In this episode, I speak to Dan Murray-Serter to reveal his journey which began with a strong desire to make a difference in the world through entrepreneurship. Mental health was not at the forefront of his mind during these early stages. Dan faced the initial hurdles of starting and running businesses with unwavering enthusiasm. At this point, he was yet to fully grasp the significance of mental health in his life and the lives of those around him. Today, Dan Murray-Serter is not only a thriving entrepreneur but also an influential thought leader in the fields of business, mental health, and personal growth. During our conversation, we delved into a wide range of topics including how he got into advertising, what was it like for his mum to hear about the bankruptcy, the first venture he did, the trigger moment of burnout and how to overcome it, the impact of prioritising mental health, and his Screw It Just Do It moment.
Dan Murray-Serter is one of the most exciting entrepreneurs in the UK today.

If you're a Founder, or if you've just got big career ambitions, building your personal brand is becoming less and less optional.

Yes, we really mean the secrets - the stuff people don't talk about but is key to success.

Dan Murray-Serter is a serial entrepreneur. He's the co-founder of Heights, a braincare company. His previous company Grabble was the UK's top fashion app. They had 30,000 new users a day, but the company failed. Dan then suffered from crippling insomnia, but couldn't see that he was mentally unwell. He thought he was just being productive; committed to building his business. Heights was born as a remedy for that insomnia and the debilitating anxiety and panic attacks he experienced. This episode is a fascinating listen for anyone who's interested in mental health and entrepreneurship: how to stay mentally resilient while riding the storm of building a company from the ground up.

Dan Murray-Serter is certainly one of the most interesting, curious and deep thinking entrepreneurs I have ever met. Having failed with a fashion tech startup Grabble, he and his business partner did a lot of soul searching for their next venture and Heights (the coolest supplement brand) was born. Deeply purpose and values led, Heights created an engaged community of extremely loyal followers who are not only consumers of the product, but investors in the company as well. In Episode 38, Dan and I touch on everything from never having enough, consumerism, ageing, neuroplasticity of the brain, being a father, learning from your mistakes, making hard choices, running a business with full transparency and much more.

You want to launch a new product. But how do you decide on exactly what you're going to develop? How do you build a community when you don't have anything to sell them? How do you test demand? These are important questions that Dan Murray-Serter, the usual host of Secret Leaders, will be answering this week. This is the fourth chapter in our semi-regular series with Dan where we put him in the hot seat. If you haven't listened to the previous three it's worth doing that now because you'll understand more about what he talks about in this episode. Dan is a founder himself. His day job is running his VC-backed company Heights. For this episode we are going back to the beginning of Heights. Well, actually, before the beginning, because whilst Heights is now a braincare supplement company, it didn't start out as one. After the failure of their previous company in 2018, Dan and his co-founder Joel decided they wanted to focus on building a consumer goods company in the mental health field. They knew where they were pointing roughly and they were in the rare situation where they had money left over from their previous business, essentially their seed money. But how do you get from there to a product that people love? Listen to find out. Here are all of Dan's episodes so far: Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 We'd love your feedback hello@secretleaders.com Sponsor links: evelyn.com/secretleaders svb.com/uk transparent.biz/SL vanta.com/secretleaders
You wouldn't sign up for a terrible experience but they're a breeding ground for the best stories, and the most personal growth. It's no different for today's guest and the usual host of Secret Leaders, Dan Murray-Serter, who opens up about his biggest traumas… which became the biggest turning points in his life. This is the third chapter in our semi-regular series with Dan. If you haven't listened to the first or second it's worth doing that now because you'll understand the periods he's talking about in this episode. Dan today has become pretty synonymous with the mental health space. His VC backed startup Heights is trying to create a new category of braincare - but he wasn't always like this. In fact, he didn't even think he had mental health issues despite having had a shopping list of problems over the years. When the penny dropped for Dan, it dropped hard. Find out what Dan went through - and what he learnt about how to spend your time on this earth.

In this week's episode of Live Well, Be Well. I speak to Dan Murray-Serter. Dan is an award-winning entrepreneur who has spoken openly about failure, mental health, mental performance and how we can cultivate a positive mindset and nutrition to optimise our brain health. Making sure Dan sets clear boundaries for his productivity and family life are his two key objectives. Dan has suffered with burnout to such an extent that he could not leave his bed for two weeks. And for many of us, we struggle with the ever increasing demands of work, social life and home life which for some can become paralysing. Wealth isn't measured in your wallet. It is measured in your calendar. Because freedom is life's currency and good health is life's power.

Building a successful startup is about lots of things but a tonne of people get the first step wrong - picking the right business to launch. So how do you pick the right one? Well, our host and the Co-Founder of Heights Dan Murray-Serter is in the hot seat today answering that very question. This is the second episode in our semi-regular series with Dan, showing what it's really like to be a Founder, warts and all. The first episode was released on January 18 and we left things at a critical point for Dan and his Co-Founder Joel. Dan wasn't motivated by what his company had pivoted into. They wanted to give the money back to investors. But things didn't go the way they planned… Feedback: hello@secretleaders.com Sponsor links: smithandwilliamson.com/secretleaders klaviyo.com/secretleaders personio.com vanta.com/secretleaders

Cocaine, £1,000 on roulette, sleeping with the client, a boss demanding bail out of a Malaysian prison, a restraining order - and that's just one of the stories in this special episode where we turn the microphone on our host, Dan Murray-Serter. This is the start of a semi-regular series where we interview Dan roughly every three months because: If you listen to the podcast regularly we thought you might want to get to know him better. Who is this guy in your ears every week? Dan is the Founder of braincare startup Heights so we thought we could grill him every 3 months so you can find out what it's really like in the Founder hot seat - warts and all. This episode is focused on the early part of Dan's career - a period when Dan learned how he wanted to lead - from bad bosses. Dan grew up with an entrepreneur of a father - and saw the toll it took on him. It wasn't a life Dan wanted, so what eventually convinced him to take the plunge into entrepreneurship? “Entrepreneurship is a bit of a drug. And the scariest part of it always is and always has been leaving my job to do this full time, that was always the scariest part, because there's no, you know, there was no safety net.” What was Grabble, Dan's previous startup? Why did it fail? How did he get invited to Buckingham Palace? Who did he joke about to make the Queen laugh? And why did Brexit kill Grabble? “I mean, the thing is, it is quite a long story, because sadly, what we should have done is pull the cord. And we didn't do that, we did death by 1,000 paper cuts.” Sponsor links: smithandwilliamson.com/secretleaders netsuite.com/secretleaders linkedin.com/secretleaders vanta.com/secretleaders

"Anxiety is a fixation on thinking about the future, that uncertainty of what might come. That's what entrepreneurship is, you're constantly creating a future that doesn't yet exist." - Dan Murray-SerterEverything we do is controlled by our brain.

My guest this week is Dan Murray-Serter. Dan is a serial entrepreneur, the co-founder of a brain care company called Heights and the host of the UK's number one business podcast, Secret Leaders.Dan's journey actually began from his own struggles with mental health: trying to solve his chronic anxiety and six-month-long insomnia. He tried everything from self-medicating with alcohol, without alcohol, saw a therapist, a doctor but to no avail. But when a friend asked whether he had considered his brain's nutrition as a cause, he decided to see a dietitian. He found out that he didn't have key nutrients needed for his brain and she recommended high quality supplements. His sleep dramatically improved.Dan's life is now focused on how he can improve brain care and he has created the ‘Smart Supplement' to help others on the same journey and teach them about how to feed the brain for it to thrive.

Why do we as entrepreneurs tell ourselves stories to normalise the mental health challenges we are facing? How much of this is influenced by the image of entrepreneurship portrayed by the media, that we adopt unchallenged? How does ego and masculinity play into it? “Your body is giving you an alarm signal that what you're doing to yourself is not good and you need to make sure you're looking after yourself.” As host of Europe's top business podcast and founder of a brain care company, Dan Murray-Serter has long been an advocate for better mental health. He uses his platforms to share a candid account of his own mental health struggles, which have included burnout, chronic anxiety and insomnia. Dan joins Vladi and Nektarios for the final episode of Series 2, where he talks about his mental health journey and how he overcame the challenges he faced. Dan shares that he ignored all the signs his body was sending. He put a lot of effort into pretending that everything was fine, all while struggling under the surface. He tried different avenues of support, before a friend recommended a nutritionist, who recognised that his problem, rather than psychological, was linked to his brain and his plant-based lifestyle. Dan says that making changes to his diet transformed his life: the right nutrition and regular movement are key to good mental health.

In this solo episode, I try and distill the best learnings that I have found from the first 12 guests on the one small change podcast. It's been an incredible experience for me so far and one that I have learned an immense amount from. In this episode, we go through how to set up a podcast and my experiences using a virtual assistant. We cover value-led decision-making and how this creates a great matrix for efficient and well-balanced decisions to the opportunities that present to us in life. This was very apparent from the life-changing decisions that many of our guests had made (Richard Biedul, Ben Alldis, and Paul Brunson in particular) We go through the interesting benefits of CBD on mental health, sleep, and recovery and my experiences with using PureSport CBD oil and balm for the last month. I then do a bit of a deep dive into a current passion topic of mine - the use of Psilocybin on conditions like depression and PTSD. We move on from here onto investments and Paul Brunson's 3 pillar investment strategy which I have found very powerful. And then a deep dive into another major interest of mine at the moment which is NFTs (Non-fungible Tokens). Finally, we finish on the topic of Therapy (thoroughly recommended by Dan Murray Serter, Jim Chapman, and Matt Willis in particular) and my research into finding a therapist with the company Betterhelp.com

Wellness and Brain Potential with Dan Murray-Serter So where did all this stuff about brain potential come from? Well, Dan is an Arsenal fan. He grew up just around the corner from Arsenal's ground and found his love for the team when they were an awesome team. Dan understands awesome. He's now doing something in a similar way for us all. A passion for wellness and the things that can affect the brain positively is driving a new business, hitherto called Dawn, but soon the name will be changed to Heights. This is a fascinating podcast, with Dan Murray-Serter, a fellow podcaster himself - listen here Secret Leaders. Dan loves cats. There was some recent publicity about how cats adopt the personality of their owners. One of Dan's cats, he explains dangerously is similar to his wife - given the choice would just sleep all day and have her stomach rubbed. His cats are Ragamuffins. A fairly rare breed. They are friendly and attention needy. So, yes, his cats he says are similar! Secret Leaders Podcast Dan hosts his Secret Leaders podcast. It started 2.5 years ago. He was lucky as in London he gets to meet some very interesting people. His secret leaders are often entrepreneurs and investors. He'd always asks them about the bad times. He has had leaders and founders from: Moonpig Photobox Just Eat Shazzam Joe Malone Prince Andrew - he went to Buckingham Palace to record the podcast. Amazing place with secret tatty rooms. Dan learns most when they share their most challenging times and what they did. He is himself a talkative person. The podcasts were a place where he learnt questioning skills. Just do it, was the attitude he had when he started. See his You Tube Video on Secret Leaders and setting up a podcast - click the image. or read his LinkedIn post here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-start-record-produce-distribute-grow-podcast-dan-murray-serter/ Dawn Dan's last business was Grabble, an Ecommerce app. It became the number one shopping app, with over 1 million users. Lots of revenue but no profit. He built the company incredibly fast, made some errors. All by the age of 30. When he was still running Grabble, Dan became fascinated with brain potential. It was anchored from a desire to become more productive. How to get more things done in a day. This lead Dan and his partner Joel to explore fasting, and nutrition and supplementation. During this time Dan became aware of the plight of the planet. He became interested in becoming vegan. Joel challenged Dan to become vegan. Dan took up the challenge. Cold Turkey Transfer to Vegan Moving from being a carnivore to vegan was not hard. Chicken, steak was a big loss, but your appetite changes over time. Suddenly he became aware of short term memory concerns. He worried that it was early onset dementia. He didn't know what was going on. He read a book by Patrick Holford - Optimum Nutrition for the Mind It was common. If you cut out fish and eggs, you cut out nutrients your brain needs. He tried fish and eggs again, and he was fine. A diet for the brain Brain potential became an idea for Dan. He looked at mental health too. This lead to a baseline. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Dan-Murray-Serter-1a.mp4 So, whilst he was shutting down Grabble, he took the ideas of the public health model. When you are sick you go to the doctors or hospital. However, when you are well and are looking for marginal improvements in your health, to at least bring things back to a baseline, where do you go? Mental health - if you are below par, you should go to a professional. But the idea for Dawn was a range of supplements for braintenance. Healthy things that contain nutrients to improve and balance your brain. Patrick Holford is now an adviser. A two pills a day multi-vitamin for consumers. With an outer layer of algae oil and inner pill, floating inside. Look cool, good for you,
