Rich Paul, the powerhouse CEO of Klutch Sports Group and one of the most influential figures in sports, visited Compton High School recently to share his incredible story and advice with more than 60 students.

Growing up in a tough neighborhood outside Cleveland, Paul spoke about how his early life experiences shaped him into the successful entrepreneur he is today, learning the power of customer service working in his father’s corner store, to having negotiated more than $5 billion in contracts.

He shared powerful advice on resilience, staying true to yourself, and building positive habits:

  • “It’s not where you start, but where you finish.”
  • A positive mindset and strong daily habits are key to long-term success.
  • “Don’t follow the crowd—stay true to yourself, and success will come to you.”
  • "Learn Spanish. Being multilingual boosts your value in the corporate world."
  • “Focus on building something meaningful and creating opportunities for others—it’s not just about money.”

Paul’s inspiring message encouraged students to push beyond their circumstances and work toward a brighter future. His visit was a powerful reminder that with hard work, determination, and the right mindset, the possibilities are endless!
