Rich’s story is one of grit, community, and an unwavering commitment to building—not just structures, but people and relationships.Rich has a “find a way” attitude. His journey shows that great projects aren’t just about blueprints and budgets; they’re about people, mentorship, and the relationships built along the way.Rich shares the incredible experience of being part of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, where his team rallied with love and community support to transform lives in a matter of days. That same heart for people extends into his deep involvement in the Salem Chamber of Commerce, Greeters, local politics, and countless community projects. For Rich, every project is more than a task to complete—it’s a chance to invest in others, create lasting impact, and build trust that outlives the work itself.In our conversation, Rich opens up about the value of mentorship and how his own mentors helped shape his leadership. He also dives into the importance of routines, habits, and discipline—whether in business, life, or even his Spartan workouts. We talk about family, adventure, and his philosophy that “projects are never burdens” when they’re approached with the right heart. Whether it’s a birthday celebration in Mexico, mentoring young leaders, or simply knowing your numbers in business, Rich’s insights are as practical as they are inspiring.From humble beginnings to leading major projects, Rich reminds us that success comes when you stay committed to relationships, embrace challenges, and keep showing up with passion and purpose.For more information about Rich or to connect for a Starbucks coffee, reach out to him by going to:  https://richduncanconstruction.com#faith #RichDuncanConstruction #mentorship #communityengagement #conversationswithBuddy_ _ _For more stories like this, go to: https://www.youtube.com/@BuddyJamesPuckettIf you or...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/oxFqe0AJP5S7qrhkdAltuVa8mFSqDbYbj8eGzi5h_mM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzMyODkxLzE2NjAw/OTQ2NDAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
