From Marine Corps to Marketplace w/ Dan Feliciano
In this episode of the Mindset Growth Podcast, Gary and Heather welcome Dan Feliciano, co-founder of Closeline. Dan's story begins in New York, where he grew up in poverty in the Bronx before joining the Marine Corps as a helicopter pilot. His journey is a testament to the power of hard work and the importance of giving back. Dan shares his entrepreneurial adventure with Closeline, a tech startup that outsources laundry tasks to gig workers in local communities, breaking traditional industry norms and creating new job opportunities. Dan's experiences reflect the value of embracing cultural diversity and the importance of travel in broadening one's perspective. He also touches on the seemingly unrelated but equally insightful topic of golf. Throughout the conversation, Dan emphasizes the mindset of always striving to win, a principle ingrained in him from his military service. He talks about the importance of leadership, the necessity of trusting and delegating to others, and the courage needed to adapt and invest in your business amidst economic changes. Dan's favorite quote underscores the essence of self-determination, encouraging listeners to remain fearless and open to new ideas while continuously aiming for improvement.
