Daniel MoraDr. Marcelo Vazquez, Ed.D

Recognize the opportunities in front of you and inside of you, and act upon them now! Dr. Vazquez takes his audience on an evocative journey from a young insecure boy who never understood the meaning of the "Now," to an adult who reaches a life-long dream of receiving a doctorate degree.

From intimidation to confidence. From fear to courage. From death to living. And from low self-esteem to self-respect. Vazquez experienced both ends of a spectrum — one that has taught him to recognize and seize opportunities for success by taking positive action.

Señor ChocolateAs a first-generation Bolivian-American from humble beginnings to graduate of the University of Southern California with a Doctorate in Educational Leadership, Vazquez challenges his audience to take what already exists inside of them and cultivate it towards helping them accomplish their dreams. Seizing the day, committing to who you are and spending every "dollar" of your time in the success you were destined to have.
