The Youth Empowerment Podcast #YEP

Hey Empowerment Family!

Before going forward I just want to thank everyone of you, everyone of my guests and the people that have helped me get to where I am now. I recently was in NYC where I got to my mentor, idol and aspiration Gary Vaynerchuk. I sit down with Jeff and Matt from Vaynermedia and discuss everything on the skills young entrepreneurs should have, their greatest lessons for youth along with their best piece of advice and so much more! Enjoy!

Share if you enjoyed and it brought value to you:)
Like if liked watching!
Comment if you have any questions!:)

Daniel is the host of the Youth Empowerment Podcast!:)

The Youth Empowerment Podcast is a space where I interview leaders, influencers, champions and inspiring individuals. Listeners of the podcast may learn from these individuals and empower themselves to ascend to their potential.

The reason I started this podcast was because I saw a knowledge gap amongst people my age. The education system was not teaching us the skills necessary to succeed. Skills such as the importance of mental and physical health, the importance of communication, financial literacy, life knowledge and many other topics that won’t be found in the school curriculum.
