EV Auto/Battery Industry: Elon Musk - Over the years, Mr. Rydstrom has worked with billionaires and the “rich or informed™” to create solutions and move industries into the main stream.

Likewise we only invite special leaders, creators, and doers to this private club.

 

 

Richard and billionaire Wilbur Ross crafted mortgage and secondary market solutions to the Great Recession.  “AHM has proven that its leader, Wilbur Ross, expressed viable principal reduction modification remedies in his keynote discussion with Chairman Richard Rydstrom at the CMIS Executive Summit in DC (2008). The next step would be to activate the “liquidity creating” portion of the remedy by selling insured pieces, and/or add a reduction or quarantined device that does not result in capital ratio impairment write-offs (www.qbiesam.com).“Back in June 2008, at the DC Leadership Summit, Richard Rydstrom and Wilbur Ross discussed modification solutions with principal reduction and SAM claw back components which also spark the secondary and securitization market (by selling reduction pieces at Xbps over the 10-year treasury (www.CMISfocus.com; AFN Video).

 As new select industries appear, we take action to shape their integration into our society, preserving the power for the people. As Chairman of CCCMIS, we am creating the roadmap and future integration of the Canna Hemp Wellness industry in California.  Cannabis and Hemp are better legalized than supporting the unlawful underground (for many reasons supporting the tax and revenue base, health, safety and society). As you can see by our experiences, showcasing the model of an emerging industry is key.  Therefore, we are now seeking (2022-2023) to build and create the biggest and most prestigious Canna & Hemp Wellness Center in Orange County, California as the flagship model for the rest of California and the country. Consistent with my experiences working for celebrities creating the model used in the wine/vineyard industry, we will seek regional hub-centers coordinating respective member state licensees (dispensaries, lounges, farm grows, beverage manufacturers) in a tour model. https://cccmis.com

More examples of my ‘helping people’ motivation:

1. Donated $1,000,000 to Los Angeles Underprivileged Kids: I co-created an education program for underprivileged kids in Los Angeles, and donated $1,000,000 in financial education. I bootstrapped my NFL contacts to obtain the commitment of the then largest financial stock educator in the U.S.A. I received the NFLPA Lifetime Visionary Award 1998, and in 1999 (Retired Players Los Angles).
2.  J.F. Kennedy Victory Awards/Overcoming Adversity: I was the national committeeman (working directly for Susan Lewis Abrahamson and General Abrahamson) creating the Victory Awards at the J.F. Kennedy Center (DC). The Victory Awards nominates 2 disabled (or impaired) persons from each state, recommended by each Governor, who overcame adversity.  (Honoree Patty Duke (Anna Marie), Ben Vereen (Honoree),  featuring, Ed Asner, Tony Curtis, Elliott Gould, Stacy Keach, Cheryl Ladd, Loretta Lynn, Marlee Matlin, Honorary Chairmen, The President and Mrs. Bush, and The President and Mrs. Reagan. (Photo below: Marlee Matlin, Rich Rydstrom, Tony Curtis)
3. Chairman CMIS, Leading Debate to Save Millions of People from Foreclosure: After my statement to the 110th Congress, I became the Chairman of CMIS, and brought key leaders together including billionaire Wilbur Ross to create solutions to the Great Recession. I led the national solutions debate to save 15,000,000 people from being thrown in the streets during the Great Recession. It only took only three (3)  months to be invited to Congress and give his Statement of Solutions to the 110th Congress. Yes, that’s fast, and it starts at the top.
4. Save the Children (Redd Barna):  I appeared on TV two (2) times with the Prime Minister of Norway and Sweden, to support the agenda to save the underprivileged children of the world.
5. Created CMIS Awards: I created the CMIS Awards to inspire major banking, foreclosure and bankruptcy executives and lawyers around the U.S.A. to temper and seek fairness when dealing with homeowners in default, bankruptcy and foreclosure. Reminding everyone that the Great Recession was not the (sole) borrowers’ fault, but a system in need of refinement. We all need a ‘2nd Chance’ to restart.
6. My First Client -  NFL’s John Matuszak:  My first consulting client was with the biggest man in NFL football, John Matuszak, and my best friend Marvin Smith, for the ‘The Tooz Cruiser’ mountain bike. He made me write the contract on a cigar box at the Reuben E. Lee Restaurant in Newport Beach. Just memories, many moons ago.
7. The Old Days: John Brown Mr. World, Mr. Universe
