  • Daniel is amazing and the podcast exposes me great things!

    First off, if you ever get the chance to have a 1:1 conversation with Daniel - DO IT!

    I use The Conversation Factory podcast as my go to source for finding interesting inspiration. I was exposed to “Coaching From Essence” from Daniel and the podcast. I picked up the book and could not put it down. His chat with Matt LeMay - “A Recipe for Team Agility: One Page, One Hour” was like listening to my people talk!

    Please do yourself a favor, listen to this, and find yourself in growth mode!

  • A life-improver

    Conversations are at the heart of so many of our personal and business relationships, and don’t get nearly enough attention. In this podcast, as in his excellent book, Daniel helps us understand and improve the conversations we have—and, even better, models interesting and productive conversations with his guests. Honored to be a guest, and highly recommend to everyone!
