it.
3) With your help, we inspire people to have fun, participate, and make a difference.
4) We reward global travel for you (family and friends) to see the world.
5) Travel rewards can be paid forward to anyone you like in the world (now you can gift travel for Mothers Day, Birthdays, and Teacher Appreciate Day).

How to Inspire Rockstars? Reward Them
In 1906, a famous Italian engineer, sociologist, economist, political scientist and philosopher, made an important discovery and revelation about the distribution of effort versus result, that forever changed the course of microeconomics; the Pareto Principle (the 80/20 rule).
….Imagine if 20% of the population of every city in America…..and the world was a rockstar in life…….Everyone Would Enjoy Life + Make a Difference.”Those who lead and serve selflessly, inspire others to do the same….are rockstars.” In fact, we are all rockstars, its how we choose to live today, and everyday that dictates how big or small our impact will be.

“As a rock star, I have two instincts, I want to have fun, and I want to change the world. I have a chance to do both.” Bono
In July 2000, I started to think about how I could use recruiting to make life great for others…….It is 2013…….and I have come up with a fun solution….Recruiting Rewards Rockstars Travel……..I am grateful for all the people who have made great efforts to mentor, transform, and inspire me to serve rockstars in life. These include; MDI (a nonprofit organization that empowers men to be leaders in life), TuesdayNights.org founders Justine Lassoff and Melinda Moore, iShopforGood.com Lori Shapiro, Infinite Safari Adventures Alan Feldstein, Memorable Moments Travel Gwiin Correa, Cruises By Dave (Dave Fowlie), mom, dad, sisters, and lastly my inspirational red dragon Robin, who in the last year has taught me more about being a rockstar in life.
Richard, thank you for writing and sharing your autobiography, and living your truth. Losing My Virginity. Last week, I met a man who works for you at Virgin America and he was enamored and grateful to work at Virgin. Someday soon, I hope to make your acquaintance and thank you in person, for making my work happy and life great.

How to Inspire Rockstars? Reward Them. We are fortunate to live in a nation where freedom of speech is an undeniable right. The future of the nation will depend on our ability to develop, inspire, and support caring and serving leaders…….Rockstars in life; these are women, men, and children who exhibit extraordinary abilities to serve others. They live to make life great for their family, friends, and community at large.
If we learned anything about the economic meltdown, the smartest people, from the best schools, forgot to use their hearts to guide their integrity and serve the community with good intentions. Doing good in school is not a determinant that you will make the right choices for the greater good. So we are inspiring people to reward rockstar employees, parents, students, teachers, and volunteers, who will guide future generations for good.
So how do we reward rockstars? By empowering them to live great lives; gifting them with opportunities to experience and express themselves fully. Rockstars will permeate, mentor, and lead others by example. How about reward travel…….
There is no greater sense of urgency and purpose in my life than to inspire and reward rockstars. Inspiration is half the battle, the other is taking a risk and doing things people said could not be done. I transformed my recruiting agency into a co+op to inspire, reward, and serve rockstars; so that they make a difference with their family, friends, and community.
If you would like to reward your rockstars; parents, employees, teachers, students, neighbors, cops, politicians, kids, and granny too; Join Our Social Co+Op Rewarding Rockstars. We reward human friends and happy pets with global travel, shopping retreats, empowering people to create their own adventure or their travel reward program to give back to their community rockstars.
Do you know or want to recognize a rockstar in your life? Reward them, thank them, and acknowledge them. And by doing so you are a rockstar!

Inspiring Rockstars Make Life Great
Inspiring Rockstars Make Life Great. You are a fortunate person when someone in your life cares about making your life great. They are passionate about being on fire…..
Qualities of a rockstar are hard to miss, and great to learn and imitate. We can all learn about being a rockstar, by serving others. Have you seen little kids play in a playground? There is always one or two kids who are always thinking of dynamic ways to make it more fun, and sometimes fun and outrages.
Case in point, I recently went over my sister’s house to celebrate my birthday. My niece is a rockstar, she is a precocious athlete who hit 4 home runs in the boys league, only second to a boy, who hit one more. She also plays 3 musical instruments, and now she is a designer too. She designed a sporty sleeveless jacket (I call it a vest). The craziest thing is she is only 8. Say what? Yes only 8. And she was initially shy about sharing her designs with me, but once I gave her the approval she was looking for; she poured it on. She made my birthday one of the best ever.
Rockstars live today to inspire what is possible tomorrow. My niece is 8 and I am 45, inspired the following….
