EP 35- Danny Galvez, Apex, Voice Your Life Media: Plan B is Bulllsh#t!

We all grow at different paces and at different levels. Some of us know what we’re supposed to do when we arrive on this planet and some of us take time ignoring that very “thing” until it becomes blatantly obvious.  We all have a plan while we’re here and there are a few that do not require a “Plan B.”  Danny Galvez is an Emcee/Hype-man for Apex who works with entrepreneurs, CEOs, and investors from all walks of life. He is the Founder of Voice Your Life Media which helps those same business owners and authors create their podcasts and narrate their audiobooks for the world to hear.  Jeff and Danny jump right into the episode wasting no time in catching up, sharing their familiarity, and talking about real things in life, like the thrill of not having a plan B.  Danny shares some insights that brought him from young adulthood, having a large family, the challenges of pursuing a formal education due to financial issues, some of the mentors he had, and some of the lessons he learned while trying to figure out what his “thing” was.  He details out some adventures in Radio and an opportunity to reinvent himself in the Mortgage industry.  Danny talks about marriage, DJing weddings, and working for a greedy boss.  A grand revelation came that drew all lines back to one simple question: “What Do YOU want?”  What You’ll Learn: One question Danny is bold enough to ask Knowing the true value of your worth and where to leverage and outline the true value of what it’s going to cost to make that investment The rigged collegiate system to which Danny was a beneficiary all because he had a Spanish surname Why it’s important to narrate your own audiobook  How Danny started in narrating audiobooks and the genres he auditioned for and landed opportunities 4 Key mentors that have contributed to Danny’s success and how he arrived working with one of the most influential personalities (Ryan Stewman) on Social Media.

We are not perfect as business owners.  We are not perfect as family people. There are quite a few areas we could use some improvement in our lives, but we don’t have to do it by ourselves.”  Danny Galvez    How To Get Involved:  Connect With Danny  Instagram   How to Get Involved: Addicted to Winning connects listeners through stories that prove why mindset matters.
