I have the privilege of interviewing one of the most charismatic guys I’ve met in a long time, Mr. Rique Rivera. Rique is a food & beverage director who’s struggled with weight his entire life. Rique shared with me he even had the nickname of Shamu for a bit Although weight was there, Rique was still an active child and involved in sports. As he got older, a sports injury led to back concerns and the inactivity led to more weight gain. Combine that with creating new menus and dishes for restaurants, and it was a disaster for Rique. Desperate to make something happen yet frustrated beyond belief with lack of results, Rique almost threw his hands up and said screw it. However, something kept drawing him to the ER Shred. Rique says the signs we too great for him not to pay attention and the word “SHRED” kept appearing everywhere. He decided to go ALL IN and 5 shreds later he is a completely new person.
