"I've used my medium that I have to create a sort of positive message, even speaking at schools on career days and rally's to tell people that nothing is impossible. Once being a 500 lb (226.8 kg) guy who walked with two crutches, to now, this muscular "wrecking-ball" if you will, people on their volition have hit me up numerous times, which kind of made the incentive for making this album called Walk Twice As Hard," says Daze.
