Richard Muscio presented at The Secret Knock event hosted by best-selling author (Three Feet From Gold) and motivational speaker Greg S. Reid. Among other notable motivational speakers were Mark Anthony Bates, Dave Stanley, and the inimitable Les Brown, with over 200 in attendance.

Richard spoke about how, from his experience with vision loss in 2001, the Move Your Feet Before You Eat Foundation and the Oceanside Turkey Trot came into being, with most recent results of hosting over 8,300 runners and over 12,000 people at the finish line at 2011 Thanksgiving’s event, plus over $90,000 raised for local charities, and we only started in 2006!

The underlying message behind Richard’s presentation was the importance of business leaders becoming active in their local communities. While contributing money to charitable endeavors is indeed important, because business leaders can bring their time, energy, talents, and networks to bear on community causes, they are in a position to change the world and Richard believes that an obligation to do so results.
