Planalife you want to live in through a Business on Purpose. My name is Ian Edwards and I am a professional business and executive coach and a certified behaviour analyst. In 2021, I have been in business for 37 years and coaching now for over 5 years. I love learning what makes people tick and helping them find the inspiration they need to love living life. To encourage means to promote courage and I really enjoy doing that. The purpose of this ”I Decided” series is to inspire people, young and old, that when they have a passion in their hearts they need to pick it up with two hands and run with two feet. To give all you have, to all you do. I am your host for these podcasts and I‘ve had the privilege of meeting some awesome people over my life in business and made friendships with some truly amazing people casually and professionally. The beauty of knowing these people, many for decades, is that I have been able to observe their life over a long time and watched them live their lives in a very authentic and significant way. They are a very humble group of individuals who, when I asked to interview them, were very surprised I would ask but happy to be involved. Their hope along with mine is to inspire others.

In this month's episode, Ian chats with longtime friend, Richard Prosser. Rick started his journey as a Pastry Cook, and within a few years, was elevated to the role of Area Manager - Bakeries for Woolworths in South East Queensland.
Rick was managing 12 stores including Toowoomba, which was the largest bakery for Woolworths on a national scale.
Rick felt a tap on the shoulder to go to Bible College in 1997. He accepted a role as a Youth Pastor in a Baptist Church in Charlestown where he grew and developed in leadership to eventually become the Associate Pastor and moved into the executive leadership of the church which also grew to about 1000 in congregation.
Rick worked on several community boards from 2003 to 2007, and in 2004 started Rush Mentoring: ministry outreach to kids at risk in high schools.
In January 2011, Rick established Kingdom Works, a ministry to community and church and the inspiration behind the Newcastle Prayer Breakfast.
Over the years, in parallel with his role in ministry, Rick has worked with many people and organisations sharing principles in leadership and inspiring volunteers.
In 2013, Rick received the Newcastle Citizen of the Year Award for community services such as City Serve. City Serve is where Community, Church, local business and local Council work together on community-based projects such as repainting surf clubs and local soccer clubs, and community facilities.
Rick's now CEO of Soul Cafe in Newcastle and is also the pastor of Life Church.
