#29 – Thomas Bahler (Part 1)

Thomas Bahler is a truly incredible musician who has worked with the likes of; Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Tina Turner and Stevie Wonder. He is also an author, speaker and mentor. One of his many gifts is his ability to help the frustrated masses discover what makes their heart sing and inspire them to bring it to fruition so they can reach their highest potential and live a fulfilling life.
