The Dan Go Podcast 57| Dan Martell - From Jail to 8 Figures
Joining me today is Dan Martell, author of the book Buy Back Your Time. I have known Dan for nearly a decade, and he is a good friend of mine. Dan takes us back to the very beginning and how he got started, taking us all the way back to his traumatic childhood and how that led to a prison sentence and his turning his life around.
Dan now runs the largest software coaching program for CEOs, and he shares his journey, including how and why he decided to become sober, why he stays physically active, what inspired him to write his book, and so much more! It’s such an incredible and insightful conversation!
I am so appreciative of Dan, his time, and his willingness to share his story. He allows his instincts to come through which is something that I really admire about him. Be sure that you follow him on social media, especially Instagram, and if you aren't subscribed to the podcast already, please be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast app! I would also really appreciate it if you would share the podcast with at least one other person you know who might also enjoy it and if you would leave me a five-star review! That really helps the show out!
