In April of 2012, Me and my crew set out to test the limits of running and raising money for charity.

Manfred Gollent, CEO | Edgy Conversations
There are a few times in life when you meet someone that just blows you away (in a positive sense!). Dan is one of those people for me. A well educated, bold thinker with turbocharged energy and no fear of being undiplomatic, Dan will call things by their names in a relentless pursuit of excellence. Compromising on results is not a part of his philosophy and when he engages in something he does so without compromise, too. If you ever have a chance to see Dan speak - and he does that quite regularly - seize the opportunity as you will be in for an extraordinary treat!
