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.

5. I run a men's group...because I need one

Most men don’t talk about anything real.
We’ll talk sport, work, cars, the gym…
But the second it gets even slightly deeper, we laugh it off, change the subject, or go quiet.
So here’s the question: why don’t men talk on anything deeper than surface level?
In this solo episode, I talk about the men’s group I run, and why it’s been one of the most valuable things I’ve ever done for myself. Not because I’m some “leader of men”… but because I needed it too.
I also share what I’m building next: a new men’s group designed to get guys out of their comfort zones - adventures, challenges, and real connection. No fluff. No pretending. Just men becoming stronger together.
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve got “mates”… but no one you can actually talk to - this one’s for you.
