Dan Waldschmidt Biography

Since birth, Dan Waldschmidt has been refusing to accept business as usual.

Sure, he had a lawn mowing business at 12, but he turned it into a money-making machine (though he opted not to tell his mom about his increased profits).

He ran track like plenty of other kids, but he pushed himself to break his high school’s mile record. He got the usual entry-level job right out of college, but then he changed the sales process, earned millions of dollars for the company, and became CEO by the time he was 25. Waldschmidt's early feats set the stage for his later work as a business strategist and speaker, known for his unconventional approach and dynamic presentation style.

Nowadays, Waldschmidt helps companies around the world arrive at business-changing breakthrough ideas by moving past outdated conventional wisdom, social peer pressure, and the selfish behaviors that stop them from being high performers. A popular speaker and business strategist, he is also an ultra-runner. His best-selling book "EDGY Conversations: How Ordinary People Can Achieve Outrageous Success" explores high performance and success through 1,000+ stories and case studies.

The Wall Street Journal calls his blog, "Edgy Conversations," one of the Top 7 sales blogs on the internet. He has been featured in Business Week, INC Magazine, Business Insider, and on dozens of radio programs. Hundreds of his articles on unconventional business strategy have been published. His keynote program, "The 'IF' Factor," discusses living a high-performance life, focusing on deliberate activities, leveraging technology, and being uniquely valuable. His speaking engagements cover a wide range of topics including business growth, leadership, motivation, and sales, equipping audiences with valuable life lessons and practical strategies for personal and professional success.

If you want to catch up with Waldschmidt, you’ll probably need to lace up some running shoes and hit the road. He’s the energetic individual running against traffic. In the meantime, read his blog, send him an email, or ask him for help. Whatever you do, seize the opportunity to engage with his transformative ideas.
