I'm your host, Chris Lee, a serial entrepreneur with a passion for building and growing businesses. Over my career, I've founded multiple nine-figure ventures, and now, I'm eager to share the invaluable lessons I've learned with you. This podcast isn't just for entrepreneurs; it's for anyone seeking inspiration from the incredible stories of individuals who have triumphed over immense challenges to create something truly remarkable. In this episode, I have the pleasure of welcoming Mr. Dan Caldwell, a true rockstar entrepreneur and co-founder of Tapout. Before becoming a renowned entrepreneur, Dan's path led him to a career in law enforcement. However, his passion for entrepreneurship always lingered in the background. He and his partner stumbled upon the exciting world of mixed martial arts (MMA) and saw the potential for creating a brand that caters to the rising demand for MMA merchandise. The journey to success was no smooth ride. Dan and his partner hustled tirelessly, maxing out credit cards, and living on the edge to keep their business afloat. They saw potential in The Ultimate Fighter, a reality show centered around UFC fighters, and took bold actions to get their brand in front of the right people. Their ingenious tactics paid off, and Tapout skyrocketed to prominence when their logo was prominently featured on the broadcast, reaching millions of viewers. Join us as we dive into the fascinating world of entrepreneurship and meet the remarkable founders who have shaped it today. Get ready to be inspired, motivated, and equipped with invaluable insights from one of the most inspiring entrepreneurs of our time. Let's dive in and uncover the true essence of what it takes to build an empire from scratch. HIGHLIGHTS "We saw the potential in mixed martial arts. It was more than just a sport; it was a culture waiting to be embraced." "Entrepreneurship is about taking calculated risks and being willing to bet on yourself when no one else will."

In this episode of the Founder Podcast, host Chris Lee interviews Dan Fleyshman, the youngest founder of a publicly traded company in history. Dan shares his entrepreneurial journey, starting from his early success in the apparel industry to launching an energy drink brand and later an online poker site. He discusses the challenges and opportunities he encountered along the way, including going public and dealing with the legalities of online gambling. Dan emphasizes the importance of networking and building meaningful relationships. He advises entrepreneurs to go beyond superficial interactions and find common ground with people to create an emotional connection. He also stresses the need to maintain communication with contacts before making any business asks. The conversation delves into Dan's experiences in the online poker industry, particularly during the time when the FBI shut down several major poker sites in the United States. Dan shares how he had to manually pay back thousands of players and ultimately decided to close his own site due to the uncertain legal landscape. Despite the setbacks, Dan went on to become a consultant for Morgan Stanley and land consulting gigs with land-based casinos in Las Vegas. He shares his strategies for success, highlighting the importance of learning from others who have already achieved what you aspire to do. HIGHLIGHTS "I started researching everything about poker sites, like I was playing every site, asking every question, talking to executives, talking to the licensing people." "If you notice, people always ask, Where are you from? That's to find something relatable." "So once I had the 1500 bucks, I was like, That's it. I'm going to retire. It's over. I already know what I'm gonna do for the rest of my life."
