10. Discovering Yourself through Connection with Daniel Dos Santos

Wherever you go, there you are. We've all heard it, we know the theory, and it's still something life invites us to learn time and again. Daniel Dos Santos is this week's guest on Being All of Us, and he talks about how his story of living in different countries - from his native Brazil to the United States to Portugal to Spain - and the people he met along the way, have helped him appreciate living with fewer things and more connections, immerse himself fully in life, find community wherever he goes and discover more about himself. I hope you discover a bit of yourself in his story! The journey to being all of us begins with you. Come join us!
