Summary

Meet singer/songwriter Daniel Heffington! Daniel's singing and songwriting is a side hustle that Austin Kleon, author of Steal Like an Artist says is life-enhancing in many ways.

In both his professional life (Generation Joshua) and personal life (Daniel Heffington Music), Daniel is aiming to keep play and sensory experiences as a central part of growth and learning.
