"Hustle. Founder. Innovator. Disrupter." Ok dude. Most of us won't start a company or work for ourselves (I did it twice. Almost killed me both times). Almost all of us will navigate a career. Chase creative ideas. Launch passion projects. And need to figure stuff out in adulthood. This is a show about those things, with people who are achieving real results. I started out my career at age 19 on-air in Chicago radio and nationally syndicated TV. After a decade on-air, I transitioned into bus ...

Grandpa Dan discusses the role of elders in a society. While intergenerational strife is common today, that is not the way things are supposed to be.

Grandpa Dan discusses some observations about human behavior. The stereotypical midwit will point out the obvious while apparently believing they’ve revealed something profound.

Like many of you, Grandpa Dan has the feeling that something is about to give.
