Lead by Example: Danny Li on Humility, Mission, and the Making of a Leader
Manage episode 508866223 series 3688949
In this episode of Beyond the Pitch, Tim Roper sits down with Danny Li, host of The Danny Li Podcast, to explore leadership through the lens of military wisdom and real-world practice. Danny shares his journey from immigrating from Ukraine to building a fast-growing show that features generals, admirals, and public servants. He opens up about how mentorship from senior officers shaped his five- and ten-year goals, why true leaders put team and mission first, and how humility, discipline, and trust translate directly into business.
You will hear how Danny booked his first two-star general, built systems for consistent production, and grew his audience from a few hundred to over 20 thousand. Tim and Danny dig into the overlap between military and business leadership, handling pressure without panic, creating shared values, and starting with self-awareness before leading others. They also talk about love of country, unity across differences, and the legacy Danny hopes to leave as a storyteller who brings people together.
