About the guest

Richard Martin

I started by first business at the age of 24 in the printing business. After 5 years, I sold that company and went on to create several other companies that I started, built, and sold. I retired in 2003 but became bored and went to work as an independent agent marketing merchant accounts to local businesses in the Conroe, The Woodlands and the Greater Houston area. Most all my sales now come from referrals and networking organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce and independent networking clubs.
