We asked fellow employees if they had one question for our CEO, what would it be? Therefore, we sat down with George Rivera, CEO extraordinaire from Total Resources International, and managed to have him spill some tea and sprinkle his wisdom by answering a few of those questions. Trust us, it was anything but ordinary…
When do you expect… Wait, let me rephrase that… When can we expect you to retire so we can plan your retirement party?
You can retire from your job, but you can never retire from your work.
Forever exists!
Do you have a hidden talent that no one knows about?
I used to dunk. 10ft – from ground to hoop. Ask Lito, he’s seen me do it.
I remember the good ol’ college days when I could dunk… my cookies in coffee and considered that a reasonable breakfast. Those were the days.
Who is the one person that you learned a lot of things from?
That would be Gordon Johnson. My very first boss. He was a 69 year-old retired army general with half a face and a missing shoulder. He taught me more than any classroom could. In fact, his wisdom was so profound, it’s why I switched from accounting school to learning directly from him.
Throwback to our first bosses – whether they were inspiring or completely chaotic, one thing’s for sure – we’ll never forget those unforgettable characters!
What do you admire or respect from others?
Their willingness to serve God.
When God asks for volunteers, they raise both hands! Their willingness to serve is next level – even the angels are taking notes!
What makes you feel loved?
It’s not about specific things that necessarily make me feel loved, it’s about how people embrace and respect what I believe in.
Let me hear an AMEN!
Of all your Christian t-shirts, which one is your absolute fave?
The one that says, “God calling – accept or decline?”
The connection is strong with that one.
