You don’t have to command a cruise ship (or a boardroom) to lead with purpose. On this episode of The Stacking Benjamins Show, Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug welcome Richard Fain, longtime chairman and former CEO of Royal Caribbean Group, for a conversation that’s not about corporate leadership… but about life leadership.
Richard shares timeless lessons he learned from decades steering one of the world’s most innovative companies—lessons that apply just as powerfully to parenting, coaching your kid’s soccer team, running a PTA fundraiser, or simply trying to create more joy at home. You’ll hear how to dream bigger about your own life, build a culture of kindness and excellence in small groups, and turn the ordinary moments around you into opportunities to “deliver the WOW.”
Of course, this wouldn’t be the basement without a few money detours. The crew also breaks down new 401(k) rules and annuity updates, debates whether tax flexibility beats fancy planning, and celebrates Doug’s birthday with trivia, laughter, and a few movie reviews along the way.
By the end, you’ll walk away inspired to bring a little more vision, creativity, and generosity into every corner of your world. No cruise ship required.
