Show Notes

Dan Murray-Serter is a spiritually curious serial entrepreneur who loves animals. 

“I'm not afraid to try something and shut it down. I've had eight companies, I've had to shut down five of them. So I failed a bunch of times.”

Dan’s also the host of the UK’s number one business podcast, Secret Leaders, co-founder of Founders, a private network of incredible founders, and writer at Forbes. His current venture - Heights, is a company he co-founded to tackle his own mental health and combat his chronic anxiety and six-month-long insomnia.

“Someone recommended I see a dietitian, and the dietician diagnosed me in seconds, she prescribed me supplements, and I was like, Oh, no, supplements don't work. But the supplements worked really quickly, within a week, and I was sleeping like a baby and my anxiety had gone away.”
