Hello, everyone! Welcome back to CEO Secrets. I am thrilled to have our guest on the show and I am so honored to be interviewing him today. Please welcome, Rick Cunningham.
Rick Cunningham was a licensed Landscape Architect before he got into the real estate world. Although he was getting clients for his business, he felt that he was not on the right path.
