Daily Dose Of Integrity New full length video out today! Most people think decision making is a conscious act of free will—that we weigh up the options and deliberately choose our path. But neuroscience tells a different story. Every decision you make is influenced by your genetics, upbringing, culture, mood, even the temperature of the room. What feels like “choice” is often just the sum of countless hidden factors guiding you. That’s why we sometimes find ourselves repeating mistakes, sabotaging relationships, or wasting time in ways we know are destructive. It’s not because you’re weak—it’s because subconscious forces are running the show. The good news? You can train your brain to make better decisions over time. By reflecting honestly on past choices, journaling, and reviewing your behavior with curiosity (not judgment), you reprogram your subconscious to steer you toward better outcomes in the future. In this video, I break down why free will is an illusion, why your bad choices aren’t really your fault, and—most importantly—how you can influence your future behavior to live with more confidence and integrity. 💬 Question for you: What’s one “bad” choice you’ve repeated in your life, and what do you think was really driving it?

Hey everyone Today marks my 12th anniversary as a full time confidence coach. Well, I think it’s today but can’t be sure exactly. Anyway… In case I don’t do this often enough, I want to thank all of you who read my newsletters or watch my videos or listen to my podcast etc. - your support allows me to do what I love for a living. Prior to being a coach, the longest I’d last in a position/job was about 12 months before I got bored and either moved on or tried to get promoted. I guess that means I’ve found my thing! It was hard going at the beginning. I started doing it on the side of my regular job for about 8 months, then took the leap and went full time. The first few years were rocky financially and I worked way too hard and was pretty stressed out a lot of the time. Then things smoothed out over time, and now I only get stressed when I’m self-sabotaging. The business itself is now well established, with a core audience (you guys) who are enthusiastic about living with integrity. I used to dream of changing the world, but that was just egotistic bullshit. I’ve finally learned that I should consider myself lucky to even slightly influence a couple of people towards being more confident. It takes everything I’ve got just to coach a few guys and girls to becoming self-confident and living with integrity, and I’ve learned to appreciate that and stay focused on my little tribe. To my paying clients and customers, you allow me to do this work full time and put food on my table and support my family. I never lose sight of my appreciation for you. Not just for the cash you fork over, obviously, but for allowing me to have a privileged position in your life, for your trust and honesty and bravery. You take a risk when you let me influence you, and I’m humbled that you’d allow me to effect the direction your life takes. Most of my own self-development has come from being a coach, because I’m regularly inspired and shamed by my work with clients into holding myself to a high standard. When I first started coaching, I considered myself more “advanced” than my clients. The level of confidence in my clients has since improved dramatically, and now I regularly find myself challenged to live up to the same standards you guys live by.

Hey guys, A few years ago, inspired by Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations", I wrote a book of short Lessons I've picked up from my time as a coach and running Brojo. If you'd like a copy of this book, type "Lessons" into the comments below and I'll DM it to you Cheers Dan

Hey guys, new merch is ready!

Vote now for which options you want!

Thanks for all your feedback! Really helped clarify this. This final design represents Plato's philosopher king, a Stoic, a man who takes his principles seriously. Merchandise coming soon...
