Rick has gone on many adventures following the magic that life lures him into. He has learnt leadership from the edges and the trenches and is passionate about how self-awareness can be a super power for modern day leaders. Through tragedies, both in and out of his control, he has come to a place of simplicity focussing on making the world a little better than what he found it.
