    Author, Longtime Small Business Owner, Marketing Guru & Exceptional Dreamer Rick Tracell
    Feb 22 2026
    Welcome to a new edition of Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino. On this episode, we talk with author, longtime small business owner, marketing mind, and exceptional dreamer Rick Tracewell. Rick has spent years in that familiar place where you're working hard, staying busy, and still wondering why nothing is truly moving forward. In his short but powerful book, The Uncomfortable Comfort Zone, he explores why “busy” often replaces real progress — and how small, realistic shifts can create meaningful momentum without guilt, pressure, or pretending everything is fine. Rick doesn’t position himself as a guru or psychologist — just someone who has lived this cycle more than once and discovered the value of clarity over hustle. In this honest and insightful conversation, we dive into entrepreneurship, small business challenges, mindset shifts, marketing realities, and the emotional weight of staying comfortable while feeling stuck. If you’re an entrepreneur, creative, small business owner, or anyone questioning whether “busy” equals growth, this episode will resonate deeply.

In this compelling conversation, Rich shares stories from his adventurous youth surfing the beaches of Southern California, Mexico, and Hawaii — and how Hawaii ultimately became the bridge that connected him to a new life in Panama. His journey spans living out of a 1963 VW bus, time in a yoga ashram, sleeping in his brother’s garage, earning a Ph.D. in Human and Organizational Development, building a 20-year career as a licensed professional counselor, and teaching graduate students at Webster University in Kansas City for nearly two decades. Now based in Casco Viejo, Panama, Rich works at the family-owned Casa Sucre Boutique Hotel & Coffeehouse while continuing to write, reflect, and inspire. His story is about reinvention, resilience, travel, spirituality, entrepreneurship, and finding purpose through life’s unexpected turns.
