This show is a conversation that focuses on the struggle, the success, and the story in between.
Today's conversation is with my friend Daniel George and it took place in February 2018. Daniel was in Los Angeles for the NBA all-star weekend and stopped by the studio. Since this podcast is about storytelling and motivation, I believe the lessons you learn here are timeless, regardless of when the conversation took place.
As for Daniel's story, he grew up with a business mindset, he first started selling socks, turned that into a partnership with Nike, and turned that partnership into his own marketing company called Limitless Creative. The company became so successful, that in 2018 he was named in Forbes 30 under 30. Limitless Creative has continued to grow and has now turned into a multi-million dollar global marketing agency with offices around the world! In December 2021, he co-founded HEIR, which is a next-generation holding company that builds culturally-inspired consumer brands rooted in sports, tech, and entertainment. And, most recently, he has gotten into the restaurant business with the critically acclaimed Chicago Italian restaurant, Gino and Marty’s.
Daniel has experienced struggle and success, and this is his story!
