Colorado Creatives: Daniel Mazur

Daniel Mazur is touchy-feely kind of guy on a mission to unwrap authentic experiences through introspective storytelling. As the co-founder of Soul Stories, Mazur has been proactively supporting that mission since 2013, by gathering people from the community to share a piece of their inner lives.
