The Punk Rocker Who Wrote the Bestseller
Richie Norton, a 2004 Brigham Young University–Hawaii International Business Management graduate from San Diego, turned a punk rock past and a vision bigger than himself into a global career as a bestselling author, entrepreneur, teacher, and keynote speaker. Along the way, he built a loving family rooted in faith and discovered through profound grief that the most important work is the work we start today. Now reaching millions across the globe, Norton has never stopped influencing the world for good.
