Franchise Interviews Meets with Navigator Coach Rick Ibarra-Rivera

We have a great show today.  We are meeting with Navigator Coach Rick Ibarra-Rivera.  Rick’s professional Coaching career began a decade ago in 2005.  Rick's passion is helping others achieve their dreams and making a difference in their lives.  Rick’s Personal Development journey started many years ago with Landmark Education. It was there where he took several courses over the years and began Coaching.  Rick has BA from Santa Clara University and attended Graduate school at A.C.T. (American Conservatory Theater).  He currently lives in Spokane, WA with his wife and two children.  Here are some of the questions we will ask Rick on the show.
