Have you ever looked in the mirror, truly looking at your face without breaking your own gaze as you ask exactly who the f#ck you are? The truth is not something many people are courageous enough to search for. Very few do the research to discover where they come from. Chances are, your family has been here for generations, but do you know where they come from and who they are? Today, you’re in for a treat, because today’s guest can tell you exactly where he’s from and who he is and what he’s doing to change the course of his family’s legacy.
Richard Fergeson is Co-owner of 2 Insurance agencies, co-founder of Live It Full, host of the Live it Full Podcast, and a serial entrepreneur with a huge focus as a real estate investor in multi-family, residential, and commercial property holdings. He is an engaged father with his four children and a present husband to his wife, Kate.
Pedro and Richard are breaking the conventions most hear in the conversations had by 2 men on today’s episode. They take a primordial plunge into the depths of what it means to be a modern-day man. Richard shares how he did a deep dive into his family history searching for answers to who he was descendant from, only to discover he hailed from Scottish Royalty. In today’s terms, his family lineage would be the equivalent of Instagram Influencers, but quickly learned how they had to fight through being treated like indentured servants once they landed in Virginia. Richard and Pedro discuss fatherhood, homeschooling, private schooling, love, what it takes to be a good husband, coasting through life, and the desire to run through the woods and learn the importance of being able to provide for your family off the grid if necessary. There’s so much golden wisdom in this episode. You’re in for a treat.
