Dan's latest posts span topics ranging from how neuroscience can help you at your job to what secrets science—and even myth—hold for those who are seeking higher performance and deeper fulfillment.

Hey! I'm Dan.
I use science to help you finD purpose, make Money, and override the patterns running your life.
Over the past decade of research in psychology, neuroscience and how our minds work, I've learned one very important thing: when our minds are in control, we're out of control.
Your brain — the thing you've been relying on for every major decision in your career and life — is only one part of your overall intelligence.
The people who perform at the highest levels under pressure — elite athletes, top negotiators, the best founders — aren't just thinking harder. They've learned to access something most professionals never develop. Some call it flow, others call it being in the zone. I call it connecting with your true genius.
In Rome, a genius wasn't a smart person — it was an inner intelligence everyone was born with. A guiding force. The Greeks had a similar concept. They called it your daimonion.
Modern neuroscience is finally discovering that our conscious, reasoning mind is only one part of a much more complex—and way more efficient—form of intelligence. And if we can train ourselves to use this intelligence, we can unlock our true genius, whether it's meant to save the world or simply be a better partner.
The best part is that it's not an extraordinarily difficult thing to do. The highest performers among us aren't the ones who think the most. They're the ones who've learned the tricks to to using their full intelligence system—their full genius.
Those tricks are what the Born Genius Newsletter is designed to share.
Every week, I synthesize the latest research to bring you actionable, practical insights that will help you in your career, your personal growth journey, your relationships, and more.
If you're curious and looking for the edge that can finally set you apart, the Born Genius Newsletter holds the secrets you've been waiting for.
