"We can all head that direction (north) and every day you just take one step towards the life you want to live." – Andy Vargo

Today’s featured bestselling bookcaster is father, motivational speaker, life-change coach, and comedian, Andy Vargo. Andy and I had a fun chat about his story from the book, “Win the Wellness W.A.R.: We Are Responsible for All Things Wellness”, the importance of embracing one's unique qualities, and more!

 

Key Things You’ll Learn:

What inspired his story choice for the book

Why it’s okay to embrace and own your quirks and differences

The value of everyday stories and connections in writing

The significance of sharing struggles and lessons learned to help others
