Post Third GRade Education, Does anyone know this speaker, Rick Rigsby? Cojak
I see the name, but he is new to me. Seems and sounds like a motivator, That Doctorate is probably legit!

My dad had to leave school in the 3rd grade to work on the farm. He felt the call to preach and started a program of self education. He was one of the most dedicated Godly men I knew.

There are some great lines in this 'sermon/speech.

I've seen the video on FB but never stopped long enough to listen to it until tonight. Very good!

From his personal FB page, here is the following info about Rick Rigsby:

A powerful voice of reason in a culture of chaos, Dr. Rick Rigsby is a favorite among audiences worldwide. Whether he is motivating financial giants on Wall Street or fifth grade teachers at an elementary school—Rick Rigsby encourages and empowers audience members to become great people who do great things.

Born and reared in the San Francisco Bay Area, Rick graduated from college in 1978 with a degree in communications and a goal to be a network correspondent.

Thanks Carolyn, I did not think to check there. I appreciate it. I can believe he is a minister. I sure like his presentation. He definitely is motivational!

He is new to me, but I sure liked this presentation. Cool

That was great! Thanks for sharing. I posted a thread a few weeks ago about leadership goals for the coming year. It has received one reply (which I appreciated Laughing ). I think every minister.....every Christian needs to listen to something like this on a regular basis. No, he wasn't necessary "preaching", but we need some motivational speeches too.

Thanks again for sharing!

That highlighted portion I can attest to. When I was in business I listened to ZIG and Nightengale on a fairly regular basis. They could hit me with a buzz word or a phrase that stuck with me for weeks, some for life.

But I always felt like they kept the juices flowing as I built. This guy hit me as REAL. I have no doubt his dad's climb was tougher than mine, but I enjoyed the similarities.

The one thing was realizing (EARLY) how much his dad had given him. I was hit with the similarity with my dad who fit the same mold and became a great pastor and a good preacher because he knew WORK and could sympathized with cotton mill workers and did not want to WASTE their time, but wanted to be a blessing. BUT I was much older before I realized how wise my dad was. He also taught himself to read and write.

I have no illusions that this man's dad did not have it harder than my dad. but I was so caught by their early similarities. Cool
