Celebrating 10+ years of #DoTheDaniel
In 2012, I realized my health was heading in a dangerous direction. I was in university and bartended at night to support myself through school. The stress of school, late night shifts and partying with friends from the industry was taking its toll on my physical, mental and emotional health.
