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.

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.
