  • Informative, Creative, and Catholic!

    All of these topics are relevant and helpful to anyone striving to live a full life through their vocation. I always leave one of Dan’s episode's feeling liked I consumed a mini college course with the amount of wisdom that is shared. I’m excited to have my husband tune in.
