EP14: Holding On Tight and Healing through Entrepreneurship (Part 2) with Richie BarlowIn the conclusion of this two-part conversation, Richie Daiches Barlow returns to share what happened after he aged out of the UK state care system—abandoned, robbed, and utterly alone. What followed was unlikely, healing, and deeply powerful.Starting with a pair of rescue dogs named Jack and Ernie, Richie found a new purpose—and inadvertently founded one of the UK’s top-rated pet care franchises, The Dog Walker. But this episode is about far more than dog walking. It’s about transformation, trust, and the invisible work of healing from trauma.🐾 In this episode, Richie talks about:How dog walking changed his life—and why it’s “not just a walk in the park”How his past shaped his deep empathy and his commitment to serviceThe trauma-informed principles that guide his leadership todayBuilding systems that protect—not exploit—othersBecoming a volunteer police constable to serve and repair the very system that once failed himThe love and safety he finally found with his husband, Ben🔗 Related Resources & Links📘 Richie’s Book – Richie Who Cares: A Lost Childhood and a Boy’s Journey for Justice🐶 The Dog Walker Franchise – Visit the official site👮‍♂️ UK Volunteer Police Roles – How to become a Special Constable🧠 Trauma-Informed Systems🧰 The RISE Framework – Recognize, Inquire, Support, and EmpowerA trauma-informed response tool designed for caregivers and systems seeking to provide compassionate, individualized support.🧭 TCOM (Transformational Collaborative Outcomes Management) – Learn more at tcomtraining.comA person-centered framework focused on healing, transformation, and shared language across helping systems.🧒 Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) – CDC resource on ACEs💬 Favorite Quote:“I started living when I met Ben—not just surviving, living.”🎧 Catch Up or Revisit📍 Missed Part 1? Listen to S2 EP13: “I Just Wanted It to End” to hear Richie’s childhood story of survival inside the UK care system.If this conversation moved you, please consider:Leaving...
