I’ve built service businesses where trend timing created pricing power. Trendy hairstyles aren’t cheap add-ons—they’re premium outcomes. When you sell relevance and speed, $100+ per client is standard.

I'm Richard Polk Vaughan, head writer at The Daily Credit, where I blend Wall Street expertise with freelance hustle. Crafting investment strategies and advising clients is my game, but I also dive into affiliate marketing and social media strategy. Outside work, you’ll find me on the tennis court or golf course, and I never say no to a good pizza. Balancing work, play, and passion keeps me sharp and ahead of the curve.
