Innovative Strategies to Design Your Life and Business with Dan Martell

THE ED MYLETT SHOW

How To Turn Your Darkest Moments Into a Life of Success

This interview is going to shake your perspective on what’s possible in life. My guest today is Dan Martell, a guy who went from being on the brink of destruction to building a multi-million dollar empire. We're talking about a man who, at 16, was ready to end it all—literally staring down the barrel of a gun. And yet, through sheer will and a few pivotal moments, he transformed that darkness into an extraordinary life of wealth, success, and fulfillment.

In our conversation, Dan opens up about his past like never before. From growing up in a broken home to running from the law, he shares how one roadblock—and a stuck gun—gave him a second chance at life. What’s truly incredible is that Dan didn’t just survive his darkest moments. He used them as fuel to build a life he could’ve never imagined. Today, he’s a highly successful entrepreneur, best-selling author, and someone I’ve had the honor of coaching personally.

But this isn’t just about Dan’s story of survival. It’s about the lessons he’s learned along the way. We dig deep into how he developed the resilience and mindset to go from nothing to a nine-figure net worth, the tactics he used to “buy back” his time, and the emotional and mental work that allowed him to become the man he is today. Dan didn’t just learn how to run a business—he learned how to live a life of purpose, balance, and unlimited creation.

Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:

• The pivotal moments that saved Dan’s life and changed his trajectory forever.
• How to "buy back your time" and avoid becoming a prisoner to your own success.
• The role of faith and how it has been a guiding force in Dan’s journey.
• Why emotional control is the key to thriving in business and life.
• Practical steps to break free from the past and design a future you’re proud of.

Dan’s journey from the edge of despair to living a life of abundance is proof that no matter where you start, you have the power to create something extraordinary. His story will move you, and the lessons he shares are ones you can apply to your own life, starting today.

Tune in, get ready to be inspired, and remember—you’re only one decision away from completely changing your life.
