Carlo Pietro Sanfilippo spent the last 25 years working as a financial planner. Like many professionals, he was convinced that the pursuit of the American Dream was the answer to the purpose of life. Feeling unfulfilled he grappled with the weight of unhappiness until life's events forced him to make changes. Carlo set out on a journey of introspection and self-discovery that immediately led to personal, emotional, and spiritual growth. He emerged with a happier life and a story to share with those seeking to live out loud and with purpose but don't know how to begin.
