What does it take to stay strong, sharp, and healthy for life?
In this episode of The Greatness Machine, fitness entrepreneur and transformation coach Dan Go joins Darius to share how discipline, mindset, and strength training can change not just your body, but your entire life. From quitting his corporate job to building a 7-figure coaching business, Dan breaks down the principles of lasting fitness: why building muscle is key to longevity, how nutrition is deeply psychological, and why success in health (and life) starts with consistency over perfection.
He also reveals the surprising connection between leg strength and brain power, his no-BS take on mobility work, and the “infinite game” mindset that keeps him growing no matter how far he’s come.
