Hi, I'm Dan. My passion is empowering people to talk to anyone and make new friends. I'm excited you're here and I want to teach you how to take small talk from the mundane to the meaningful.

About the Course
Do you hate small talk?
As a naturally shy guy, so did I.
I felt nervous, uneasy and just plain clueless around new people. Especially at work around "high power" managers and clients. My mind would go blank.
But I didn't know what to do about it...
...I didn't know what to say.
...I worried about boring people
...I stumbled over the very words coming out my mouth
...I felt misunderstood
And most of all, I struggled to find meaning in small talk. Talking about today's traffic or tomorrow's rain seemed so inauthentic. I longed for deep and meaningful connections with more people. Both at work and at home.
I had tons of questions.
How do I start a conversation? What do I say? Am I boring? How do I avoid awkward silences? How can I connect with someone? How do I move into deeper topics?
So I decided to figure it out.
Over the past 9 years, I've poured myself into answering these questions. I spent thousands of hours (and dollars) learning from books, experts, and psychology studies (yes I'm a nerd). Then I tested it out in the real world. By myself and with hundreds of students.
In Make Meaningful Small Talk, I'd like to share with you what I've learned.
I've taken everything I learned and simplified it.
You'll learn 3 steps to make meaningful (not boring) small talk. You'll learn the true value of small talk and how mastering it can make a huge difference. I'll guide you through starting a conversation with someone you've never met, connecting on a personal level within a few minutes, and leaving a lasting impression so that they remember you.
It's a simple framework that I wish someone taught me 9 years ago. I'm talking real, practical advice backed by science. Without the fluff and BS.
This framework will help you:
- Build deeper connections through any conversation
- Widen and deepen your friend network
- Make a good impression
- Actually enjoy yourself and have fun
- Create opportunities for success in your career and business
And I'll be there every step of the way to support you.
"Meaningful Small Talk has been a fantastic journey. The videos and the knowledge are top notch. Since I took the course I've made a lot more friends and feel a deeper connection with people. Having a detailed plan is just awesome." -Jeremiah S.
"You addressed everything that I had problems with and exposed problems I didn't even know were there. It was like an epiphany and a revelation had a baby in my head."-Shawn A.
Why should I join?
There's a lot of advice out there and it gets confusing fast.
I want to offer you a shortcut and save you years of trial and error. Could you go buy a bunch of social skills books for $60? Of course. But ask yourself this and be honest. How long have you been struggling and when's the last time you did something about it?
Using my method you never have to worry about what you're going to say next. In fact, you'll usually know exactly where the conversation will lead.
You don't have to figure it out for yourself. I did it for you. I peel back the curtain and show you the basic mechanics behind what's holding you back, how conversations work and how people connect.
So you don't have to feel awkward and clueless around new people anymore.
And you can get REAL results:
I've made friends with strangers, got promotions, and found business partners...
And it's worked for my students too. One person was invited on your by his favorite comedian. Another person built a circle of friends in a new city.
That's the power of a proven system.
Who is this course for?
Make Meaningful Small Talk is for the shy and conversationally-challenged, who want to connect with more people at work and at home.
So if you ever felt like...
- "The idea of making small talk and chit-chat with people I've never met before makes me nervous"
- "I run out of topics. I'm always nervous I won't be saying anything interesting."
- "I've been struggling with shyness all my life and lost so many opportunities in my life."
- "People think I'm just that guy that hates everyone. I'm really not."
...Meaningful Small Talk can help you.
And you'll especially love it if you need to analyze and understand things before taking action.
Who is this course NOT for?
This course isn't for everyone. If you suffer from severe social anxiety or depression, this course may not help you. It focuses on teaching social skills, which may not address deeper, more serious issues.
Also, this course is not for you if you have no desire to improve. A passion for learning and taking action is key.
