$100M Entrepreneur Dan Martell’s Rules for Buying Back Your Time and Why He Reflects on Death Daily

The BetterLife Podcast: Wealth | Real Estate Investing | Life

Dan Martell is a SaaS kingpin who buys a new software company every month. But as a teen, the only thing he was pursuing was a life of crime - until a stint in rehab introduced him to his first love: coding.

In this episode, Dan shares the philosophies behind his "buy back your time" approach, his top strategies for hiring and training teams, and his counterintuitive takes on parenting, fitness, and building real wealth.

Dan also talks about:
- Top mistakes founders make when hiring (and how to avoid them)
-The "train don't tell" approach to leading teams
- The 10-80-10 rule for empowering your team
- His thoughts on God, spirituality, and living a purpose-driven life
- Strategies for recruiting top talent
- Why building wealth for others is the path to true riches
- The power of constantly taking on new challenges
