Ep. 588: Dan Pena Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Sep 11, 2017

Show notes

My guest today is Dan Pena, a high performance coach, philanthropist, businessman and author. He has seen every type of business imaginable. He brings an attitude that inspires and provokes action. Dan doesn't have a subtle, gentle teaching style – as anyone can sense from this podcast. His students regularly ask him, "Why are you so mean? Why do you use such harsh language?" He responds by saying, "Because life is hard." Most people want change, but they only want change that conforms to their definition — and that is not change. That is staying the same.

The topic is his book Your First 100 Million.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Lack of leadership in today's society
Alpha males
Beta males
Getting out of victim mode
Political correctness syndrome
Snowflakes
