Podcast

Daniel went from jumping on classroom tables and getting detention for wanting attention to impacting millions of lives in his underwear.

He went from being completely invisible with no online following to growing his podcast to over 250,000 downloads, interviewing billionaires and world class leaders and becoming an international bestselling author in less than 2 years. As a top ranked podcast host he got sick and tired of getting crappy guest pitches from overpriced, lazy PR agencies, so he decided to launch Gefen Media Group – a podcast guest booking agency which helped influential authors sell millions of books by guesting on top rated relevant podcasts.

Seeing a gap in the market for people who couldn’t afford to hire a booking agency, he launched Podbooker – a platform for guests and hosts to easily connect.

“The biggest impact on a company’s culture is the behavior of its leaders.”

Working with many diverse startups and corporations over the last 25 years, Claire experienced that most companies fall apart once they start to scale. As a solution to this business time bomb, she created the ’Whirlpool Effect’ – a revolutionary way to align your leaders and teams around a unifying vision that attracts, retains and motivates the right talent to achieve your mission. Claire’s simple yet powerful process is helping many companies find and fix bottlenecks that are choking their business performance so they can rapidly scale without the growing pains. It’s time to grow into the leader your people can’t wait to follow.

Now I create solutions to benefit the nonprofit sector. My passion has always been to empower others to impact their world: “Unleash your inner hero!”

My family’s involvement in the community and as advocates for foster and adoptive parenting, along with my successful consultancy in founding and fundraising for nonprofits, make my foray into software and solutions for charities a natural.

From 2004 to 2011, I performed high-dollar fundraising and ran special projects across the U.S. for a national grassroots issue advocacy organization, while serving as Executive Director for two state-level groups. During this time I served as a senior adviser or chief evangelist for numerous marketing, issue advocacy, public policy and public officeholder campaigns.

Having organized successful 1st Amendment litigation in state and federal courts, I am proud to have also become a sought-after adviser on free speech and civil liberties issues.

My key strengths include vision, copywriting, marketing (direct and online), and sales. I earned a B.A. from Rutgers University in History/Political Science, cum laude.

Most people have been burnt at least once by an SEO agency.

While working at a large hedge fund, Chris noticed that the agencies they were working with lacked transparency and were not focused on results.

Realising there were very few credible people in the space, he decided to leave the finance space to help companies grow through smart technology.

Today, his growth focused agency ‘My SEO Sucks’ has helped clients generate tens of millions of dollars a year and has one of the lowest churn rates in the industry (2-3% a year).

In his spare time, Chris created the world’s largest cardboard beach (interesting story)…
