ABOUT

SCOTT DANNER

Scott Danner is a champion of high performers — and those who strive to be the best version of themselves.

A CEO, entrepreneur, coach, consultant, and LIFE Optimization specialist, he is the author of the Amazon best-selling book Freedom Street. He hosts the podcast The High Performance LIFE for high performers in any profession.

As founder & CEO of Freedom Street Partners, Scott knows firsthand what it takes for entrepreneurs to serve their clients and make an impact in their communities while also ensuring their own freedom and happiness.

He believes we all can make a greater impact when these four critical components of our lives are focused on and in symmetry.

Scott is the definition of "High Performance" in life and business!!

Scott’s show digs deep into what it takes to have high performance life with amazing guests sharing all the tools needed.

The HPL Podcast is a wide ranging conversation about things that I didn’t expect but when we take apart this notion of LIFE, as love, impact, faith and energy, it’s well worth your time!

I just finished my interview with Scott and let me tell you,

this guy lives and breathes high performance. So if you think that you’ve got another level in your life, and this is the year that you’re going to do it, check out the High Performance Life.

I was so happy to be a guest on the High Performance Life podcast with my man Scott,

because it’s so important to learn how to love those around you to make sure that you’re maximizing your unique talents to give impact to the world and to have faith while you’re doing it and make sure you show up with energy. L.I.F.E, you got to have that all of that.

I gotta tell you, you have got to check out this podcast.

Scott is interviewing some amazing individuals and sharing information that’s going to absolutely positively improve all aspects of our life, our family, our mindset, our kids, and our legacy.

We got into deep conversation
