It's the chaotic times like right now that are the very reason that we were born... to show up for this moment. In this episode, Dan shares the one question that every person has to...

One of the hallmarks of any healthy relationship is trust. But that also includes the relationship with yourself. How many times have you had a career reinvention that you've put on hold because you didn't trust yourself to make the right choice? How many things have you not created in the world because you didn't trust your instinct or vision? Maybe a relationship because you didn't trust your internal picker, so you ran away or sabotaged it even though it was a healthy relationship? What...

One of the biggest conversations happening in Dan's coaching community is about how to feel safe. Safe enough to use your voice and be seen as a leader. Safe enough to leave an unfulfilling corporate job to follow your calling. Safe enough to set boundaries at work and in relationships. Safe enough to ask for your needs. And unfortunately with recent headlines in the United States, safe enough to be able to go to the supermarket or send your kids to school.  The need for safety and security...

It's said that people don't quit jobs... they quit managers.

Brian McAleer is the Senior Vice President of Multi-Platform Strategy at iHeartRadio, a position that didn't exist...

The #1 life reinvention roadblock for many unfulfilled high performers is what Dan likes to call "the burden of the breadwinner." On one hand, you feel a duty to financially provide for and protect the people you love. On the other hand, your soul is crying out to be a whole human being. One with a healthy balance of purposeful work, authentic self expression and love and play. It's a tension of opposites. It can keep you paralyzed in a soul-sucking job, but also lead to burnout, anxiety,...

Dan recently asked his social media followers "What would you do with your career in 2022 if you knew with total certainty that success was assured?" Would you leave your corporate job and start your own business? Would you stay in the stability of a 9-5 but pivot into a new, more fulfilling career? Or would you stay in your current career and simply switch roles? The results were overwhelming in one direction. 45% on Instagram and 50% on LinkedIn said they'd leave corporate and start their...

We've all heard the phrase "Money can't buy happiness." But is it true? When you look at the research on wealth, there's a lot of conflicting data.

This week, Dan shares some interesting new research that reveals the #1 happiness hack of...

Why is that? What Dan sees in his own coaching practice is most people are setting goals that are misaligned from their...

Brian Tracy was where Dan once heard this great fact: an airplane uses 10x more energy to go from 0 to 85 MPH to achieve lift off than it does to maintain 400 MPH at 35,000 feet.

People know what goal they're working towards in their life. But have you ever stopped to consider why you want the things you want? Are your ambitions pulled by a purpose that connects you to something bigger than you or are you pushing to prove yourself to someone else? This week, we're digging deep into this topic with Coach Casey Radumus, where he walked away from a 20 year career playing along some of the biggest names in the music industry and found his purpose as a hypnotherapist and...

Welcome to the fall equinox! There's a real spiritual significance to this season. It's about gratitude for this year's harvest, celebrating the progress you've made this year. It's also about celebrating change. Nature is showing it to you. Why do they do it? It's about letting go of anything that is going to suck up excess energy before winter. But it also clears the deck for something new to be born in spring. What could YOU learn from this time of year for your own life? What can you do...

Over the course of the pandemic, Gallup has been doing an ongoing study tracking American optimism. Back in May, when the vaccine was rolling out, not surprisingly, optimism was through the roof. Just 3 months ago, 85% of Americans said they felt positive about the direction of the pandemic and the way the country was headed. Three months later, and those numbers have fallen through the floor... optimism is now down to 40%. This represents so much of what we talk about on the podcast. People...

Over the last six years of coaching clients around the globe, it's become obvious to Dan that the two places where we carry the most shame, guilt and even judgments are around the topics of money and sex. But what happens when online sex work becomes a huge portion of your income? What does that stir up in YOU? What are the judgements and perceptions that you have? Do us a favor: Put them aside for the next 45 minutes or so. What we're going to uncover this week are so many other layers to...

We've all been there. The moment when you're ready to demand more from life. A more purposeful career, more income, more abundance. And that little critic in the back of your head steps in and whispers "Who do you think you are to want this?" Imposter syndrome is real and it is the #1 factor that prevents people from truly creating their amplified life. However, this week on a special case study episode, Dan talks to Cristi Johnson, one of Dan's success stories! In nine months, she just had...

A study was released that said 50% of Americas are unsure they'll ever recover from the stress of living through the pandemic. We know when our body faces a threat or stress, it goes to a fight to fight response. So many people need a long vacation or even want to quit their job before they go back to the 9-5 work week. It's creating a trend call "the great resignation," where we're seeing the highest number of employees resigning in the last 20 years. If you don't have a strategy to deal...

What is it that keeps us from achieving our goals and what we really want in our lives? Our blind spots.
