More Than A Title: Richard Martin’s Triple Bypass Wake-Up Call
EPISODE 29 • SEASON 7 02:51:51
What happens when the man who mastered business, sales, and leadership realizes… he almost lost the one thing that matters most?
On this episode of More Than A Title, I sit down with Richard Martin—a seasoned marketing and sales executive who’s spent decades building teams, driving millions in revenue, and outperforming targets at the highest level.
We’re talking about a guy who:
Exceeded sales goals consistently
Generated thousands of business units and hundreds of thousands in revenue
Built programs that scaled across teams and markets
But none of that prepared him for this…
A heart murmur.
Multiple blocked arteries.
And a life-changing moment that led to open heart surgery and a triple bypass.
This conversation goes deeper than business.
We get into:
The wake-up call most men ignore
Why success means nothing if your health isn’t right
The reality that “your heart won’t always tell you something is wrong”
How family, pressure, and stress quietly catch up to you
Why men—especially Black men—need to start having real conversations about health
Richard didn’t just survive… he came back with purpose.
Now he’s on a mission—taking this message to places men actually are, from boardrooms to golf courses, making sure nobody else learns the hard way.
This isn’t just a story about business.
This is about legacy, awareness, and what it really means to live
