About the Author

Raffaele Galante III is a native of Southern California, raised in the vibrant, working-class port community in Los Angeles, San Pedro. Of Italian and Croatian descent, Raffaele grew up surrounded by a rich mix of language, culture, success and poverty—learning early on, the value of listening, watching, observing both elders, children and nature. His upbringing in churchianity was reverent, limited yet generously inspired community, work ethic and the importance of family. This shaped a foundation to build upon for his life, relationships, values and personal growth. Writing this book is a way to share something he found along the way, through much pain and fortune. A way to connect internally, eternally and for us to explore a divine DNA we all have within us.

His debut book, Taking Your Own Advice, draws on a lifetime of observing the quiet wisdom of everyday people—neighbors, co-workers, and family members young and old, whose insights often transcended their circumstances. As a entrepreneur, father of five wonderful children as well as mentor and a mentee, Raffaele credits much of his ability to connect, lead, and inspire to those early lessons in humility, faith, and perspective. This book is a reflection of the voices, experiences, injuries, setbacks and near death experiences that shaped him, and a guide for anyone ready to reflect, grow, and step into their own wisdom. Despite where your are, Divinity, God, Energy, Flow, what ever you call it…. is always in motion for you. Abundantly ready at attention and even if you do not believe, you practice these gift everyday involuntarily… so might as well embrace it. Tyoa on!
