Anatomy of a Leader with Maria Hvorostovsky
#38, Neuroplasticity, Longevity & Failure: Dan Murray-Serter Secret Leaders host & Co-Founder of Heights
29 Nov 2022
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. ------------------------------- WE DISCUSS ------------------------------- 02:18 - Being a ‘walk’ influencer 11:03 - Is there a book in you? 18:09 - Ageing and retirement 24:25 - Where does your interest in health come from? 33:59 - Why is being transparent in business important to you? 35:41 - Why did grabble fail? 41:21 - Company values and hiring 44:58 - How do you know when you’ve hired the right person? 50:22 - How do you decide what to focus on? 54:50 - Is Heights your calling? 57:17 - Neuroplasticity 01:06:50 - Consumerism and having enough 01:13:22 - How has becoming a father shaped you as an entrepreneur? 01:21:05 - The Impossible Question ------------------------------------- DAN MURRAY-SERTER ------------------------------------- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danmurrayserter/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/danmurrayserter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danmurrayserter/ Heights: —-------- Website: https://www.yourheights.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/yourheights Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourheights/ ------------------------------- FOLLOW ME ON ------------------------------- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariahvo/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mariahvo/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/mhvorostovsky HVO Search: https://www.hvosearch.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Need help HIRING - head over to - http://www.hirewithmaria.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LEAVE A REVIEW: If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts make sure to Follow, Rate, and leave a REVIEW.
