Dan Corcoran: Rebuilding the Next Generation of Men

Dan Corcoran is a Philadelphia native who left his corporate role at Amazon to return home and build something that truly mattered.

After years in the corporate world, he began noticing a pattern: many young men were quietly falling behind—in their careers, physical health, social relationships, and sense of direction. At the same time, there were very few environments designed specifically to challenge, develop, and equip them for real-world success. Rather than simply pointing out the problem, Dan decided to do something about it.

Today, Dan organizes large-scale professional and personal development events for young men in the Philadelphia area. His events bring together leaders from business, community organizations, and sports to provide practical guidance, accountability, and meaningful connection.

His work focuses on responsibility, personal growth, fitness, and helping young men build momentum early in life so they can lead stronger, more purposeful lives.

Topics Dan frequently speaks about include:

• Why so many young men feel stuck right now
• The fitness–career connection nobody talks about
• The hidden bias against boys and men in education and the workforce
• The quiet cultural betrayal of young men
• How strength training and proper nutrition change the way you show up in life

Welcome back, listeners of the Randomness of Nothing podcast. As always, we bring interesting guests from all walks of life who have decided to make an impact outside of their and not follow the norm of what life typically would have to operate and function. This is a man who left a corporate career at Amazon to decide to mentor young men into the better stages of life to become better versions of themselves. In the greater Philadelphia area, Dan Corcoran. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 0:22

Rajad, pleasure to have you here. Or pleasure to be here today. I'm used to being a host still.

SPEAKER_01 0:27

It's all good, man. You know, it's weird what every time a couple times that I've been interviewed, I'm like, I'm not used to answering all the questions, right? And then people are like asking, and you're sitting there kind of with a blank stare in your face, like because you're so used to being like a facility. I know.

SPEAKER_00 0:40

I I precisely.

SPEAKER_01 0:41

But yeah, yeah, it's like sitting in the passenger seat of the car. And you're like, this is really weird, man.

SPEAKER_00 0:47

Yeah, not driving the discussion. Precisely.

SPEAKER_01 0:49

He's like, yeah, so go ahead, please, and tell us about yourself. Thank you for being on.

SPEAKER_00 0:53

Yeah. My name is Dan Corcran. I worked at Amazon for a few years before that. I went to Penn State, graduated from there, originally from the Philadelphia area. And when I graduated from Penn State, I took kind of the best job I could find for myself. I had a liberal arts degree, didn't really have any hard skills that I developed. So I was like, where's you know, a decent company I could work at and grow? And thankfully, Amazon took a chance on me. And I worked there for four years, over four years. And during that time, specifically on the corporate side of things, I started to notice a bias, a bias against guys in terms of the policies, the hiring policies, the rhetoric within the org, the marketing, how we marketed certain things. And that kind of stuck with me because I'm like, that doesn't seem right. That doesn't really seem fair. And simultaneously, as that was going on, I was starting to notice the empirical trends that were being observed of the declining outcomes for younger guys in higher education and dropping out of the workforce and not doing so well in their health and having less and less social relationships, which over time just compounded my mind like this this doesn't feel right. This feels like we're on the wrong trajectory here, not just for younger guys, but as a country, which, you know, in at a certain point just pushed me to do something. I was like, I'm not going to live my life as a corporate drone and see this country that I do care about decline steadily and you know be 80 years old and be like, yeah, you didn't do anything about that, but you did notice it nonetheless.

SPEAKER_01 2:24

Yeah, that's you know, and the reality about it is everybody kind of has that what you call lightning in a bottle moment in life where you're just like, you know, there's and to to discover that at a very early age, you know, it, you know, I don't know how old you are, but you look young, right? So but to find that out, but to find that out at at a pinnacle and say, listen, you know, this is what I want to pursue. And then on top of that, you know, to to have an envious position such as at Amazon and be willing to sit back and say, I'm going to go in a different path with what my life takes me, I mean, that's risk taking, right? Because a lot of people tend to take the things that are very comfortable for themselves and you know go on cruise control. I had a very, you know, important guest one time who told me there's life by design and there's life by default, right? And so if you aren't careful, you know, you'll find yourself in a routine and won't even know you're in a routine. And the things that are normal, right? The things that are normal, you know, are really a high level of mediocrity, right? Because all you do is just wake up, you know, have your bowl of cereal and go on autopilot for the rest of the day, you know, and that's that's that's a really good thing for you catching. So my question to you, and I don't want to over talk you, was when did you decide to make that change and how was that for you on a personal level?

SPEAKER_00 3:34

You know what's interesting, and there wasn't like this one split moment of like, I'm done, this is it, I'm leaving. It was actually kind of years in the making. It went back to like growing up. I went to a Catholic grade school, went to Catholic high school as part of a Catholic fraternity in college. Not that I joined the fraternity because it was Catholic, but I've because of all these things, I've always believed in like a higher purpose, like a higher calling, in essence. I always you know, and through cinema too, like Braveheart, William Wallace, and all that. So I was always bought into that idea that you're kind of made for more. It's just whether you take up the part or not. So I knew when I was in Amazon this was not gonna be the end all be all. And I I honestly became very cognant of not trying to get addicted to that lifestyle that you spoke of. Because I think you kind of get trapped in these golden handcuffs, as you call it, where you are used to eating a certain way. You know, you're going out three, four times a week, you are taking X amount of vacations a year, you're going, you're doing this with friends. I try to be very cognant of not trying to get to not get addicted to that lifestyle. So when I did decide to leave, and when I was doing this, it didn't feel like such I was losing as much as some. But I mean, it took the course of a year. I think a lot of people are recommended and encouraged just to like jump ship. It took over a year in the making of like, when should you leave? Aligning up with your apartment lease ending, make sure you get your stock vesting dates, and make sure you know you don't tell anyone except like your closest friend there, it's things of that nature because it's very much strategic because like a lot any corporation, they get whiff of you leaving, they may give you that you know that premature exit.

SPEAKER_01 5:09

I and the thing is about it is is that you know, that you did have a plan, right? So there's there's a there's a couple steps to this process, you know, personal growth, professional growth. And it wasn't like you know, you decided, hey, I'm just gonna live, you know, you know, and I'm not disrespecting anybody. I'm not just gonna go in a tree house and and you know have cocktails and figure it out. You're like, no, I actually want to have young men accelerate, and I got a chance to check out your website and you know what you're all about. And you know, you're hosting events where it looks like people are getting haircuts, headshots, 30-day action plans. So they like you're putting people in a place where they need to be in professional development, regardless of what field of of what they may pursue, just having a level of professionalism and confidence about yourself, because you know, I think a lot of times, you know, it's like figure it out once you turn a certain age.

SPEAKER_00 6:01

Mm-hmm. Yeah, there's no those milestones come to a complete end, basically, from high school to college to grad school, whatever it is, wherever it looks like for you, it stops, and then there's little to no guidance in your life, and then that's when the autopilot could really take over.

SPEAKER_01 6:17

Without question. And the interesting part about it is that you know it's funny because we always say we're kind of pre-programmed, right? Like, you know, here you are 13, 12, 14. It's important to get to 4.0, that you know, it's important to be on the dean's list, it's important to, you know, to to send you all your application, fill out your FASF, or whatever the case may be. And then you're supposed to follow. Society has told you you're supposed to follow a certain trajectory, regardless of what you really you want to do. And the ones that have figured it out, like you know, obviously people can go into skill trades and go into mechanics, but for the vast majority of of men between the ages of 14 and 18, they're telling you you have to get that four-year degree and you have to graduate from college, get that internship, because that's the only way you'll be successful.

SPEAKER_00 7:01

Precisely. And and I've we're seeing in real time how that's not the case. Absolutely not.

SPEAKER_01 7:06

Absolutely not. How that's not the case.

SPEAKER_00 7:08

100%, 100% so and honestly, I wouldn't change much. People will have a lot of regrets about changing things. I wouldn't change much because I wouldn't want things to be different in a way, like I like who I am, but at the same time, if I could speak to someone who was younger, say 18, what I would suggest to that person is you don't have to know your life, but know what you do like to do and how that can provide value to people in a skill, preferably. Because the good and this, I was having a conversation with a friend the other day who works at a corporation himself. But the thing is, he's like a licensed broker, so he developed a skill. And this is a skill that if you ever got sick of working at this corporation, you could go and sell that skill to another company, or even better, say you could start a business yourself. Most people don't develop a skill, they just work a job. And the thing is you become dependent on the employer to supply your life, your living, whatever. And if you were no longer beneficial to the bottom line, you're gone. Like see a buddy, and but you have nothing to fall back on, you have no skill to fall back on. And I think crafting that skill at a younger age or knowing where you want to go in terms of a skill is is important.

SPEAKER_01 8:15

I think that there's a large-scale failure, actually, when it comes to doing exactly just what you said, right? Because I I've said for years, I've said for years, you know, I have three children. I said, you know, everybody isn't I mean, you learn chapter one in high school at, you know, let's say you're in math. Chapter one is in September, chapter three is in October, and chapter seven is by December. So you're just flying by, and instead of sitting back and saying, hey, maybe this kid shouldn't be in calculus, maybe they really should be set up to be like, you know, a car mechanic. Well, why not aren't they in all of like car mechanics and and robotics courses for their entire high school? Right? Hey, I don't need to be in social studies, I don't need to be in home. And I'm I'm just keeping it real. Like, I don't need 60% of these courses because it's not applicable to me. So why not focus on me from 14 to 18 learning electrician, robotics, and just let me get my high school degree in that, and I can graduate from that instead of putting me in these generic courses that everybody does, even though it's not for me.

SPEAKER_00 9:17

Precisely. And I'm so happy you said that because Father Judged a high school I graduated from in Northeast Philadelphia, they actually started leaning into what you just said of opening up these skilled programs such as in welding, and students are now graduating from there with guaranteed job offers of up to$70,000. That's my point.

SPEAKER_01 9:35

So it's yeah, you I can't emphasize that enough. I I'd like to know the people that decided that this was the best way to do it, but in case anybody's asleep at the steering wheel, it's like, dude, like wake up and smell the coffee. These six, seven courses that you go through every single day, you know, you can look at the you can look at the grades, right? If 40% of your kids are either absent, not paying attention, or failing it, why not pivot?

SPEAKER_00 10:01

For sure. And we're seeing declining outcomes for younger guys in not just higher education, but also high school and their reading comprehension levels. And the thing is too, typically guys, boys display lower impulse control in classrooms. And the thing is, I don't believe that's exactly such a bad thing. It's just like, how do you kind of cater the learning experience to two younger guys who maybe want to be a bit more active? I mean, I remember in grade school when they stopped, when they said we couldn't run in the schoolyard anymore, at least to me, that was like hell. I'm like, what? Can't run anymore? What the what is this? So it's like how do we start catering because guy, young men are falling back in education, stuff going like, what are they doing wrong? It's like, what are we doing wrong as a system that doesn't equip them to succeed in this environment?

SPEAKER_01 10:53

I think that, you know, I think there's a large starving for it because I think now there's a pushback about it, right? And you know, the people that necessarily had all the answers, you know, you're seeing it, you know, with people who are declining to seek a four-year degree because for for there was this period, oh, I'm assuming I'm older than you, I'm not gonna say I am because I truly don't want to sit back and say, you could be 50, right? And I'm like, oh shit, no, I'm not 50, right? So you know what I'm saying, but like there was this approach for a couple decades that unless you had that four-year degree or that plaque on that wall, you didn't have value or you were looked at less than, right? And so now that because the cost is now like 50, 60, 70,000 a year, people are like, I'm not doing that. Now, if you want to be a doctor, if you need to be, you know, a lawyer, I'm not knocking higher education, I have a four-year degree. Having said that, there's some out-of-the-box ways, certificates and and and different courses and self-learning tools that have pushed people up in ways that has broken that thought process, and it's a good thing, right? So precisely by you hosting these workshops, you're almost getting the people who are on the outside looking in who weren't in that circle that says, No, you do belong.

SPEAKER_00 12:08

Yes, and the thing here too, Rashad, like this is our first inaugural event, and we want to be as successful as possible. And that's why anyone who is listening to this and knows, you know, in the Philadelphia area and wants to attend Rashad, we'll make sure we get that link in the in the bio or in the description. But to your to your point, this is a whole thing about re-igniting community. This young men's summit is about re-igniting community because as we observe, social isolation is such an issue, not just with guys, but with everyone. And the thing is, there I was reading a book the other day, and uh, the quote went, It's not enough for a man to live. He needs to understand what he lives for. Not enough guys understand what they're living for, and then you go into that autopilot autopilot routine that we spoke of earlier, of just the mundane, then the escapism through the weekend at the bar, and then sort of this vicious cycle of mediocrity that you don't really even want for yourself, but you also don't think there is actually a way out. So, this event, this young men's summit, is supposed to create like that way out of a life that you may not want to live and and and how things could be better and help equip you with the skills and the people that would that would help you succeed in that new life you want to design for yourself.

SPEAKER_01 13:24

Anyone who's listening, it's gonna sound funny. Like a high school should even show somebody how to be like, hey, this is a social media course, right? Like if you I'm not saying like you, if you want to be the TikTok star, right? But like you could say this is how you could cultivate a social following. They should have you know a course or a specialty uh on social networking, on on social platforms, on proper trending and things like that. I mean, for it sounds corny, but even you could even sit back and say, you know what, we're gonna have somebody major in sound and broadcast, and you know, maybe you want to be like a viral sensation or sports broadcaster or something viral with with what we're doing right now. And that is now a very lucrative career for people to go into, right? And so unfortunately, you have a lot of you know, old school superintendents, old school school boards, old school mentality that says, no, this is the curriculum, this is how we have this structure, this is how the school board, you know, and the state licensing says you can't have that. And it's it's an antiquated way of thinking with the way the world works right now.

SPEAKER_00 14:28

For sure, because it's based. I am one who values tradition, right? I think there's value in tradition, but there's something where tradition cannot hold up by itself on tradition alone. There has to be something in that. So if you're just saying we need the four-year degrees, uh, what do the four-year year degrees do? Well, we just need them because that's how it's my point.

SPEAKER_01 14:48

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 14:49

Bro, yeah, it's what we need. What are what do the four-year degrees allow you to do? You know, they're like a means to an end, but right now there is no end, it's just a means to nothing because you're not getting a job. Right. So we there has to be a re-evaluation of how people approach college. And I went to college, yeah. I had a great time. I wouldn't change a thing about it, but they equip equip me for the working world, not even close. And partially that's definitely on me, but it's also the expectation that people that need to be rid of and dispelled with of like how getting a college degree will set you up for like no one.

SPEAKER_01 15:24

That's just not if you're honest with yourself, right? If you're for being honest with yourself, think about this for a minute. You're 17, 18 years old in June, and you're asking somebody by September or early August to have it all together of exactly what they want to do in a classroom setting. And I'm not like, you know, listen, I went to school with some smart people. I wasn't, I was right there in the mediocrity level. I got out, I wasn't being special, I wasn't anything bad. So I'm right there with just like, hey, you know, I got out, I did my thing. Which is actually most of the college people, right? Where I did, hey, I got my four-year degree and I can I can I've done enough, I've accomplished something. Having said all that, the mentality and approach is what am I preparing you to do? Are you having are you having applicable skills to actually do something of uh of substance? Can you survive on your own with what you've learned, irrespective of how society functions and operates, right? Like a perfect example. I'll tell you, I hate to cut you off. I had friends who cut hair in college. Cutting like and you're like, and all of a sudden you're like, dang, you get up there and you're like, man, you're making a lot of money cutting hair, and I can't believe I don't know how to cut hair. And my I have family of barbers.

SPEAKER_00 16:37

Yeah, that's I mean, yeah, I was just thinking about that in real time because uh at the event where I have the shape ups, but it goes back to the skill. It goes back to the skill of being able to build something up that you can utilize in your life rather than just learning a whole bunch of material that won't benefit you in the long term. If you have a personal interest in it, that's great. But nonetheless, there is something about crafting a skill. And thankfully for myself, I've always been big into fitness and and working out and nutrition. So when I left my corporate role Amazon, I'm like, okay, well, I'm gonna start a business, I want to put on these young men's events, but I also need to be able to provide for myself and hopefully you know, aspiring future family. So I I'm leaning into what I learned for the past 12 years in fitness and working out. So it all goes back to those skills because when when you don't have anything to fall back on, when you can't really provide value, it's just a sad place to be. It's it and I'm not saying we that those people need to be scolded, but there's something has to change. Like you need to learn how to provide value, solve problems, and get good at something that you like.

SPEAKER_01 17:41

Well, it's funny you mentioned fitness because you know I'm big into martial arts. So, you know, I have a uh black belt in Tong Sudo, I have a brown belt in Taekwondo, and I do uh Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Lui Thai. And you know, anybody who's ever, if you ever need your ego shattered, do martial arts. If you ever thought you're just being totally honest with you, if you ever need to be like, hey man, I need to be tough brought down a couple notches, go to any one of those courses, you know, from a serious trained instructor with good students, and you'll find out real quick, you know, hey man, I'm not anywhere close to and this is just really people, right? Yeah, this isn't anybody UFC or professional level, you know. So can we talk specifically about this first event that you're gonna be hosting in in in the next month? For everybody who's listening, it's like March 28th, if I'm if I'm mistaken. Yes, sir. So I would really like to get some details about that event.

SPEAKER_00 18:28

Yeah, no, I'd love to share them. So on March 28th, we're hosting a young men's summit at St. Joe's University in Philadelphia. And the whole goal of this event is to help guys advance their career, build momentum in their fitness, and also create connections with people and businesses that will push them forward in life. That's the whole goal of this event. And the and the reason we're doing it now and the why behind it is we are observing and have been observing, but largely neglecting, the declining outcomes for younger guys for years now. And this is a local practical response to those outcomes. We want, you know, the people, me and the people I'm working with on this event, we want stronger families, we want stronger communities, and we want a stronger country. And young women and women are doing good in terms of home ownership, uh, economic mobility, uh, higher education, and there's nothing that is wrong with that. Simultaneously, we need all we need to make sure that we're applying resources to the other side as well, or applying attention to the other side as well, at a minimum, because a rising tide lifts all boats, basically. So we want to help young men so we can help. You know, pretty much as an extension, help the families, help the community, and help the country.

SPEAKER_01 19:36

I think that there's a larger extension of what you said because as a you know, when it comes to a guy like uh or a young man, at some point society says you just have to kind of figure it out, and there's less of a uh it's almost like frowned upon if a guy still needs help at a certain age or hasn't figured things out. And I I I mean it's no secret, like John Wayne or or Rocky or you know, or you know, even modern times like Floyd Mayweather or Conor McGregor. Yeah. Like they're supposed to be like, hey man, you I don't need no help. I can, you know, I I can figure this out on my own. So that's been permeated through society in the thought process, and those guys who don't have those either those skills or that drive get left behind. Whereas, you know, and I'm not saying this negatively, women just may get more attention because obviously, you know, you know, you're being more sensitive because it could be a female potentially. So you're like, okay, let's let's figure things out emotionally. A guy's not supposed to cry, right? A guy's not supposed to feel sad. He's supposed to, if he gets sick, he's supposed to plow through it, you know. And so I think that an event like this can sit back and say, hey, you know, there your needs do matter and you do have value, and it's not in the traditional sense that society has taught you.

SPEAKER_00 20:45

Precisely. And I think a one big thing with guys is no one wants to feel like a charity case, no one wants to feel like a problem that they are now burdening others with. And that's not what we're doing. Everyone who walks into that event is a capable individual, and we just want them to realize that. We want them to leave with a fire in them that they don't think it's just important but necessary to go out and do something with themselves, whatever that may look like for them. Not only for their benefit, but as we said, the extension and benefit of for their families, their community, and this country. Because as I also mentioned earlier, it's it's not enough for a guy just to live. He has to understand what he lives for.

SPEAKER_01 21:23

I didn't catch the name of the event that specifically this is going to be called.

SPEAKER_00 21:26

Forging your future.

SPEAKER_01 21:28

Okay, forging your future. And that's that's very powerful. That's are do you guys plan on if it does successfully to go to other cities and locations?

SPEAKER_00 21:35

I would love to, man. I'll be honest with you. I'll be honest with the audience who's listening right now. When I moved home, like I started this coaching business that you know focused on kind of like fitness and behavioral change, but I wanted to get more involved in the community, and it's so easy just to go later. You know, wait till you get settled. Wait till you get settled. But I think as Tony Robbins said, like, if you won't give 10 cents when you have A dollar, you won't give a million when you have 10. So my thing is like if you want to do something right now, if this is actually important to you, go out and do it. And we don't know how this event's gonna go. It could blow up in our faces, you know, get lackluster for now. Who knows? But yeah, that's life, and then you deal with those lessons and again and you move forward. But I if this does go the way I intended to, and we intended to, this could yeah, bring it to other cities, bring it to other countries. The UK and Australia are also observing similarity from that. Yeah, yeah. And I'm a big like I care about my country, so I would definitely prioritize the cities in this country first. But yeah, that is, yeah, we don't want this just to be a one-off, I would say. We have to figure out how we sustain this because it's a lot of work to put this all. Of course. But we we want to do this again. If we want to provide value, we want to reverse some of the trends that we're seeing.

SPEAKER_01 22:50

Well, you know, statistics and data don't lie. You know, it's always just like it's like the scale, you know, you can lie to yourself until you look in the scale and look in the mirror, right? Because that's it's just the truth, right? And so I think that from the outside looking in, you know, whatever could be the pretty picture, you know, when you start diving into data and numbers, you know, you start seeing some trends and some things that clearly you saw you weren't happy with yourself. And I'm sure when you talked around enough and you start, you said, Man, there's a lot more people that feel like this than I thought, and you decided to act on it. And you know, I'll tell people, full disclosure, don't just go to an event like that, get a nice suit, get a haircut, take the business cards, and then a week later, you know, the the nice computer business bag you bought still has the tag on it. The business cards have never been opened, right? It it it you really have to actually, when nobody's looking, be working on the things that you say. You you can't just listen to a nice speech, get pumped up, and then go back home and go right back to what you were doing.

SPEAKER_00 23:46

100%. And that's why I don't think I really used intentionally the word motivation because I think motivation is great. I love it, but at the same time, it's kind of cheap. It's it comes and goes. I want people to gain clarity in in their lives in a way. And like, what do I really who do I want to be? What do I want to be like? How what are the some of the words that I want I would want people to use when thinking about me? Now you should orient yourself around others, but like what are some characteristics that I admire? So it's really about the clarity and the momentum here. And I do want to touch on one thing you said too, Rashad, when it came to the data and people not being really familiar with this issue. Part of that comes from like the guys that we're talking about who really need this help the most too, they have resigned from life. They're not in relationships, they're not going to they're not working out. They are they may have a job, but it's a part-time job at a local grocery store, and that's something wrong with that inherently, but it's the whole attitude, this it's this apathy towards life. Like, if the game is built against me, then why even bother? And to be frank, too, like due to the cultural norms that our society popularizes, it is totally okay to degrade guys. You see the Lulu, I don't know what the brand is, it's called the Lulu, and they put out these shirts and be like, I'm a boyfriend beater. That's just okay. And I'm not one to censor people, I'm a big First Amendment guy, but at the same time, the hypocrisy in that shirt being sold is insane to me. And then you have toxic masculinity, it's like vague, ambiguous term that people use to degrade men, just uh willy-nilly, and then you have a whole bunch of other terms too. And that that all kind of comes or leads to people feeling like, well, if everyone hates my existence as a man because of this collective guilt that has been assigned to me as an individual, why do I even bother? I should just go home, play video games, watch porn, and do whatever else, and not even play the game of life. And that needs to end.

SPEAKER_01 25:43

I think that the number one thing is that being on the sidelines, right, and and letting yourself kind of melt away, you know, it's it's it's I don't want to say this in in a in a in a because I want to be sensitive about this, but it's like a slow suicide, it's like a slow suicide, right? It it really is. And it's it's and I again, you know, mental health is real, so I don't want to paint a broad picture of anybody's condition or medical status that they're dealing with. But I think that if you're going to be because there's a large wave of people that are going to be either that that the baby boomer group between you know 50 and 60, they were born in the 50s and 60s, uh retired or or slowly passing away, sadly. So there's another void that they're seeking talent to be able for people to be productive members of society. And if there's a large generation of primarily men who you're dealing with, that you see that aren't you know either A, have the tools or B haven't been uplifted, your organization, I'm hopeful, can help that to reverse those, and I hope you can bring it to other cities and locations. And I'm looking forward to you customizing it to each location.

SPEAKER_00 26:49

Yeah, no, that would be fantastic. That is the goal to be able to replicate this in a sustainable fashion. Right.

SPEAKER_01 26:54

And that's and that's powerful stuff, you know. And like I said, you know, it's the social media is a powerful thing. You know, I'm not trying to go viral. You know, we're not dumping on anybody on this episode, by the way. So, you know, Dan and his organization are here to help. And, you know, we're not perfect, I'm not perfect. You know, I look in the mirror and I'm like, I gotta suck the stomach in a little bit because you know, just keeping it real. Like I work out, but like, you know, it's hard to get a six-pack. You know, you're it's it's hard, man. You know, so yeah, anything that can assist with people being successful is why this show exists, right? And talk to people such as yourself. So for the purpose of this show, you obviously do really well without me. Where can people find Dan Corcoran?

SPEAKER_00 27:33

Social media gonna be best. Dan Corcoran28 is my username. That's where you can connect with me. That's where I put up uh content about this men's summit and the work we're doing there, as well as my training and nutrition uh side of the business as well. It's all really meant to be helpful stuff and and help people, whether it's on the nutrition and training side of things or raise awareness about this young men's summit that we're hosting this March 28th at St. Joe's.

SPEAKER_01 27:58

And I want to tell people that it's just as important to take care of your body as it is your professional development, because like if you start letting yourself go, which you know, things happen, life happen, kids stress, you know, um, it's okay to have like a like a two-month binge and kind of you know, but it can't turn into a two-year, you know. I mean, like at some point, like you, you know, how you look can be a reflection of how you behave and how you actually it can it can close doors on you in irregardless of your talent because then it'll look like you're not taking care of yourself, right? And that's just a hundred percent. It's just the truth. It's it's it's you know, it impacts various levels of your well-being. It's not narcissistic to say you should look you should try to look good.

SPEAKER_00 28:36

You know, no, you should want to feel capable and confident.

SPEAKER_01 28:39

Nothing wrong with that at all. Without question. So I would love to promote this event more through the podcast. So if there's anything you want to share that we can make some social media clips to assist you with that in the greater Philadelphia area, I'd be happy to have that at the show. So we can perfect. I'll yeah, we'll be in touch. Yeah, we can do some commercials and stuff in between then. So I want to thank everybody. You very much, this is a really, really great episode because I think that this resonates with the audience really well, and I'm very much grateful for you being on the Random Some Nothing podcast.
