  • I Asked My Dad What He Would Do With $770 Million.. The Answer Shocked Me.
    Jan 9 2025
    🎙️ In this episode of The Real Russellville, I had the privilege of sitting down with my dad, Rich Riley, to talk about life, leadership, and lessons that have shaped who we are today. It was full of heartfelt stories and practical advice that I think anyone can connect with. Here are a few gems from our conversation: 1️⃣ Plan Your Life, or Life Will Plan It for You Dad shared how important it is to be intentional about where you want to go in life. Whether you're in high school dreaming about your future career or starting a family, taking the time to create a 5-year plan can make all the difference. It’s simple: if you don’t choose your path, life might choose one that isn’t what you truly want. 2️⃣ Be 1% Better Every Day Life isn’t about being perfect—it’s about progress. Dad’s advice? Whether it’s at work or with your family, just aim to be a better version of yourself tomorrow than you were today. Mistakes? Don’t sweat them. Support, don’t belittle, those around you. “Come on, we’re going to be better versions of ourselves tomorrow,” he says—a mindset we can all take with us. 3️⃣ Treasure the Simple Moments Some of the best memories we have are the little everyday things—funny stories, goofy dance moves, or even a trip to Target with no spending limit (yes, that really happened). These are the moments that stick with us and remind us what life is really about: love, connection, and being there for each other. 💔 Our family has faced challenges this year, like the heartbreaking loss of Brooklyn, my niece. But even in the hardest times, Dad reminds us to lean on each other, honor the love we have, and choose to live in a way that makes a difference. So what’s your plan for the next five years? Or what’s a small step you’ve taken to be 1% better today? Share your thoughts or favorite family stories below—I’d love to hear them! Let’s inspire each other to keep moving forward, one step at a time. 🙌 Thank you so much for watching! now, if you are moving to Russellville, AR- you got to Call!!
