Life was intended to be lived free. We often start our journeys like everyone else. Learn your manners, go to school, make good grades, listen to your teachers, and don't complain or cause too much noise. When you're finished with school, go to college, get a good job, find a spouse, get married, buy a home, have lots of babies, and live your life like ground hog's day every single day. That may work for most, but for the other 1%, it's a suffocating, and life-draining existence. Some people have come into this world to wander and explore it. Today's guest is one of those people.
Danny Galvez, is Chief Happiness Officer of Break Free Academy, Apex, and Voice Your Life serving as an emcee, hype man, audiobook narrator, voiceover artist, and podcast producer.

Favorite Quote:
"I was told as a child that I'm the oldest, you have responsibility, and you are not to enjoy childhood. You are a leader and you are to fall in line with what's being dictated to you. We were raised Catholic and had very staunch religious and political views and our family dynamics took us to a place where we were very judgmental of people. It was a very heavy mask to wear. I love being free and love seeing people be themselves."
