The fear of commitment is a shadow that looms over meaningful relationships, decisions and ultimately: Our successes in life long-term. This shadow strikes hardest when we are closer to fulfilling the true yearning inside our hearts. In fact the greater the resistance, the higher likelihood that it will fulfil your needs, purpose & growth. I've learnt in my relationship: The harder it strikes, the more it truly meets your needs, and that person is deeply in love with you. Here's what you need to know... (It’s all in this episode): The closer we come to breakthrough. To fulfilling our deepest yearnings within. The harder the shadow will strike you. It grips, holds, pulls, pushes and does anything it can subtlety; in an attempt to keep you back. Back from experiencing again what hurt you, what let you down and failed you before. But it also doesn’t allow meaningful relationships to flourish, it limits your success and impact on others. The shadow is pain, evidence and energy of something anchored in the past, preventing a future opening of greater fulfilment & prosperity. I’ve moved through the full spectrum of grief, shame and everything in-between with this shadow. I still work with this fickle bastard to this day. But the best part is you can overcome it, and when you do life opens up in all domains.  You can’t skip the process, what is repressed will return. New level, new devil. The good news is you can overcome this to thrive.

Men are allowed to have wayward emotions. But to what point & for how long until it controls his life? Confidence is when you know how to communicate & emotionally regulate yourself as a man. In relationship, you can do one or two things: 1. React, overthink, overanalyse, disconnect. 2. Regulate, hold space, communicate, connect. There is NO neutrality in intimacy with your woman, or your purpose in the world. You're either connecting or disconnecting. In this episode I vulnerable openly up and explore the landscape with you. I position a common scenario and how to navigate it, without disconnect. To Apply for my Men's Prosperity Mastermind: CLICK HERE NOW

Bad communication ends a lot of good things. Good communication ends a lot of bad things. Good communication is a fundamental skill that can positively impact various aspects of life. In almost 13 years as a full-time entrepeneur working intimately people. With a string of epic highs and crushing lows. As a married man in a healthy relationship. With long trail of relationship troubles, heartbreak & lessons. As a father-to-be, a friend, and mentor to many. Who has always valued the relationship first. As someone living a life by my own design. Living with creative control of my time & energy. I want to share one idea with you that will serve you well across a lifetime, and aid you in your successes & ease across all domains. IDEA: Your Communication & Articulation is The Highest Value Asset. STORY: I’ve been so far out of balance with myself, that I've lived most of my life from childhood with hypervigiliance. Today it is my power, but not so long ago it was my prison. It lead me to an identity crisis, in the midst of heartbreak; without the skills to get me right. I was so highly attuned to the thoughts, emotions, non-verbal communication and energy of others. That I was running my own life outside my own frame, without control. What I did learn from these anxious years of my life, is just HOW important it is to get our communication with others on point. Because I got to deeply understand human behaviour. I could sense what people were going through, I could see into the nature of their thinking, and I did everything I could to assist others (whilst betraying myself) to tend to their thoughts & emotions. This was actually a healthy response to an unsafe inner child. But when it came to being in alignment with my own thoughts, emotions, needs, values and word. I was actually losing personal power. Healing and deeply understanding myself, allowed me to become a fluent communicator, with a greater depth of empathy to understand other people. This is the most important thing to note because all human beings long to be seen and understood on deeper levels. Most of us listen to people to respond, but those who are masters of communication, understand that good communication is actually good listening. I came to learn first hand that: Good Communication Is The Bridge. Between Clarity and Confusion. Clear is kind, unclear is unkind. And Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony - Ghandi

The predicament is that money means so much to all of us, and It’s actually an easier game, than it often feels. Our relationship to money determines the quality of our life (whether we like that or not). In this explorative conversational episode I sit down with wealth coach and owner of StrategiQ advisory Ryan Bultitude. He is a certified practising accountant and registered financial advisor, with a healthy business, partnerships and a property portfolio. Ryan turns up in this episode to go deep with Dan. We explore the in’s and out’s of financial literacy (IQ) and the importance of emotional intelligence in money (EQ). The predicament is that money means so much to all of us. Often we experience so many emotions around money, that it feels easier to sweep our concerns and worry under the rug. We have times where we don’t want to address it. That’s when the E.Q - Emotional Intelligence is so important around money and ultimately ourselves. Just as it was in both of our painful experiences that we go into. If we can have an equilibrium point between the IQ & EQ, where: 1. You feel competent to invest and grow your knowledge, so we can make good decisions. 2. You can work on your own temperament, fear and limitations around money. You can keep it on a level playing field and give yourself the best chance to continue to move forward. When it’s really in check and able to flow, you will prosper. The outcome at the end of the day is a life you love, doing things you love doing, with freedom from money concerns. - TIMESTAMPS - 0:36 Intro & Welcoming 3:40 Ryan’s Background 5:30 What is Money IQ?

HOW to use the Fascinating Science Behind the Pleasure-Pain Cycle, on the Path to Personal Growth and Success. “These pains you feel are messengers, listen to them” - Rumi If you want to avoid being a statistic of those struggling in pain right now. Those who repeat the same frustrating cycles, feeling stuck for years on end. Then don’t watch this. Growth is an uncomfortable process, and pain is a necessary investment for progress.

Alou flew in from Germany, and joins my LIVE for this conversation. He is an international footballer currently playing and signed to giants VFB Stuttgart in Germany. He knows how to lift the roof off of stadiums, and inspire the hearts of many. His rise to success paved the way for many, including his younger brother Garang who is currently playing in the World Cup for Australia. It's said that Charisma is the fragrance of the soul, and he has bucket loads. We dive into all things belief, and the psychology required to pursue what you love and be GREAT at it. It's the first time I've seen him, since we worked together with the team in 2021. We Touch On: Discomfort and Growth Importance of Environment Having a Vision Excuses Discipline Enjoying Yourself My mission is to go beyond the titles, and status and get into the person. Inside the minds of individuals (who are just like you, and I). But demonstrate high value. It's about become higher value yourself.

This episode is loaded with mastery codes from an elite performer with her eyes on the 2024 Olympics in Paris. These codes are relative to everyday life, and improving our own focus. It also marks the first of it's kind for the Drop In, as it returns once again! Tori is a multidimensional thinker that I put to the test with penetrating questions to evoke high value for you guys. In this episode we go deep into the process of focus, performance and critical thinking + strategy. In a world that profits off of our attention, it is our attention and focus that is a powerful currency. I couldn't think of a better guest, that has flown in to be with me in person to drop this. I describe Tori as multidimensional, because the Olympic dream is just the tip of the iceberg. She is a code and blockchain queen. "The future belongs to those who can master media and code" - Naval She will open your mind to a lot more than you may be open to right now. Episode features:  > Mastering 7 Fields of Focus > Journey to the Olympics 2024 Paris > Tori's Painful Story that Built Her as a Grounded Woman > Purpose, Self Awareness and God > Her Project "Peak" > Her Grant with Blockchain Giant Ripple (XRP) > Blockchain & Web3 This is an organic podcast (no adds/ promo) If, and only if this episode brought you value. I would appreciate a rating, review and re-share to social media. Big Love Dan  Please Enjoy!
