Todd CollinsBad Reputation- Episode 13 Dawn & Richie Huffman The King and Queen of Early EducationThis was a really important episode for me. Richie has become a great guide and mentor in my life within spirituality. He does not like to talk about himself so we had Dawn help him with this lol. Richie, as he said is a " 20 Year Overnight Success " with their brand Celebree Learning Centers. There is a ton of entrepreneurial gold here so be sure to give it a listen.
