Our Guest
Three-peat Live Different Podcast guest Daniel DiPiazza joins us again for a fun chat about topics ranging from brain health, to becoming a best-selling author.
On his previous appearances on the podcast we discuss how to keep obsessions in check and how to overcome self doubt.
This week, he joins us as a bestselling author after hitting the #11 spot on the New York Times’ Bestseller List. Dan’s recent book, Rich20Something, is the only book you need to blaze your own path to an epic career and start getting the most out of your life now.
If you haven’t heard of Dan, he’s the founder of Rich20Something.com and his recent book has received hundreds of five star reviews. The book is topping the charts in the innovation, startup, and business skills categories.
Dan has also created online courses, consulted 6-7 figure businesses on marketing strategy, taught young ambitious people how to start their own freelance businesses, and also acquired Under30CEO.
The Episode
We talk about my latest exploration in optimal brain wave states, meditation, and neurofeedback.
I go on a rant about eating enough fats & veganism, and Daniel talks about the high price of living in Los Angeles, why he decided to drive a Mercedes Benz, and why he wants to move to Barcelona.
Daniel drops some sage knowledge from Alan Watts and how to be comfortable with who you are versus doing things simply because you want to be better than other people. Do things for you and nobody else.
We also talk about how it’s way better to have a small group of dedicated customers instead of a big following on social media.
