Dan will describe how he overcame extreme fears to do extreme feats, how he found his unique purpose and calling to change the world in a bizarre way you will not expect, and he will help you RETHINK your priorities to do the impossible in your life.
Quote from Dan
“The Impossible is NOT impossible!”
“Don’t focus on the 99% that’s impossible;
Instead focus on the 1% that’s plausible,
and figure out how to make it POSSIBLE!”
