• Richie first rose to prominence in 1992 with his record-breaking performance on television game show ‘Double-Dare’. Host Marc Summers later likened his efforts in the physical-challenge section to Edmund Hillary scaling Mt Everest. Richie remained a darling of the game-show circuit until his retirement in 1997, when he withdrew from competition to focus on his academic studies. With a Bruce Lee like dedication to the not so ancient arts of business academia, Richie has kick punched his way to black-belt status: Bachelor of Business (Marketing), Master of Business Administration (MBA), RMIT Business Planning Competition Runner Up 2007, and Winner of Melbourne University's Entrepreneurs Challenge 2008.
