"I’ve had the benefit of working with a mentor for the last few years as I’ve been growing Forge. It has helped me navigate big strategic decisions, hire an A+ team, and celebrate the wins! But even when times were tough, my mentor has always truly been there, cheering us on and buckling up with us to dig in the weeds and find a path forward. I couldn’t imagine a better person to learn from, grow with, and do business with!"
"Working with a mentor is what really allowed me to be successful in my business. Dan's expertise and ability to understand people, marketing, and sales were instrumental in getting me connected with the right individuals and teaching me what I needed to know to grow a successful business. But more importantly, I learned how to be the best leader and the best human being I can be."
Dan Tyre Office Hours
Advice to Work through Obstacles
In an effort to maximize my time and help as many people as possible, I have set aside 15 days a year to meet in person, face-to-face, with anyone who would like to meet with me to help them reach their goals. We initiated this program in 2012, and it has been immensely rewarding. I've had the pleasure of meeting dozens of motivated individuals who are making significant contributions to the universe. I find it exhilarating to engage with people in person to understand their challenges, and leverage my business experience to help them move forward in a positive direction. As a business enthusiast, it's an incredibly fulfilling experience. In 2024, much of my work is conducted globally via video transmission, but there's something uniquely impactful about sitting (or standing) in the same room with another human and focusing on solving problems.
