In life you are either an investor or a consumer. You either habitually create or habitually consume. So the real question is: how do you start creating? And once you start, how do you keep going?

Now, you might be asking yourself, “Dan, what’s with all the questions? I thought this was a book, not a test.” Fair enough—but without questions, how can we expect to find answers?

And isn’t that what we all want as leaders? Not just answers, but the right answers. Answers that bless the people around us. Answers that bring peace, resolution, and abundance.

This isn’t just another podcast about success—it’s a journey of self-discovery, intentional living, and building a life you love. Dan shares insights, stories, and strategies designed to help you achieve financial freedom, live with integrity, and make money effortlessly by aligning your work with your faith.
