Daniel grew his first company out of a hotel lobby. He has mastered the art of outsourcing and has since built multiple companies that run on their own. His most recent venture is GetFeatured.Media which gets people featured on targeted podcast shows. Daniel is also the host of the Can I Pick Your Brain? podcast show where he 'picks the brains' of successful entrepreneurs. When he's not spending time with his wife and 4 children he's playing tennis or coaching other people how to 'quit' their business and live the life they want.

Listen as we talk about getting rid of the coffee and firing staff, talking to spiders, is publishing a book really like being pregnant, and hearing NO!

Alan Smithson is known as one of the top 10 people to follow in respect to VR and AR (Virtual & Augmented Reality). There are two reasons why I wanted Alan to be on the show; his story is very compelling and he's been living in the future for a very long time. What he has to share with us about where everything is going both excites me, and freaks me out at the same time! Enjoy this very interesting talk with Alan Smithson...

Jon Vroman inspires others to live life in the front row, and teaches the art of “moment making.” The unique thing is he talks about it from an entirely different perspective, and Jon’s work is transformative and new in this space. He’s an award-winning speaker and #1 best selling author of The Front Row Factor, as well as hosting his own podcast (it all started when Jon founded The Front Row Foundation). I hope you enjoy this conversation with Jon as much as I did…

She’s the Program Director at The Centre of Excellence in Innovation Management at the Schulich School of Business in Toronto, Canada. Lee-Anne specializes in innovation management; not just how we innovate but how we actually integrate it. It’s a real honour to have Lee-Anne on the show for this discussion.

Today I welcome my good friend Jen Hansard to the show. Jen has a business you just might be familiar with called Simple Green Smoothies. It’s a business she built up with another gal, literally from scratch, and it now social media followers in the millions. Jen’s had some real ups and downs in business, but she’s figured out how to stay relevant in a really noisy space and she has an amazing ability to see where the trends are going. She’s a phenomenal business woman, and all around person, and you’re going to love this episode…

Today I have a real treat as I’m interviewing my friend, an allegedly retired serial entrepreneur, Bob Dorf. Bob is the co-author of The Startup Owners Manual and along with Steve Blank, the two have spent nearly two years conceiving, outlining, drafting, rewriting and revising this global bestseller. Bob left a lucrative broadcasting job at the age of 22 because he had a passion to start his own company, which he did seven times over three decades, and he’s invested in, coached or advised over two dozen startups over more than a decade. He travels the world helping startups, incubators, governments and established corporations learn how to effectively deploy Customer Development process through speaking, workshops and intensive hands-on Startup Boot Camps. One thing that I really love about Bob is that he’s no B.S., so I’m really excited to welcome him to the show to share his thoughts on testing concepts and building businesses.
