What happens when a CDL-driving, heavy metal frontman from Jersey trades long nights on the road for a mic in a sound booth? In this heartfelt episode of Take Time Out with Tre Mosley, Tre sits down with the incredibly talented voice actor Dan Wright—the voice of Ace Hardware—to talk about resilience, reinvention, and rising through rejection. Dan opens up about his early days behind the wheel, the grind of breaking into voiceover, and how he landed one of the most recognizable brand voices in America. If you're navigating the highs and lows of creative work, this one’s for you.
