Thought Leader

Co-Founder of Fireside Strategic, Dan King, a former lawyer turned sales strategist explains how he helps CEOs by combining integrated strategy, consulting, and executive coaching to help both the human and their business grow. Dan shares his idea on how there are two different types of CEOs, Engineers and Creators, and says he primarily focuses on the Creators in his work. He emphasizes how branding is important for self-awareness and says that the conversation with Kent and Randy reminded him that he ignored his branding when he started. Dan says he likes to do “stupid” things to relax and shares some of his experiences. Listen to hear about the humanitarian rickshaw race in India that Dan experienced.

What is Thought Leader?

We put scare quotes around the term “thought leader.” Don't worry - no hagiographic interviews here. No upsells, no bullshit.

We have great conversations with true innovators, thinkers, disrupters, creatives, and a few fools. (You decide.) We ask them all for insights, stories and tools. (You'll laugh, you'll shout, you might fall asleep. It's all good.)

We are all thought leaders. Think more. Lead better.
