What does it look like to learn street smarts and also be book smart? Irvin Daphnis Esq. is an absolute shining light and a leading example of someone Making The Change, day in and day out, by facing his fear and showing us all the way to legacy impact.
As a trial attorney, keynote speaker, and author of the book '100 Days of Real Motivation', Irvin Daphnis Esq. was born in Queens, NY, moved to Haiti as a child, and then back to Miami. Education and faith led him to pursue a degree in religion, which he then followed up with a law degree.

And that's not the only truth Irvin is spitting, as he showcases some of his freestyle skills to Dr. Suarez. The two also wax lyrical about all things Life with a capital letter.
