In this episode we go through Dani’s history; his early days in the tech, music, and online pharma industries. We also uncover the story on how he bought Stand Up NY and how frightening that process was. Dani reveals how heavily he was influenced by his NYC roots which sparked his entrepreneurial spirit and how the comedy club is recession proof (people will always need to laugh). Dani talks about owning a comedy club vs. a telecom business and how vastly different they are. Great tips and insight are gold nuggets in this conversation when Dani gets into his business plans, price points, and some upcoming ideas that may soon come to fruition!

Peter Shankman discusses the 4 rules he lives by each day to help him succeed. The 4 rules are some concepts that he shares from his new book, “Faster Than Normal” which is a practical and honest guide that rewrites the script on ADHD. Faster Than Normal is also the name of Peters podcast (the most successful podcast on ADD and ADHD).

Peter started his career at America Online as a Senior News Editor. He helped to found the AOL Newsroom and spearheaded coverage of the Democratic and Republican 1996 conventions. He then started a PR firm called The Geek Factory.

He was the creator of Help a Reporter Out ("HARO"), a service for journalists which was acquired by Vocus, Inc. in 2010 which remained until 2012.

He has been a guest speaker at TedX, South by Southwest, Affiliate Summit, BlogWorld Los Angeles and New York, the Direct Marketing Association.

Jason Feifer the Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine talks about how to be efficient with time how to get everything done. He also gives advice and insight on the best ways to conduct interviews by staying engaged and “floating a theory”. We also jump into his new book, “Mr. Nice Guy” which is a romantic comedy about two people who each week sleep together and then critically review each other's performance in a magazine (which he announces has been picked up for TV!)

Jason also dives a bit into his personal brand and how he figured it out by paying attention to other brands and asking why they are successful. Taking a page from Gary Vaynerchuk’s two main messages (hustle and humble) Jason focuses on “surprise” and “predictability” and franchising his messages on social.

As the modern day EIC of Entrepreneur Magazine, Jason stays relevant and fresh by aligning his personal brand with that of his company. He’s positioned himself as the face and brand persona for Entrepreneur and is leveraging his strengths to continue leveling up!

Jason can be found on his main website (all links below), his podcasts, and through his articles and columns in LinkedIn and Entrepreneur Magazine.
