Today, Dan Go shares the details of his incredible journey from high school drop-out who was embarrassed of his body to Canada’s top body coach for entrepreneurs, politicians, and people at the peak of their potential. Jolted into action by the sudden loss of his mother, Dan made it his mission to help others take control of their lives like he did, and through his thoroughly researched, tested and science-based methods, Dan has been able to positively impact thousands of people in-person and over one million followers on social media. Join Dan, Hafiz, and Gilbert for a discussion about embracing life by honoring your body, the joys of doing the work, and holding onto what’s important.
