Daniel MacMillan | Our Word Is Our Bond: Sales, Leadership & The Strength of Character

This week, we’re breaking the rules and letting a Nepo Husband have the mic. (It’s his birthday week — we’re letting him cook.)

Dan MacMillan — or as he’s known in the industry, Danny Mac — is a top-ranking wealth advisor, cancer survivor, loving dad and dog dad, and the person I admire more than anyone I’ve ever worked with. Oh, and my husband. ❤️

In this episode, we unpack:

• What true sales leadership looks like when it's grounded in values
• Why your word still matters — even in high-stakes, high-pressure environments
• The difference between character that’s built vs. revealed
• And how resilience, humility, and quiet strength have shaped a legacy of trust
• Oh and he also makes me CRY.

We also talk about the tribunal moment that changed how I saw integrity in this business forever, and why Dan’s version of success was never about flashy wins — but about consistent character.

This one’s for the sales professionals and leaders-not just in finance but across sectors, the mentors, the next generation of sales leaders trying to navigate pressure without losing themselves… and for anyone wondering if they can succeed without selling their soul.

Spoiler: You can. Just ask Danny Mac.
