Entrepreneur of the Week:

This 13-year-old kid wrote an article on Gary Vee

Resulting in a podcast appearance from Gary after 11 years.

This is the story of "The Danny Miranda Show".

Here’s his secret:

Even at 7, Danny had the mind of a storyteller…

Writing his neighborhood newsletter ‘The Sunny Times’.

By his teens? He was writing about time management with a blog at 13.

And going to media day for The New York Knicks by 15.

After countless other ventures…

He eventually found his calling with “The Danny Miranda Show”.

Starting as a simple phone recording.

It evolved quickly into a full-on video podcast.

The reason?

A throwback blog Danny wrote at 13 about Gary vee’s Wine Library TV.

When shared on Twitter, the response was overwhelming, with fans calling for Gary to jump on the show.

And as the fan favorite…

Gary came through on episode 39.

Fast-forward to today: With over three years in the podcasting game…

Danny Miranda is now becoming a household name.

Hosting guests like Sahil Bloom, Sam Parr, and even Alex Hormozi.

1/ The secret?

Research.

The goal? Know his guests before they even hit record.

  • That random fact? He knows it.

  • That vintage blog post from 2009? He’s read it.

He dedicates hours soaking up podcasts, digging up archived tweets, and more, ensuring every guest feels seen and valued.

2/ Relationships: The Real ROI

For Danny, podcasts are more than hitting 'record'…

They were bridges to future relationships.

From linking like-minded guests to appreciating someone's content, Danny is a master of details.

Letting him connect with guests like Chris Williamson

Who transitioned from a guest to a friend, mentor, and so much more.

Serving both as an inspiration and encouragement on Danny's journey to success.

3/ Advice to creators

After nearly 400 episodes, Danny's advice is crystal clear: LISTEN.

  • To yourself.

  • To your audience.

  • And most importantly, to your guest.

The secret is simple: Listen, Listen, Listen.

But, most aren’t willing to do it.

Will you?

Key Takeaways:

Reps upon reps: Put in so many reps that you know you can deliver on the promise you made.

Danny lives by this rule, doing HOURS of research, ensuring each episode isn't just good – it's gold.

Allowing him to bring on guests who’d typically be out of reach for smaller podcasts.

The one-man league: Danny isn’t about that "follow the crowd" life.

Instead of obsessing over the "perfect niche," he’s built his own.

Bringing on guests based on personal interest and inspiration…

This approach lets Danny craft episodes that are distinctively him, always fresh and unique.
