Millionaire
Mindcast, Dan Fleyshman
shares his secret sauce to success, and tips on how to be on top of
your competitors, how to create a massive brand online, and how to

Dan Fleyshman is the youngest
founder of a publicly traded company in history at 23, an Angel
Investor in 36 companies, speaker at over 250 events, virtual
mentor, and co-founded the “100 Million Mastermind Experience”. He

with social media influencers for fashion brands, film studios,
mobile apps & consumer products.
The Model Citizen Fund charity is his passion which creates backpacks
for the homeless filled with 150 emergency supply items
inside.
Dan had a background in business
at a very young age. He sold candies in high school and started
trademarking when he was 17. At 19, he closed a $9.5 million
dollars licensing deal with STARTER apparel and launched the “Who’s
Your Daddy” energy drink. Later, went on to launch Victory Poker,
which became 1 of the top 5 online poker brands
internationally.
Despite Dan’s success in
business and career and having a world-class hall of fame network,
he remains an introvert. How did he do it? Dan interacts with
people from all walks of life-based on the things that are relevant
to them & provide them the experiences for them to remember him by
it. This creates a feeling which creates a connection. Also,
Dan only invests in companies that he could help with to
consistently add value to people.
