Podcast 17:33 | Download | Spotify| Stitcher | iTunes
This week, Dan goes back to the basics—because that’s where the breakthroughs often live. This might be the single most important episode you listen to, especially if you feel like you’ve hit a plateau.
He lays out the fundamentals of crafting a compelling offer, why most founders avoid doing it, and how your aversion to rejection might be holding you back from growth.
