Richie Rotten’s Hall of Fame wrestling career

I was told I’d never make it, and I rose anyway.

A Hall of Fame wrestling career taught me that you can’t always control what happens to you, but you can control how you respond. I’ve been counted out, and I chose to get up. That’s what I teach.

Two things I won’t compromise on

01

Rise

For things to change, you have to change.

I show people how to get strong on the inside, where it counts, and how to find the identity they want to move forward in. I tell them the truth they need to hear.

02

Break the Beliefs

People don’t need motivation, they need someone who has lived the message.

I stand against the speakers who fire a room up and give people nothing real to hold onto. My name is Richie Rotten for a reason. I never did it the polished, expected way, and I’m not about to start. I won’t dress up the truth or make excuses for anyone, because the only people who fail are the ones who never try.

I help people get up.

I know what it’s like to be flat on your back, counted out and told you’ll never make it. I rose anyway, and I want every person in the room to know they can too.

Is Richie the right fit?

Who this fits

Leaders whose people are carrying more than they show. Anyone who has been knocked down and is ready to choose who they are next. You want a change that still holds the next time the pressure hits.

Who this does not fit

This is not the right fit if you want a good afternoon that fades, or a speaker who tells your people what they want to hear.
