Most people want wealth but few are willing to pay the price.
In this episode, I sit down with Dan Henry — entrepreneur, investor, and bestselling author — to unpack how he went from delivering pizzas and sleeping in a freezing apartment to building a $35 million business.
The turning point? A single question he asked a billionaire that changed everything.
We dive into the three most powerful forms of leverage — labor, code, and audience — and how your personal brand is the ultimate multiplier. Because when you learn how to turn attention into trust and trust into opportunity, your brand becomes an asset that works even when you don’t.
You’ll hear:
- How leverage works in the real world and how to build it piece by piece
- Why your personal brand is more valuable than any business card or degree
- The mindset shift between wanting wealth and being willing to earn it
- What separates people who say they want success from those who sacrifice for it
If you’ve ever wondered what separates dreamers from builders, this conversation will make it crystal clear: it’s leverage… and the price you’re willing to pay for it.

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
