From The Streets to Healer ft. Richard T...

Joseph Shalaby
About this episode

In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, Joe sits down with Richard Taite—an entrepreneur who went from addiction and homelessness to building some of the most respected luxury rehab centers in the country.

Richard is the founder of Cliffside Malibu, Carrara Treatment Wellness & Spa, and 1 Method. But his real story is about turning pain into purpose—and using business as a platform for healing.

We talk recovery, discipline, why most people never actually change, and what it takes to build a business that saves lives while still being profitable.

If you’ve ever struggled with control, success, or staying grounded when life hits hard—this one’s worth your time.

Top producers at E Mortgage Capital are earning more per deal—with faster closings, better tech, and no junk fees.
