“I was climbing a mountain in Nepal when I had a realization. I came down from the mountain, cancelled my MBA application and applied for Amani.” - While climbing a mountain in Nepal, Richard realized he needed to trust his gut feeling and do something different. His journey wasn’t easy but eventually he became a changemaker and discovered how to find purpose in his work.
