Life, as we all know and have experienced, is extremely unpredictable.  It will throw us curve balls or put up these huge walls in an attempt to slow us down on our journeys.  It can be easy to throw in the proverbial towel and give up. But, since when has anything wonderful come easy?  If you're feeling a sense of despair, hit that play button right now, because this episode with Dan Giancola will renew all hope.  From going through 100+ Free Agent Training Camps to being hit hard with challenges during the pandemic in 2020, Dan has persevered and shares his stories of resilience in a conversation with Josef.
