I first heard Danny on his podcast (The Danny Miranda Podcast) a few months ago when he interviewed fellow friend and fitness coach, Mike Vacanti, but I didn't continue following his work. That is, until recently, when I got more involved in startup/business Twitter. Danny kept popping up through likes and retweets, so I checked him out and really liked his content. I looked through his podcast guest list, then realized who he was. So I reached out and told him I wanted to connect, and this amazing episode was the result. Danny is the host of the Danny Miranda Podcast, where he's interviewed names like Gary Vaynerchuk, Jack Butcher, Jordan Syatt, and more. In this episode, we cover: -Why his grandma hates mushrooms/psychedelics so much -How he's turned to optimism over the past few years -Unlearning his past and how meditation has helped -What does his "highest version" look like? -Are you making your 10-year-old self proud and 80-year-old self proud? -His wild transformation from "Danny 1.0" to "Danny 2.0" -Danny's experience with #75Hard -When he's down, who does he look to for inspiration? -Crazy story of how Danny got the chance to interview Gary Vaynerchuk -Does he fear claiming the "optimist" identity? -Why Danny used a pseudonym on social media -Understanding yourself -Getting over the fear of judgment from friends -Crazy moments of serendipity in his life -Dealing with comparison and not getting caught up in following hyper-successful people -How do you figure out what you should want? -Stand-up comedy -Me telling Danny to have his friends on his podcast -His alternative life career -And much more!

Why would a man pursuing a career in law and politics suddenly give it all up and gamble his future on a restaurant? Just ask St. Louis native Danny Meyer, who turned that one restaurant into a hospitality empire and eventually founded Shake Shack, the beloved burger spot with over 250 locations around the world. Aside from the countless awards Danny Meyer has earned as a restaurateur, he also penned Setting the Table, which distills his philosophy on hospitality and leadership. But in his earlier years, he wouldn’t have predicted this future for himself. After the success of his first restaurant, he wanted to prove to himself that it wasn’t a fluke. That challenge brought him face to face with a harsh reality: he was a horrible manager. If he was going to make both restaurants work, he had to sharpen his leadership skills and instill the values of enlightened hospitality into his team so they could carry on in his absence. This self-improvement mission would be the spark for Danny’s restaurant empire: Gramercy Tavern, Blue Smoke and Jazz Standard, Shake Shack, The Modern, and many more. Today, with his philosophy of enlightened hospitality and belief in the importance of building community wealth, Danny Meyer continually prods the restaurant industry to level up and create better career opportunities for its workers, while challenging himself to share his insights with new industries through his investment fund. Key Topics: Introducing Danny. [00:42] Why Danny wrote Setting The Table in secret.

[04:12] The turning point of Danny’s professional life. [06:53] Developing a unique leadership style by managing volunteers. [10:04] Having a growth mentality towards employees. [11:42] Early lessons from Rich Melman. [12:42] Finding and hiring for the 51%. [14:16] Why Danny was so hesitant about opening a second restaurant. [16:45] Being forced to become a better manager. [18:14] Managing difficult family dynamics. [19:41] Why you shouldn’t spend too much money on your first venture. [20:31] Learning what it means to be responsible to your investors. [22:28] Early inspiration for Shake Shack. [25:25] Restoring Madison Square Park. [25:51] Testing Danny’s theory of enlightened hospitality with a hot dog cart. [27:17] Building community wealth.

Danny Schuman is a writer, marketer, entrepreneur, and president of the marketing consultancy, Twist, which specializes in brand marketing as well as product and service innovation. Before starting Twist, Danny wrote and directed marketing campaigns that helped build iconic brands like Quaker Oatmeal, Coors Light, and Gatorade. His bestselling book “The Worst Business Model in the World: A New Kind of Guide for a New Kind of Entrepreneur” is available on Amazon. What you’ll learn about in this episode: How the big economic downturn of 2008 launched a new adventure for Danny. How crumbs from agencies Danny worked with in his corporate career become the dough for his business when he created Twist. Why Danny believes the economic downtime was actually the perfect time to go out on his own when conventional wisdom suggests otherwise. Hint! The numbers support him. Why Danny continues to operate on a “startup” model even though Twist has been in business for 10 years now. How Danny came up with the title of his book. Why he almost changed it. And why he ultimately decided to keep it. Danny’s belief that each new project is an opportunity to solve a different problem and why that appeals to him. Danny’s belief that it’s more important to shift the focus to making friends rather than making money and how by developing those relationships with friends, you’re essentially creating a network that will help you make even more money in the end. Why Danny doesn’t prepare for meetings. And, why he thinks you shouldn’t prepare for them either. Hint! It’s more about listening than talking. What Danny believes is the most critical skill business owners need to master for success in today’s highly competitive marketplace. The most influential lesson Danny has learned from a mentor and how that lesson has shaped the way he operates his business. Not to mention his bottom line. Who Susie is and how creative types of business owners need a Susie in their lives and how more business oriented business owners need someone more creative to help with their businesses. It all goes back to that important lesson Danny learned from his mentor. Ways to contact Danny: Website: www.TwistYourThinking.com

I love hearing success stories – especially from individuals who found theirs from the ground up. My guest today, Danny Morel, is one of these stories. Considered the “man of the house” at an early age after a cross-country move from New York to California, he shouldered a lot in order to protect and provide for his family. From driving at age 13 to starting his first business at age 18, he knew he was wired for more in life. Since that time, Danny has run successful businesses, only to lose everything when the market crashed, and once again fought his way back to become the owner of several businesses that earn more than $40 million in revenue. Crediting much of his success to his thought process, he unknowingly (and luckily for us) lays out a step-by-step plan to help others get what they want, too. You definitely don’t want to miss this inspiring and motivational conversation. Oh and if you’re in the L.A. area July 11-13, be sure to get to tickets to his Relentless event. There will be some incredible speakers and I’m so bummed I can’t make it. Check out how you can get a free $199 general admission ticket in the Resources section! -- Question Highlights: What’s your favorite quote? What’s one of your superpowers? What’s one thing you’re afraid of? What’s one of the most memorable speeches or messages you’ve ever given What’s one of your favorite accomplishments? What did your upbringing look like? What is one of the greatest lessons/personality traits you took away from your situation from age 13-18? How did you think you’d be able to buy your mom a house by 21? What does it feel like to own businesses that earn $40 million in revenue? What’s your advice for those people who aren’t making it happen? How did you get such big names to speak at your Relentless event? Talk us through what “Morel means something” means when you say it to your kids. In This Episode We Talk about: How Danny’s family struggled with their finances early on Danny’s early driving experience at age 13 Danny’s first business at age 18 How Danny learned to get comfortable with pressure Reverse engineering your plan to get what you want Danny’s four-step plan to achieve your goals The difference between just action and “massive and inspired action” Hitting rock bottom when the market crashed and how he came back Why Danny believes in books, events and all learning Danny’s desire to do things with excellence and in the biggest way possible Why real wealth and success come from a healthy mind and spirit And so much more… -- Danny’s Thoughts… “I was always wired to want more in life and likely so because I didn’t have it.” “Pressure is privilege.” “Biblical abundance doesn’t mean you get a lot. It means more flows through you.” “Wealth and success is the byproduct of a wealthy and successful heart and soul.” -- Danny Morel is an author, broker, business owner and leader in the Real Estate industry who resides in Southern California. With over 20 years’ experience in the real estate business as a coach, mentor and broker, he embarked on a career as a salesperson at 19. By 27 years old, Danny had earned 1.5 million in commissions during the course of one calendar year. Even more impressive was his ABSOLUTE commitment to creating a leveraged business. Danny successfully closed 150 transactions that year while only averaging 4.5 days a week of work, while others struggled to close 30 transactions while working 7 days a week. His passion for others led him to teach the EXACT principles he followed as a sales person to others through his brokerage that started at zero and within 5 years of opening achieved 800 million dollars in sales annually. In 2017, his brokerage closed nearly 1 billion dollars in sales volume in only its 6th full year in business. His companies have been featured on the Inc 500 and Inc5 000 lists as one of the fastest growing companies in America between 2015 and 2017. People that work with Danny experience transformations that are typically unheard of. 30, 50 even 400% increase in production within 12 months are common play. In 2017 he authored his first book, The Resilience Road Map to provide his step-by-step philosophy of success to entrepreneurs worldwide and launched M.PIRE University, an online coaching university for entrepreneurs now hosting hundreds of clients. When not working on improving the lives of others, Danny enjoys time with his beautiful wife, Claudia and their three boys. -- Resources Instagram: @dannymorel RelentlessEvent.com July 11, 12, 13, 2018 | Los Angeles, CA **Get a BONUS General Admission Ticket!** When you buy a ticket and following me at ChrisWHarder on IG, I’ll pay for an additional General Admission ticket (value $199) for the first 10 people who message me with a receipt (I’m offering 5 and Danny is matching an additional 5!) -- For more stories and tips on becoming unapologetically wealthy, follow me @Chriswharder on Instagram and check out fortheloveofmoney.com.

You’d better buckle up for this episode of The Amazing Seller! It’s over one hour and 15 minutes long… and for great reason! Scott’s hosting a “round table” episode with 3 three other Amazing Sellers - Chris Schaeffer, Rich Kibble, and Danny Brewer. They’re talking about how to launch products, changes to Amazon’s algorithms, marketing strategies, setting up your own ecommerce site, and tons of other great stuff. You’ll want to take notes and listen to this one more than once because there’s just TOO MUCH information to digest at one time. Do you have the right mindset to be a successful Amazon seller? What kind of mindset is that? It’s one that believes in the Amazon model and that anyone can be successful if they follow the steps Scott outlines. It’s a mindset that won’t give up even when disappointments or setbacks come. It’s a mindset that doesn’t try shortcuts, but patiently does what needs to be done each step of the way. It’s a mindset that surrounds itself with other people who are doing the same things, to receive encouragement and be an encouragement. It’s a mindset that takes action, over and over again. Find out more about how to be an Amazing Amazon Seller on this episode. The fundamentals of building an Amazon Private Label business stay the same… but you have to learn to be flexible as some of the particulars change. Over the last few years Scott’s formula for product research and product launch has proven to still work. His strategies for using reviews and PPC still get results. But since the Amazon market is getting more crowded, you’ll need work harder at those things and also add more effort to differentiating your product from others. You’ve got to stay flexible and be creative to make it work, but it still works. What about the stuff going around that Amazon is cracking down on review groups? It is concerning to think that potentially hundreds of reviews for your products could vanish because Amazon deems them to have been “paid for” through a review group. But is it really something to be THAT concerned about? In this episode of The Amazing Seller Danny Brewer says that so far it’s all seemed like smoke without a lot of fire. He still uses review groups to do what he calls his “aggressive product launches.” But other people say that they’ve had reviews vanish without notice. What do you think? What does today’s guest panel think? Find out more by listening to this episode. You need to differentiate your Amazon products, but how do you go about doing that? There are many ways to make your products stand out, but one of the guests on today’s episodes has a great trick: He finds sellers that are offering products that are the same or similar to what he’s offering, and goes into their seller profile. There he can see everything they’re offering. He might decide to carry a product that is like something that competitor is doing, or he might get a great idea from browsing around the items they offer. Either way it expands his possibilities and helps him build a business not just a successful product. Hear more ways of making your company pop, on this episode of The Amazing Seller.
