Doug is joined by Dan Bradbury, an entrepreneur, business investor and mentor. Dan shares his journey through early business failures, a life threatening accident that changed his perspective on financial security, and his evolution into buying, scaling, and selling companies. His approach to goal setting, learning, and business growth, combined with his passion for mastermind groups and relationship building, provides great insight into achieving success whilst remaining authentic

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Dan's early business failure, resulting in £109,000 of personal debt, became a foundational learning experience that shaped his approach to entrepreneurship and his ability to help others avoid similar mistakes.
His life changing cycling accident and resulting brain injury transformed his perspective on business, leading him to shift from simply running companies to strategically buying, selling, and merging them for greater security.
Rather than focusing on massive goals, Dan structures his approach around daily achievements in three core areas: health/wellbeing, business, and relationships, using apps to track his progress.
As a big reader with a personal library of thousands of books, Dan maintains an unlimited book budget for his family, believing strongly that most solutions already exist in written form.
Dan actively seeks out people with opposing viewpoints, following Charlie Munger's philosophy of understanding the opposite perspective better than its proponents before forming opinions.
In his mastermind groups, Dan focuses first on identifying the six key areas of business and diagnosing where each member's weakest links are, believing the biggest gains come from addressing these weaknesses.
Having tested multiple paths to success, Dan advocates for gathering diverse solutions rather than relying on a single approach, encouraging others to explore multiple routes to their goals.
Through his years of business experience, Dan has discovered that the true value isn't in achieving goals but in the relationships built along the journey, creating lasting impact and fulfilment.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you've already had the answers, you would have done it already. I kind of go innovations come from looking outside of yourself."

"I refuse to let myself have an opinion on something unless I know more about my opponent's point of view than they do." 

"I believe that prescription without proper diagnosis is malpractice." 

"If you meet somebody that refuses to admit that is convinced that they're right constantly and isn't willing to hold up their hands and say when they're wrong, that should be a big red flag."
