“What have the breadcrumbs of my life been telling me this whole time?” That’s Kent State Director of Athletics Randale L. Richmond, who joins ADU’s Tai M. Brown to break down his journey developing a personal value system that informed his professional purpose. By following life’s “breadcrumbs,” Richmond found ways to combine his principles, values and experiences for a single purpose: being a “transformational leader who has a positive impact on people’s lives.” Richmond shares his experience with participating in the NCAA’s Dr. Charles Whitcomb Leadership Institute and how he supports young professionals in their search for their own “why.”
