The Mile Extra

#9 Dan | From a $500 Bet to a $350,000 win!

The Mile Extra

Show Notes

Daniel has spent more than 15 years building businesses in the supplement industry, importing and distributing some of the biggest international brands across New Zealand.

In this conversation, Daniel and I talk about business, calculated risk, sports betting, the supplement industry, work ethic, sacrifice, and what it takes to keep adapting when markets change.

Daniel also shares some pretty wild stories from the sports betting side of his life — including turning a $500 bet into $25,500, making serious money across NRL and netball markets, and eventually landing a $350,000 win.

We also get into how he used some of those winnings to help fund his business, the importance of taking calculated risks, building around your strengths, sacrificing short-term comfort, and why it’s okay not to follow the normal path.

If you’re interested in business, entrepreneurship, sports betting, risk, supplements, or building something over the long term, there’s plenty in this one.
