Daniel Dukes’ journey began with frustration at seeing his mum work tirelessly yet never get ahead financially, sparking a lifelong curiosity about how money really works. That curiosity led him beyond traditional education, into the world of financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and eventually network marketing, where he transformed his own life and began helping others do the same.

From being labeled ‘not confident enough’ in football academies and facing personal struggles at university, to building resilience through hardship, Daniel discovered that the real keys to success are curiosity, humility, and education. Today, he runs Empowered Global Network, mentoring young entrepreneurs not just in wealth creation, but in health, leadership, and purpose, helping them unlock freedom in every area of life.

Passionate about teaching what schools never did, Daniel’s mission is to empower people with the mindset and tools to stop working for money, start building assets, and create a business and life rooted in true wealth and fulfillment

“The system is designed to suit a few. And, as I always like to say, as one big club and we're not in it, and it's not people's problem that they don't know. It's not their fault.“

So if you’re ready to challenge the money myths you were raised on, discover the power of curiosity and humility, and learn how financial education can unlock your freedom…

Tune in and let ‘The Wealth Code’ shift the way you see success forever.
