Today's episode is really special. I'm doing something that is a first for me. Firsts always require the most courage, and I'm glad you're here to experience it with me, and my guest Danny.  

For over 4 years, I've been mortified to introduce live coaching to the podcast because I didn't want to get it wrong or fail, and guess what?  I've finally done it!  ... and it feels so good!  

Today you'll meet Danny.  Danny is an amazing human with an interesting story you guys. He's gone from violinist to firefighter/paramedic to coach. His story touches on facing mortality after an HIV diagnosis, something we both share, surviving a career-ending injury, and the grief of losing a colleague in the line of duty.

I coach Danny on a few of his struggles: Overcomplicating things, Wasting energy on tasks that don't leverage his gifts, and heis struggle to find motivation. Maybe you can relate to one or all of these struggles?

My hope is that this episode inspires you to reconnect with your own natural gifts and to pursue what brings you that "jingle" of excitement Danny describes.
