In pain every day, I know that feeling, working on losing some weight right now. It is not an easy task!

Being real. That is STEEM to me. Not posting what you think others think you should post, but just being yourself.

Chasing Whales, following the latest trend, fighting to remain relevant? Yeah, that is Old Sarge in a nutshell. An attention hog. Then again this is an attention economy.

My agenda? Don't know? Maybe go to STEEMWORLD.ORG and check out @sgt-dan (the other Dan, though I prefer Daniel). Then you will know.

Thank you for opening up and sharing yourself with us. Wishing you blessings and groovy vibes.

Inspirational and motivational as usual. Looking forward to seeing the Part-3.

Thats great advice man, swing for the fences every time... never hold back. YOLO!!

This is pretty amazing Dan. I went back and listened to part 1 also. The more I learn about you, the more impressed I am. Steem is sure lucky to have you.

@theycallmedan, Definitely this post is perfect post for consuming Empowering Words. You've expressed with ease how simplified the life is, and people makes it complex by fearing about every simple thing.

Great to know about your Content Writing Journey brother, it's not about how good we are in particular Craft at the end of the day it's all about how much passionate we are towards something and how much efforts we are putting to Manifest it.

And one thing is for sure and that is at the end of the day we will not going to take anything with us, so we should enjoy the Now Moment and we have to take action in Now Moment without any fear.

Keep coming up with Motivating pieces brother. Stay blessed always.

That is really really great model life in Steem, forward ever and backward never. I have learnt something indeed.

Grabbed my coffee and watched it 2 times. back to back. Still can't believe that a little while before the bull run and while making that vlog all you had was 1500$.

Really glad for ya man. You've been through a lot but you've been rewarded...so that you can reward others. The circle of life...

Many people suffer, in various ways...I can tell from my personal experience...

Not everyone tho is as persistent as you were/are...nor "lucky"

You managed to squeeze in 30 mins the story of a lifetime. I am sure that there are so much more...but hey...we ain't going anywhere :P we have plenty of time :)

Interesting as always @theycallmedan. Any ideas how we can get steem on more exchanges?

I posted this trying to drum up some ideas...

https://steemit.com/steem/@jrcornel/steem-let-s-get-steem-listed-on-more-exchanges

I'd love to brainstorm on this a bit or even put together an SPS proposal to help take care of exchange listing fees.

Love to hear your thoughts.

Good to hear your story @theycallmedan, we all have a journey of discovering our true potentials, and steemit has brought the best out of many of us.

I’ve commented about this a few times already, but everytime you talk about mindset and life it is as if I hear myself thinking.

You put truths lying in the back of my mind into words.

Went back to watch your old youtube videos, right from the beginning. It’s a goldmine.

Congrats @theycallmedan for going all in right before the 2017 bull run 🙂

• I'm not a professional psychic but I highly suspect a massive run but ROUND #2 is right around the corner, or at least, near on the horizon.

I actually don't watch that much content but I thoroughly enjoy yours.

"It hurts waking up" boy I can relate. I am experiencing one of the worst periods in my life for the past year. After losing my job and getting crypto rekt I left everything and moved to another country (Sweden). Secured a decent job here but still wage slaving, feeling so empty inside. Being 33 years old in a foreign country without speaking the language and not knowing anyone is really hard on me. Never felt so lonely in my life. People I connected with at work are not really kind of people I feel fulfilled being around. I got rejected by every girl I expressed interest in. Every day I am falling in deeper hole. Feeling like a zombie. I just don't know how to pool myself out of it. I know I could put effort in learning ths language. I just can't motivate myself to do it. I also love poker like you. I even started some program online to teach me how to grind, but my emotions are running wild. I just don't feel like I want to be alive anymore. I just want this pain to end.... I don't even know how I got to this point. I used to be positive and fight despite all the shit that happened to me. But now something just isn't right. I don't know what is wrong with me.

Overcoming Adversity Through Mindset and Action

In this episode, Dan reflects on his personal journey of overcoming significant challenges, both physically and financially. He describes 2016 as a difficult year for his poker career, as his weight gain at the time was negatively impacting his performance. Weighing over 300 pounds, Dan felt trapped and knew he needed to make a drastic change.

Transforming Through Fasting and Fitness

Motivated by his father's encouragement to do the "right thing", Dan decided to take control of his health. He embarked on an intense fasting and fitness regimen, cutting out carbs and relying primarily on protein shakes and one meal per day. Dan's dedication paid off, as he was able to lose 100 pounds in just four months, achieving a ripped physique he had never experienced before.

Struggling Financially and Turning to Content Creation

While Dan's physical transformation was a success, his poker earnings suffered in 2017 due to his depleted bankroll. Facing financial challenges, Dan decided to take a bold approach - he started writing extensively on Quora, documenting his weight loss journey and sharing his philosophies. This led to Dan becoming a top writer on the platform, gaining over 4 million views for his content.

Embracing Cryptocurrency and Launching a YouTube Channel

Seeking new opportunities, Dan then turned his attention to the emerging cryptocurrency space. He began exploring platforms like Steem and Golos, earning digital assets through content creation. This experience inspired Dan to launch his own YouTube channel, "TheyCallMeDan", where he shared his insights and experiences in the crypto world.

Developing a Fearless Mindset

Throughout his journey, Dan has cultivated a fearless mindset, believing that life is a "free gift" and that one should not hold back due to fear of failure or judgment. He emphasizes the importance of taking action, seizing opportunities, and not letting limitations or labels define one's potential. Dan's unwavering determination and willingness to take risks have been instrumental in his personal and professional growth.

Reflecting on Past Successes to Inform the Future

Dan values the process of documenting his journey through content creation, as it allows him to reflect on his past experiences and mindset. He believes that understanding the mindset that enabled his past successes is crucial for continued growth and improvement. By revisiting his early videos and writings, Dan is able to identify the core principles that have guided him to where he is today.
