Summary:

Dan opens this week’s theme: “how does one talk to a billionaire?” Instead of prepping for that billionaire, Dan encourages listeners to treat everyone as a billionaire. In this way, your curiosity and the interest you take in each person you meet opens the door to learn from them. Dan also addresses listeners’ questions and offers encouragement to those who feel stuck in their day-jobs. He discusses how technology and the internet have opened a whole new array of possibilities and shares a story of how he encouraged a restaurant server, who was also a journalist, in her journey. Tune-in to hear good news and find practical support that will get you closer to the work you love.

Title: How can I serve others when I am not smart enough to get into graduate school?

Dan encourages listeners to leverage their creativity, skillsets, and passions to do the work that’ll inspire them. Dan also explains the best way to discern if you’re ready to make that full-time switch to running your own business, responds to listener inquiries, and shares uplifting news around the world.
