What happens when the person you trust most to guide your success ends up leading you to lose everything?

For Daniel Wood, that nightmare became reality. He lost his business, his marriage, and his home; all because he followed the wrong mentor.

But out of that devastating experience came clarity, purpose, and a mission. Daniel didn't just rebuild his life—he rebuilt his entire approach to success. Today, as the CEO and Co-Founder of the Swedish Wealth Institute, he connects ambitious entrepreneurs with some of the world's most respected mentors and thought leaders, including Robert and Kim Kiyosaki, Les Brown, Jack Canfield, Nick Vujicic, John Assaraf, and Brian Tracy.

Through his own story of failure and redemption, Daniel exposes the hidden pitfalls of "toxic mentorship" and shares the principles that helped him rise again—stronger, wiser, and grounded in truth.

If you've ever been burned by bad advice, overwhelmed by self-doubt, or unsure who to trust on your entrepreneurial journey, this conversation will hit home. You'll learn:

• How to recognize red flags before you invest in the wrong mentor.

• Why integrity and alignment matter more than influence or fame.

• How Daniel transformed loss into leadership—and built a global movement that's helping others find freedom through mentorship done right.

This episode is your blueprint for discernment, resilience, and rebuilding your life when everything falls apart.

Listen now to discover how the wrong mentor nearly destroyed Daniel's life—and how he turned his greatest loss into his greatest legacy.
