There's MORE to my life than you THINK | Dan Bilzerian

The World’s #1 Personal Development Book Podcast!
In this episode, I have the pleasure to interview author Dan Bilzerian.
As a gambling legend and Instagram king, Dan has a thing or two to say about getting what he wants-and it’s all about what he calls The Setup, also the title of his new book, a life philosophy that has helped him land fame and fortune.
We cover subjects like his anything-but-normal childhood, his time in the military, and the insanity that has followed him on his journey to becoming one of the most notorious people in the world. His book is an unapologetic memoir filled with wild stories, and Dan pulls back the curtain on what it's like to truly live the Bilzerian way: with plenty of epic moments, and no regrets.
Although today’s conversation is focused on personal development, this interview is a bit different than most of our others. It contains explicit content and if you’re not in the mood for that, you might not want to listen. Dan is unapologetically himself.
Please enjoy this amazing conversation with now author Dan Bilzerian.

    @@olivertoorich6362 There is something highly intellectual and deeply philosophical about ACTUALLY living a life that is only about excess and pleasure to test if it really is not the life to aspire too. He is really one of the only people who has actual experience on the subject.
