I'll never forget the episode where you cried. That moment hit me harder than I expected. It became the spark that pushed me to chase my dreams again. I once built an e-commerce brand that hit 30k a month. I even ran a product customization company where one of my proudest projects was designing VR devices for a client's event. But when my businesses collapsed, I lost more than money. I lost my purpose, and it felt like everything I worked for went to nothing. Now I'm back, deep into Al and building my third business with a different mindset. This time it's not about chasing money. It's about building something that matters and helps people. And when shit hits the fan when AI dystopia hits I hope I can be one of the people capable of sharing good. I don't want to live a good life because of you Dan. Instead, you gave me meaning and purpose. Way more joy than chasing after money, cars, luxuries. Tha you for shaping lives everyday Dan. Someday I hope to also find my wife that will truly be my partner that I can truly share who I truly am.

Thank you so much, Dan!!! Stumbled on your channel very recently. Love the way you share and help others. Single mother having a regular job, dedicating a decade in a marriage that ended, another decade raising a kid on my own, now that the cross road to continue that regular paycheck to paycheck job or to strive for change, to find the ways to become great. I guess my feed serves me well. Thank you Dan for sharing your story! It inspires me to look at my own story from a different angle, upgrade myself and make it better. With Gratitude! 🙏

Lemme share my true life story in short: I failed in 9th standard once, took four years to complete BBM, suffered from bed wetting till the age of 21, took five years to complete MBA, lost 13 jobs till date, suffered two broken engagements, left knee ligament fully torn apart, missed thirty one accidents till now in a span of fourteen years, met with a serious accident in November 2017 which led me to being bedridden for a whole month and where i had experienced hell. The nurse used to pour tincture on the raw wound. My job in 2019-2020 was working in pure night shifts which screwed up my health fully. I was molested in an interview in January 2021. In November 2022, my wife put me and my family into a lot of trouble since she pawned all her jewellery and fell into the trap of an online fraud which made her lose overall around 3.5 lakhs. My father bailed her out with his money. So the overall loss is around 8 lakhs. And top of all that i had suffered from urinary tract and anal fungal infection for the whole month of December 2022. The anal fungal infection cured only in February 2023. I suffered from anal fissures five times in February, March, April, September and December 2023. I lost my grandmother in February 2023 and she suffered a very painful and slow death. A big tumour was found in her stomach. And the fellow who was helping me in negotiating with the cops to crack the scam was battling for life in 2023 due to cancer and later blamed me for no reason and till date we've not got our money back still. On April 17, 2024 I was diagnosed with urinary tract infection the second time in 14 months and the very next day I just lost my 14th job. And all the doctors say that urinary tract infection hits mainly girls and females but me being a male I've been attacked so badly. And I've lost my last job for actually NO damn reason. I joined this place on March 11,2024 and terminated on April 18, 2024 without any proper communication nor notices. After that, I took up two more jobs but left them voluntarily because of all unnecessary complications that came after I joined there, and the worst part was that ONLY I was affected majorly due to the crap. And even worse was that these problems weren't even my fault. And top of all this crap, my wife has been royally cheated NOW by her school to the tune of 50K by looting her in broad daylight. Im 41 now. What hope is there for me in life?

Thank you for sharing your story Dan. It’s a good reminder to think how to use the present so you can have the future that is not determined by your past.

Most people see the cars and the businesses and think I've always had it figured out.
Truth is, I almost didn't make it to 18.
This carousel is everything I usually keep private.
The story behind the story.
The foundation that everything else was built on.
I'm sharing it as a reminder that your worst moments don't disqualify you from your best life.
A reminder that your past doesn't get to vote on your future.
I believe in you.
And if I did it… why not you?
