On this episode of the The Candy Valentino Show, we’re hosting Dan Fleyshman, the youngest founder of a public traded company. 

We talk about his huge entrepreneurial wins like ringing the opening bell, to earth shattering losses like how he lost everything he’d built — Dan is straight shooting, to the point and shares so much value in our episode. 

I asked him how to navigate business in this upcoming economy, and he even opens up about his biggest fear, the phone call that changed his life, and what he would do if he had to start over from ZERO again. 

Dan shares wisdom of success, advice on investing, relationship capital, marketing and personal brands. 

I ask him about THE PHONE CALL. And how this one thing costs him millions of dollars — and he shares with us what he does next (and how this can help you!)

Dan is one of those people who doesn't just say a lot of words. He has a lot of wisdom in few words.

So grab a pen and get ready for this interview with the incredible Dan Fleyshman!
