Richmond Dinh: Lost $1,000,000… Then Spent His Last $50K on Tony Robbins | DSH #1661

Richmond Dinh: Lost $1,000,000… Then Spent His Last $50K on Tony Robbins | DSH #1661
Richmond was the “golden child” — Asian immigrant parents, top of the class, professional degree, 12-property portfolio before 30. Then he lost over $1M in the Australian property market. Negative cash flow. Seven days a week just to make repayments. One wrong bet on high-risk mining towns and his net worth collapsed. With $50K left before bankruptcy, he did the one thing most people would never do: He didn’t buy a car. He didn’t gamble. He didn’t splurge. He spent every last dollar on personal development — Tony Robbins, mentors, coaching, inner work. That decision became the catalyst for a complete rebuild. What You’ll Learn From This Episode 💰 Why “if money doesn’t have a purpose, there’s no purpose for money” – and how that mindset shift changes how you earn and spend 🧠 How losing over $1M in property pushed Richmond into personal development instead of bankruptcy 📉 The hidden risk in degrees like optometry, law, dentistry & why universities ignore supply vs. demand 🧾 Why real estate isn’t always the smartest play – and why he chose skills over more properties 🚀 The Tiny Challenge framework: 5 days, 1:1, no tech, no webinar, and a clear path to your first dollar online 🎯 How to sell outcomes, not hours, so your income isn’t capped by your calendar 👥 The power of being the least successful person in your top 5 and how to find rooms that stretch you 🤖 How AI is replacing traditional roles (paralegals, dentists, optometrists, truckers) and why personal brand is the new job security 🕶 The “shadow seat” model he used to get paid to learn from an 8–9 figure operator like Andy Elliott 🔥 Why the “shortcut mindset” destroys long-term wealth, and why “the shortest way is the right way — just do it the right way” Chapters 00:00 – The real purpose of money & why shortcuts cost him 01:56 – From optometrist to overloaded, over-degreed, and underpaid 03:23 – Losing $1M on mining town properties & staring down bankruptcy 04:43 – Spending his last $50K on Tony Robbins and personal mentors 06:54 – Why he loves failure and constantly seeks new challenges 10:51 – AI, disappearing jobs & why personal branding is the new safety net 14:26 – Meeting Russell Brunson & the birth of the “tiny challenge” framework 19:13 – How chasing money without purpose destroyed his first portfolio 24:23 – $30K group coaching, shadow seats & getting paid to learn from giants 44:49 – “Who, not how” and why you must be the poorest person in your top 5 🎙️ APPLY OR CONNECT 👉 Apply to be on the podcast: https://www.digitalsocialhour.com/application 📩 Business inquiries / sponsors: [email protected] 👤 GUEST: ♟️Richmond Dinh - https://www.instagram.com/richmonddinh/ https://www.facebook.com/coachrichmonddinh/ 💼 SPONSOR 🥗 Fuel your health with Viome: https://buy.viome.com/SEAN Use code “Sean” at checkout for a discount! 🎧 LISTEN ON 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/digital-social-hour/id1676846015 🎵 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Jn7LXarRlI8Hc0GtTn759 📸 Sean Kelly Instagram: @seanmikekelly ⚠️ DISCLAIMER The views and opinions expressed by guests on Digital Social Hour are solely those of the individuals appearing on the podcast and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the host, Sean Kelly, or the Digital Social Hour team.

Addicted To Future Plans, Missing The Present: Brad Tate’s Wake-Up Call For Men | DSH #1679
UFC cutman Brad Tate has seen everything: world-class knockouts, brutal cuts, celebrities cageside… and silent breakdowns no one talks about. In this episode, Brad goes way beyond fight stories. He opens up about men’s mental health, childhood trauma, therapy, depression, and the pressure to always be “the strong one.” He breaks down why living in the present moment matters more than any future plan, how Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning changed the way he thinks about suffering, and why optimism can actually break you if you attach it to the wrong things.
