“I have had the good fortune of knowing Rick Johnson and John Cosgrove for the past eight years. They both possess remarkable talents of insight, understanding, prescient guidance, outstanding support and commitment. Together with their team, they have been invaluable.””
“For me, the core value proposition of AZ Growth Advisors is that they provide expert advice. Seemingly no matter what the issue, Rick, John and their team have been there before—probably several times, then coached a few other entrepreneurs through it. So when it’s your turn, they really can point you in the right direction.””
