From his early days volunteering at age 11 to building a 7-figure business and mentoring thousands of young professionals, Daniel Horgan has spent his life proving that relationships drive change. In this inspiring episode of Scholar Scoop, host Steve Loflin sits down with the nationally recognized speaker, author, and social impact strategist to talk about living life by design.
Together, Steve and Dan reflect on their shared history with NSCS, dive into the power of community service, and what it really means to live life by design, not by default. Dan shares practical insights on:
- How to find your passion through curiosity and action (not just theory)
- Why authenticity and vulnerability matter in leadership and job interviews
- How students and recent grads can navigate career choices in a post-pandemic world
- The role of mentorship, community, and intentional connections in personal growth
