Dan Martell’s Perfect Agency Model | EP 35

What it’s about Dan Martell learned to code when he was 16 and in rehab. While cleaning, he found an old computer and a book on Java programming. This, and receiving the first encouraging words of his life from a prison guard, was the beginning of a whole new world for Dan. When he got out, the internet was exploding, and he started his first company at 17. Some of them were failures, but the software agency that he started at 24, sold at a profit for millions when he was 28. Since then Dan has gone on to found more companies, become an angel investor, and help entrepreneurs.  “I want people to judge me for my ideas and the things I create,” says Dan. “ Anytime I’ve had capital, I’ve just re-invested it in other companies.” In this interview, Dan talks about his ‘rags to riches’ story, what motivates him in business (hint: it’s not money), and his vision of a perfect agency model.
