Episode notes

"I try to think of the good times, you know, like just the good memories of my mom," he says. "The book Awareness by Anthony D'Amello is a great, great book for developing emotional intelligence and self-awareness" He adds: "It hurt way more seeing her suffering when she was alive than when she was dead"

Dakota Robertson is a writer and entrepreneur. He’s built a 100,000+ person audience on both Twitter and Instagram in less than two years. But what’s even crazier is how his upbringing has shaped him to create this reality.

In this conversation, we spoke about how growing up without a father has shaped him, how to be a better writer, and what he’d recommend to other entrepreneurs just getting started online. He even called this the greatest podcast he’s ever done.
