Believing there is no such thing as perfection and there is no secret formula to greatness, Rico Suarez, a Latin-American, is indeed a definition of the combinations of unfailing hope, self-determination, and self-motivation.

With a significant change in career from wanting to be a medical doctor, a desirable ambition peculiar to most people, Rico Suarez’ course of life shows that our life preferences are not as pertinent as our continual quest towards self-discovery. Hence, following his self-discovery, Rico Suarez can now be referred to as a successful Actor, Model, Influencer, Producer, Writer, Author, Activist, Serial Entrepreneur, Investor, etc.

Rico Suarez has chosen to fail to know what giving up means. His thoughts about all he has sacrificed, including stability, privacy, friendships, relationships, family, his career in medicine, are his inspirations.

Born into a chaotic house of unrest, Rico’s goal, deeply seated in the acronym of his name meaning, Rich In Caring for Others, refuses to change. The young and charming man has committed himself to help the less-privileged. He has visited areas like Ecuador, Peru, and Nicaragua, assisting rural communities in gaining access to primary health care, sanitation, and building schools.

For Rico Suarez, impossibilities are a limitless or temporal limitation. Having faced a series of challenges like starvation, maxing out all credit cards, having negative balances in bank accounts, living and sleeping inside a car abode, etc. as well as disappointment from auditions with the hopes of getting something that would help him pay for at least one month of rent, Rico Suarez remains unyielding to his circumstances. He holds on to giving up his bachelor’s degree in pre-med, his girlfriend, family, and peers in the pursuit of his entertainment ambition.

Rico has collaborated with brands such as JC Penney, Target, Forever 21, and Adidas. He has also featured in BITMAP Magazine, Naluda Magazine, Medium’s Authority Magazine, In Touch Weekly, Afterbuzz, Sports Byline, and ABQ Journal. Rico has also appeared in major commercials, such as the SuperBowl LIV BayCare Commercial.

Even as a multi-talented figure in Hollywood, a brilliant actor, model, producer, author, businessman, and internet personality, Rico Suarez, who was a victim of anorexia, is still desirous of empowering, inspiring, and entertaining people. As a result, he uses his social media influencer status to educate his followers on bettering themselves mentally, physically, and spiritually. Yet more, he merchandises stuff that reflects activism, health, and fitness.

Still wanting to do so much, he blogs [ricosuarez.com] and gives tips on everything needed for success, including ideas for small businesses, personal budgeting basics, spirituality & growth, personal development, affirmation, activism, science, and a whole lot more. Rico also sells a wide variety of products in his store [ricogoods.com].
