Under The Hood
Under The Hood is a podcast about what actually makes people tick.
Dan sits down with thinkers, builders, creatives, and everyday high performers to explore the beliefs, habits, decisions, and inner frameworks that shape their lives.
Some episodes are deep, honest solo reflections.
Others are long-form conversations that go beneath the surface to uncover how people think, act, and evolve.
Just real conversations, practical insight, and unfiltered lessons you can apply to your own life.
If you’re interested in personal growth, mental models, self-mastery, and understanding the human operating system → this podcast is for you.

4. How Limiting Beliefs are Formed

Most limits aren’t real.
They’re learned.
In this solo episode, I break down how limiting beliefs are formed - and why the biggest chains in your life are usually the ones you can’t even see.
I tell the story of how circus elephants are trained: when they’re young, they’re chained and they fight until they realise they “can’t” break free… then years later, even when they’re strong enough to rip the chain apart, they don’t even try.
That’s exactly how most people live.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, like you’re capable of more but you keep holding yourself back…this episode will help you spot the chain - and get you thinking about how you can free yourself.
