Start Here

My name's Dan. I read a lot, I take a lot of notes, and I like breaking down complex subjects into systems I can use in my own life.
I have also run a 7-figure marketing agency for over a decade (while completely removed myself from the day to day).
That's led to a lot of exploration (like becoming a certified hypnotist!) and playing sold-out shows all over the world with my musical projects (which include HAVE A NICE LIFE, Giles Corey, and Black Wing).
I've now made the transition to working directly with business owners and passing on what I know about building super-profitable businesses AND fun, fulfilling lifestyles.

About The Blog
The core of Better Questions is a semi- weekly email. The philosophy - and the method - behind everything I do here is Learn, Make, Teach (hat-tip to Epsilon Theory, one of the best to ever do it.)
I learn something new...
I make something useful with that knowledge...
And then I teach what I learned.
Foundational Posts
There are a few posts that have really stood out as "foundational" to what I'm trying to do here.
If you're looking for a good place to start, I'd start with these.
The Elephants
As close to a mission statement as this blog gets.
Only You
On your responsibility to the world.
