4 年Mr. Dan Runcie's holistic analysis and investigation of what the world of entrepreneurship's increasing fusion with culture, music and innovation has evolved into will undoubtedly give birth to more financially independent thinkers and self-made millionaires than the lore of Napoleon Hill and similarly celebrated historical figures has. No disrespect intended, but it would remiss too let his vision go under appreciated while he is living amongst us and helping to mold the zeitgeist of our times.
exploring the edges, investing in people
