Summary

Dai Manuel is a keynote speaker, blogger, freelance writer, podcaster, and Crossfit athlete. He proudly embodies being a “super dad” and a husband who never stops “dating his wife.”

At the lowest point in his life, after a late night drinking his woes away, Dai’s wife asked him: "Are you personifying the kind of man you want your daughters to marry?" Her words struck him to the core, and created remarkable shifts in his life for the better. From that point onward, Dai has not touched another drink.

Today, Dai is living his best life. He is 11 years sober and has found clarity and purpose. He quit his oppressive job of 17 years, and now travels the world with his wife and kids. He does his work online now and finds it makes more time for his family as well as his sanity.

Dai’s passion is to engage and challenge people in living healthy, more active lifestyles. With increasing obesity rates and a lack of focus and education on preventive medicine, our country is facing a health epidemic.

“Travelling is a fantastic way to learn new things, experience different cultures and expand our minds.”

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry & narrow-mindedness.” (Mark Twain)
