n this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we sit down with Dan Kuss, a Gallup-certified Clifton Strengths coach and facilitator. Dan shares his journey from graphic designer to specializing in coaching managers and teams within corporate environments, particularly in the defense and engineering sectors. He delves into the unique challenges of integrating Gen Z into a multi-generational workforce, emphasizing the critical need for self-awareness and patience on all sides. Dan also outlines his strategic approach to working with companies through long-term, live workshops and private coaching to drive tangible outcomes, and reveals his ambitious goal to 5X his revenue in the coming year.

Dan provides invaluable advice for Gen Z professionals entering the workforce, stressing the importance of understanding their own strengths and behavioral patterns. He explains how the post-COVID landscape has shifted, with companies becoming more selective and requiring clear, measurable results from external partners. The conversation covers the power of referrals and networking for business growth and how creating safe, private coaching environments is key to helping individuals break through limiting beliefs without the fear of judgment they might experience in a group setting.
