In today’s show of Leader’s Across America, we interview Danny Rice. Danny was with YEAA from 2014-2016. Apart from YEAA, Danny has interned with some iconic organizations like Merrill Lynch and Harley Davidson. Currently, Danny works a as an account executive at P&G.

We start this show with Danny recalling how he got involved with YEAA in the first place. As a teenager, he had little direction about what he wanted to do. But the opportunity to manage all aspects of a business at a young age got him excited to sign up for the student painter internship. 

Additionally, Danny goes on to share how he managed to snag his very first painting job. Here, Danny regales listeners with his “rain dance story” – which reminds us that if we keep on dancing, it WILL rain ultimately. 

Danny also gives us a peek into the unique bond that student painters share with their mentors. Other topics discussed in this segment of the show include imbibing a “No BS (Blame Shift) Attitude” and how to overcome your fear of making mistakes. 

Listeners will learn how Danny managed to notch up $70,000 in revenues in his first year and $200,000 revenues in his second year at YEAA.

His YEAA experience helped him snag prestigious internships with Merrill Lynch and Harley Davidson where he learned the nuances of finances and marketing respectively. This ultimately led to a coveted position at P&G.

Other topics discussed in this show include developing a high-performance work ethic, and the importance of maintaining a positive attitude. 

We hope you enjoy this show!
