It's so much nicer listening to Daniel Priestley when he's not constantly being interrupted by Gary Stevenson! Some stuff about products as a consultant at around 1:03:00 I particularly liked. Definitely interested in checking out his books.

I’ve learned so much from Daniel. One of the most eloquent and concise business voices of our time. Thanks for another great interview!

I listened to Daniel Priestley's first interview on the Dairy of A CEO and that was my favorite podcast for the year. I think this is the equavilent of that. I will wake and sleep with this.

They've been dimming the sky for years, but everyone called anyone pointing it out a conspiracy theorist 🤪

Superb interview. Think one of Chris's best so far, less gym bro mind stuff and more real world life chat. You definitely need daniel back again...

I’ve been following both CHRIS and Daniel for about a year. They both have incredible knowledge to share. My whole model is built around high-performance coaching and his 7-11-4 Formula Key Person of Influence Book that Daniel has made so popular. Can’t wait to join Dent 😊

I’m only 31 minutes in to the video but I had to comment that I’m really grateful for this conversation. I also worked at McDonald’s at 16 and had similar revelations. I also worked for and organised live events in my 20’s I’m currently 5 years into starting an activity business from scratch and it’s been amazing. I’ve learned a ton and it’s done well ie grown steadily. I’m currently stressing about not selling out my latest event as fast as my previous ones. This video reset my calm. ….reminded me of that early training… and made me realise that if my latest event tanks, it’s just training. I’ll live to crash and burn another day. I still have the experience and the hunger. Thanks so much guys. One thing I have to disagree with you Chris is that the North East isn’t full of Entrepreneurs. Loads of canny geordies out there mate. They are amongst the canniest of the brits. You being a great example . In my circles , two of my business mentors have been Geordies.
