Hi, my name is Dan Fleischman. I was the youngest founder of a publicly traded company,

and I'm one of The Passionate View. Hey guys, welcome to this episode of the Passionate View

podcast today. It's your host, Omar here. Thanks for tuning in. For this week's episode,

we're going to be sitting down and interviewing Dan Fleischman. He's the youngest founder of a publicly

traded company in history when he took his company public at 23 years old,

beating out Michael Dell of Dell Computers when he took his company public at 24 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Dan gets into it and how not only did he start out in humble beginnings living on the couch when he came here as an immigrant with his mom,

and out of necessity had to get several

jobs and learn how to juggle that hustle, but also how he ended up leveraging that and by the

end of his teen years had used that experience and momentum to generate millions of dollars

personally in his business and also how he partnered up and has been a serial entrepreneur,

investor, author, and world-renowned poker player,

believe it or not, as well as some of the notable businesses he started, helped run and market

that have been unbelievable in the space, things like the U-Will's Hubberboards, the Who's

Your Daddy Energy drinks, which he personally got into 55,000 stores in a very short amount of time

by hustling with his team and he gets into the

nitty-gritty of how they made that all happen. Dan also shares his impeccable philosophy on the

importance of checklists and how to get things done, as well as offers a lot of advice from some

of the obstacles and pitfalls that he learned through his journey to help you guys in yours. And also we get into

his model citizen fund, which is his nonprofit charity organization that fills backpacks with

150 items and helps the homeless people and those underprivileged year round. Also, I want to

give a special shout out to our new sponsor, SynexLink. SignXLink is an IT company that takes care of all of your IT requirements from broadband to server
