Daniel M. Lewis
About this listen
Ask anyone around town today, they'll tell you, he's the "happy-go-lucky", smiling-in-his-sleep, ambitious entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and retail magician.
With a couple business ventures, a couple awards, and not too shabby on the popular scale, Daniel Lewis has moonwalked across stages while accepting awards, paraded the streets in blue leotards with iced tea samples strapped to his back, and has served up his well-known tea blends to Hollywood celebrities and influencers alike. Coasting through life's everyday adventures, one could easily say Daniel is living the Canadian Dream!
But what would he say?
High school dropout. Gang fights. Drugs. Guns. Charges. Working dead-end jobs, fighting for his life when tragedy suddenly strikes—this was far from a dream. He would say, "I'm just a simple kid with a desire to impact people's lives in a positive way." After being thrown into a whirlwind of unexpected events, his story has now become his message of inspiration and motivation to anyone who has ever felt helpless, hopeless, and given up on their dreams.
This is the account of the life of Daniel M. Lewis.

Success is not born out of skill, school, where we’re from, who we know, or what we scored on the SAT. None of us were born ready. None of us started life knowing how to fly a plane or launch a company or knit a sweater for our dog. But we are born with something more important than skills. We’re born with optimism—the initial seed for success. Optimism fuels the belief that you can be the one to create the good the world needs. But you’ve got to hone it. And practice it. And determine to live from it.
