007: Escaping the Conventional Life w Ed Herzog

I first came across Ed Herzog through a powerful article that he had written for the world renown media publication, The Elephant Journal. The article was entitled, '5 Steps: How to Really Make our Life our Own. I strongly resonated with this article andI immediately connected with Ed through social media. Although he resides in Bogata, Columbia and I on the island of Kauai, HI, we were able to connect on a deep level because we share the same mission, freeing people from the chains of want and misery. Ed Herzog is a life and career coach whose mission is to help men create lives of passion, purpose, and fulfillment. Click here to enroll in his free 7-day course MAN ON PURPOSE.
