  • Highly Recommend

    A truly refreshing podcast. Daniel is a consummate host… genuine, witty, smart, and wonderfully down to earth, creating the kind of conversations that feel effortless and real. His superstar guests open up about personal stories and experiences that shaped who they are—stories we’d likely never hear anywhere else.

    This show has all the makings of a winner: authentic conversations, fascinating guests, and a host who knows how to bring out the human side of every story.

  • Loved it

    Daniel, I’d love to hear you interview an entrepreneur who’s in the process of applying to Shark Tank—before they know how the story ends. The risks, doubts, and persistence behind building something from scratch would fit this podcast perfectly!”

Q: Can you walk us through the pre-Shark Tank days and how you barely kept the business alive?
