Danny Vega - A Fat-Fueled Mind | Essential 11 Ep. 125

We've had him on before, but we couldn't resist having him on again to speak with the young men of Apogee. Today, Danny Vega talks to the young men about all things health, mindset, but most importantly, the consequences of not taking action and holding boundaries when you see tyranny taking place. With a family based in Cuba, Danny knows all too well what can happen when the virtue of freedom isn't maintained.

Today's sponsor is Discover Praxis. Right now, listeners of E11 can get a $1,000 scholarship + a free book! Simply follow the link: discoverpraxis.com/essential11
