TMB67 – Richard Blank – Dignity, Depth & Dialogue: Where Soul Shapes Strategy

https://costaricascallcenter.com/

In Episode 67 of The Mental Breakthrough, I sit down with Richard Blank, the founder of Costa Rica’s Call Center, for a wide-ranging and soul-deep conversation that travels far beyond business. Together, we explore the fusion of presence and strategy—how a life shaped by vision quests, foreign language, and pinball machines can teach us about dignity, dialogue, and leadership.
Richard shares how he walked away from expectations in Philadelphia and built something extraordinary in Costa Rica—not just a company, but a culture rooted in sincerity and self-respect. We unpack everything from image streaming to rhetoric, from death and regret to farming, philosophy, and the art of really listening.
The Mental Breakthrough 67 isn’t just about telemarketing or entrepreneurship—it’s about how to live with intentionality, how to speak with integrity, and how to build a life worth remembering. This is conversation as alchemy, and strategy as soulcraft.
