In this episode, I had the opportunity to speak with an Actor, Author, Speaker and a professional individual that helped me realized the quality of life is simply there for the taking. We not only have the power to make our day dreams a reality but he also has a book out that walks you step by step on how others have done it and how you can do it yourself. Michael J. Lyons was gracious enough to offer his time and take us through some of his life journey and share the wisdom. Being a child actor brought him great joy but then the real world takes over and we have to pick a job that’ll help us “fit” in with the rest of the world, where we daydream almost daily. Michaels book “Set Yourself Free” is an amazing set of lessons that’ll help you bring your daydreams into reality.
