On this special episode of Stick Like Glue Radio, I interview entrepreneur, nurse, author, and veteran, Rick Martinez – creator of the Bink Moment! Among other things, you’ll learn about ‘purpose hacking’ and how it can help you. Don’t miss this important show!
Main Questions Asked:

- Give us a background of when you were in the service and your entrepreneurial journey.
- How did the whole ‘Bink’ movement come to be?
- What does the next 3-5 years look like for you?
Key Lessons Learned:
Entrepreneurs
- As an entrepreneur and business owner, it’s important to come up with your own language and have your own phrases.
- A lot of entrepreneurs recognize a need for starting a business after having had a bad experience and think ‘I could do this better.’
- Get up and decide to run the day and not let the day run you.
Starting & Selling His Business
- Rick intuitively noticed some chinks in the armor of placing staff and started his own company to provide a better service.
- The company he started grew to 600 employees.
- The operations of the company had to be handed over during Rick’s tour of duty.
- It was during his time away from the company that he realized the company could operate without him, and he sold the business.
- After selling, Rick found it very lonely. He had access to resources he never dreamt of but was lost and didn’t know what to do next.
Rick’s Bink Moment
- A ‘bink’ moment opens the door to what is next in your life.
- In 2012, Rick was in a weightlifting competition, and 225lbs crushed his right leg.
- He realized something was wrong and made the choice to think ‘what does this mean?’ rather than ‘why me?’
- For certain moments in life the word ‘epiphany’ or ah-ha moment doesn’t work. This was his ‘bink’ moment.
- Sometimes it takes a serious shaking up to take stock of what is going on.
Purpose Hacking
- Rick’s ‘bink’ moment led him to try and find meaning quicker. He also coined the term ‘purpose hacking.’
- We all go through things so we can help and teach others.
- It’s what you do with the lessons you learn that lead to ‘bink’ moments.
