Daniel Steven- Creator and Host
Each guest of Consider This Cafe describes Daniel and their experience so differently one would assume each of them are referring to a different person or to multiple people, when in fact they are all accurately sharing his vastness and his depth. Daniel is an anomaly and his miraculous life story serves as his daily inspiration to use Consider This Cafe as a vehicle to cultivate compassion and an organic human connection for those who are open to exploring and sharing the true value of their humanity.
Widely known as an actor from the popular late 90’s Saturday morning television series, City Guys, and as recording artist, singer, and musician, TheSoulofDaniel, Daniel has many talents and layers which warranted him to create Consider This Cafe as a platform to express the totality of his own creativity. For some, art imitates life. For Daniel, life is art and his life is artistically conveyed and displayed in reality of what Consider This Cafe truly is..
One of Daniel’s greatest gifts is witnessed in his ability to engage with people from all walks of life. Interacting with people is a part of his nature. He doesn’t meet strangers, he meets friends for the first time. Daniel has a bigger than life personality that draws people to him, but it is his ability to relate and connect that makes him the type of person that people want to share with, talk to, and listen to. He says things in a way that helps simplify the complexity of trying to find a way NOT to be transparent. His intensity is respected, his sensibility creates comfort and makes it OK to be honest, and his sense of humor makes him fun to be around.. He has a way with words that is refreshing and uncommon.
As CEO of Five by Seven Entertainment, for Daniel Consider This Cafe is much more than a show, it is the realization of an original franchise constructed and designed to serve as the foundation of Five by Seven Entertainment Network. Here, his business acumen is on full display as he has created a platform in which cafes, businesses, restaurants, investors, sponsors, new talent, and everyday people can all appreciate and benefit.
As the adage goes, “Build it and the people will come.” Daniel has built more than a show, he has created an infrastructure of epic proportions. Consider This Cafe presents so much to consider including a new direction in the way entertainment is created and enjoyed.
Consider This Cafe functions as a Cafe which is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week with four shifts throughout the day that are recorded and each produced as an hour show. Each show has its own identity, theme, title song and format, yet they all maintain the human connective component that makes Consider This Cafe the anomaly that is is . We refer to Consider This Cafe as a show, within a show, within a show, within a show, within a show within a cafe and the nucleus to Five by Seven Entertainment Network where viewers have a place to return to throughout the day to re-calibrate and realign themselves whenever in need to be inspired, uplifted and to get in touch with the reality of their own humanity.

Here they extract their human data, by sharing the wealth of their lives, ideas, and thoughts.The second part of 2DAY finds Daniel in his element of spontaneity, striking up random conversations with random people on the street. Instantly people are introduced to his charisma, and they are drawn into Daniel by his authentic spirit which allows them to express themselves in ways they find healing and refreshing. Some of these very encounters end up back at Consider This Cafe for a more extensive conversation where we find out these strangers from the street have much more to them than meets the eye. This interaction is also a part of T.H.I.S. The Human I See Reality Experiment. When Daniel interacts with a total stranger from the streets, it doesn’t get any realer than that.

T.H.I.S.- The Human I See
The focal point of Consider This Café is represented by the acronym THIS, The Human I See, which is also the philosophy that keeps Daniel grounded in the discipline of the empathetic process that inspired him to create Consider This Cafe. Through this process Daniel is constantly reminded to cognitively and subconsciously re-calibrate, ’The human I see is me’. This recurring theme is creatively integrated in various segments throughout each show as Daniel finds ways to connect to people as he goes about his day. In THIS Reality experiment, Daniel also reveals the challenges and difficulties of maintaining this perspective as he is often met with the enemy within himself and others as the theme of entitlement and dehumanization often arises. When it does, TH.I.S. allows Daniel to take pause and gain perspective of how to maneuver through the obstacle of conflict without exacerbating the scenario. THIS reality experiment is a compelling truth and deeper look into the mind of Daniel. The struggle of processing the introspective war in the presence of the social conflict that accompanies the skin we live in is something to behold. THIS is Consider This Cafe’s docudrama.
Every week Daniel brings his human connective consciousness and infectious energy to the streets. In this featured segment,The Streets R Talkin, Daniel presents a platform for everyday people. It is an outlet and a chance to express personal hurdles in which Daniel lends himself to as he connect and lifts the human spirit. No politics. No agenda. Just Good old fashioned LOVE.

Most business are forced to close operations, not because of the quality or price of what they offer, but because of the lack of exposure.With the Consider This Cafe Cross Promotional Platforms, Daniel is making it his priority to shine the light on the community of entrepreneurs who get up everyday, roll their sleeves up, and take their position at the front of the assembly line of labor.
