#45 Dominic's Amazing 90 Days

Dominic joins Tom and Hardy, to discuss the tremendous impact floating has had 

on him, and his entire life. In a span of about 90 days, Dominic has created 

enough artwork to fill an entire art gallery. He knows this because he has

been invited to show his work at a gallery, and has so much that he will take 

some of the pieces and put them in a book that he is publishing. This is from

someone who, prior to their first float on October 1st, had never completed

a single piece in his life. 

This is probably one of my favorite stories I have heard regarding floating directly

changing a persons life. I feel very honored it happened at The Float Place.
