Facing Your Fears | 027 #UpgradeMe Halloween Special
2026/10/07
The fear worth talking about is not the one in the dark room. It is the one that arrives on a Tuesday afternoon when nothing is wrong at all, the quiet voice telling you that you already peaked and everything from here is downhill.Dana Leong has faced that one twice at full size. Once at nineteen with nothing to lose, living on thirty dollars a week in Harlem after walking away from a working career in San Francisco. Once with everything to lose, taking ten thousand dollars and a plane ticket to Shanghai while every advisor he had told him he was insane. Both times the people he trusted most told him not to do it. One of those times they were right, and this is the first time he has laid out exactly where he got it wrong.In this one: the professor who told him he was the most talented person in the school and that being talented was not a plan. The 60 second business card machine on Broadway and 101st. The potato sandwich. Boys' Harbor and the who's who of Latin pop. Getting in the air on a rope with a stunt company months from folding. Filling in other people's paperwork and winning a United States Musical Ambassador title with it. Two years alone in the mountains of Japan, and the review date he never set.It ends with five moves you can use on an ordinary weekday, and one assignment that takes about ninety seconds.CHAPTERS00:00 The Mask00:22 Dana On Luther Vandross Comedy01:38 The Real Question02:48 Welcome and Thank You for 100K03:19 Nineteen Ninety Nine05:52 The Business Cards08:59 Commodities11:51 The Aerial Turnaround14:06 The Ambassador Audition16:24 Twenty Fifteen20:43 The Mountains23:08 The One I Got Wrong24:20 The Five Moves25:54 The Next Chapter26:48 Your One Thing This WeekTHE FIVE MOVES1.

026 How to Upgrade Your Life LIVE! #UpgradeMe with Dana Leong
2026/09/04
Welcome back to #UpgradeMe. It's a podcast about the never ending self improvement journey, ideas and life hacks to help you level up and the people who make it happen!
Hosted by Dana Leong, a 2x Grammy Winning Musician, a US Music Ambassador and a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader.Episode 026 is the first #UpgradeMe live stream, recorded the day the show crossed 100,000 subscribers.
What does it actually take to grow a show past that number without chasing every new feature that comes out? Dana opens with the milestone, takes a live Q&A, runs a full highlights review and walks through the prompt book of AI tools and tricks he actually uses day to day.
He gets into the health side too: cutting back on alcohol, what sleep tracking apps taught him about recovery time and the mental side of an old touring injury that still shows up as tension.
Going Tim Ferriss style, he shares recent reads including Georges St-Pierre's memoir The Way of the Fight, Robert Wright's Why Buddhism Is True, a Tupac Shakur biography by Jeff Pearlman and Arnold Schwarzenegger's Be Useful, and announces an AI prompt book of his own landing before Christmas.
He reacts to creators including Lucas Popan and Claire Zou, then spends the back half on who influenced him: mentors like bass trombonist David Taylor, educator Justin DiCioccio and YouTube and Google Studios executive Dorian Stone, plus the business, creative and spiritual influences that shaped how he works.
He closes with a discernment lesson: you do not need every new feature to make great work, you just need to know what you actually need.

022 The Art of Productivity #UpgradeMe with Dana Leong
2026/03/07
If you’ve ever said “I just need more time,” this episode is for you.
Dana Leong shares how a weird orchestra dream, a move to Asia, and a market‑entry consultant led him to a three‑block system for his life:
Health as the first priority
Creativity split into creating, editing, practice, and learning
Business development as a weekly non‑negotiable
Along the way he pulls lessons from Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks, Mozart’s morning routine, Bach’s weekly cantata grind, Steve Jobs’ walking meetings, and even Bryan Johnson’s “discipline over motivation” philosophy.
This is a practical conversation about designing your days so you don’t rely on inspiration or vibes to get important work done.
Listen, take notes, and build your own three‑block system.

015 Neuroscience Genius Tan Le #UpgradeMe with Dana Leong
2025/08/01
Whatever your brain looks like, we all have something in common, in that there’s an entire universe inside your head and we’ve barely scratched the surface when it comes to understanding how it all works.
Today’s guest is a full fledge neuroscience genius, a tech mogul and one of the most influential female entrepreneurs of our time. Multiple documentaries, news segments, magazine covers and one of the most viewed TED Talks on earth, all focus on her life’s work and journey as a trained attorney who pivoted to becoming a renowned pioneer in brain science, a young global leader and a true role model.TAN LE has overcome immeasurably challenging childhood as a refugee overcoming unthinkable, treacherous near-death experiences to become, globally recognized, as one of the premiere entrepreneurs in Neuroscience. What I believe makes her incredibly rare is that she has both a remarkably high IQ, accompanied with a warm love and awareness of everyone around her a.k.a. an incredibly high EQ, and that’s why today’s episode is focused on the neuroscience genius, my lovely friend and TAN LE.
