#20 Patrick Bet-David: Entrepreneurship, the victim mindset, and the fight to save our world

Business, Life, and Ayahuasca with Daniel Cleland

Today’s episode is particularly special to me as I reach the milestone of my 20th episode and interview my entrepreneurial mentor, Patrick Bet-David. Patrick Bet-David is a serial entrepreneur who founded and hosts the #1 channel on youtube for Entrepreneurs called Valuetainment. In addition to Valuetainment, Patrick Bet-David launched a financial firm, PHP Agency, that has over 8,000 agents in roughly 49 states. Together Patrick Bet-David and I discuss whether or not you’re born an entrepreneur, suffering consequences, the United States’ victim culture, divisions created by the media, and more.

Dan discusses the healing benefits of ayahuasca & plant medicine & his entrepreneurial journey in the plant medicine industry. He talks with top minds like Aubrey Marcus, Dorian Yates, Dennis McKenna, & Patrick Bet-David.
