Rich Robledo is a Las Vegas enigma. He’s the high-end real estate mogul known for his exclusive Cigars & Conversation networking group, yet he’s completely transparent about the darkness he survived when the market crashed in 2008.In this episode of The Hey BigHead, we go deep on the contrast that defines his success:

– The Difference Between Broke and Poor: Rich shares the hard-fought lesson that helped him bounce back after losing everything, famously saying, “Broke is a temporary condition; poor is a mindset.”

– The Rules of Real Networking: We dive into the controversial, yet highly effective, rules of “Cigars & Conversation” – including why he shuts down photographers and why his primary rule is: “Don’t be a d*ck.” Learn why this high-integrity approach is the only way to succeed in Vegas.

– Rich reveals why he intentionally shed his attachment to materialism during the crash and how he still lives a “blissful” life by design – and why he believes getting older is the biggest gift.

Rich Robledo is the Founder of The Robledo Group and Cigars & Conversation.
