Live Ready - Beyond Think & Grow Rich with David Ibarra

Every life is shaped by the way we think, the choices we make, and what we ultimately choose to do with what we have learned.
 
In this special episode of the Lĭve Ready® Podcast, David R. Ibarra shares the inspiration behind his new book, The Power to Think, The Power to Rise — the remarkable stories of four men, told across the four quarters of their lives.
 
The first quarter, you learn. The second quarter, you earn. The third quarter, you multiply. The fourth quarter, you share.
 
Four men. Four journeys. One mission — to show that no matter where you begin, you have the power to rise.
