#38, Neuroplasticity, Longevity & Failure: Dan Murray-Serter Secret Leaders host & Co-Founder of Heights

2022/11/29

Anatomy of a Leader with Maria Hvorostovsky

Shownotes Transcript

Dan Murray-Serter is certainly one of the most interesting, curious and deep thinking entrepreneurs I have ever met.

Having failed with a fashion tech startup Grabble, he and his business partner did a lot of soul searching for their next venture and Heights (the coolest supplement brand) was born.

Deeply purpose and values led, Heights created an engaged community of extremely loyal followers who are not only consumers of the product, but investors in the company as well.

In Episode 38, Dan and I touch on everything from never having enough, consumerism, ageing, neuroplasticity of the brain, being a father, learning from your mistakes, making hard choices, running a business with full transparency and much more.

Get your pens and papers out for some great book recommendations too.
