Fresh off his European trip, Danny sits down and takes listeners through what can best be described as a mental health journal. He shares some of the challenges and fears he faced while on the road and strategies he used to reset upon return. 

“I think I have a love/hate relationship with the word influencer.” – (Danny), 1:43

As is always the case, Danny gets very transparent with the listeners in a way that is cleansing for him and healthy for all of them. He opens up about rehab and how it unfortunately has been stigmatized as a place you can only go when you’ve hit rock bottom, the need for each of us to put our needs first at certain points along with the incredible healing power of video games. 

“I just enjoy the smaller things in life. I think it’s because I’ve been through so much with anxiety and panic.” – (Danny), 6:03

This episode also touches on health as Danny reveals that one of his goals is to get his under control so that he can live longer and live better. Speaking of life, he reminds us that one day in our lives, every person on this planet will leave this one at some point which is why it’s important to live it to the fullest! ‘Don’t wait, start now’ is his life mantra and he implores listeners to adopt this same approach. Resetting, understanding the power of now and so much more are all here in this powerful episode that you simply can’t afford to miss!
