She is an “ambassador for the unlikelies,” which she describes as those who have goals but fear they don’t fit the mold to achieve them. Dana uses her humorous adventures in taking ill-planned, unconventional routes to many of her dreams to encourage audiences to stop talking themselves out of things because they feel they aren’t “enough” — young enough, old enough, thin enough, rich enough, etc.
Dana is a strategic communications professional with 20 years of experience in the government and military arena. She has served as a trusted advisor to senior leaders in elite special operations commands, government agencies, and Fortune 100 corporations.
A combination of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) and blind optimism has led Dana to:
• working at the White House with no prior relevant experience;
• becoming an international #1 best-selling author with no prior publishing
experience;
• becoming a naval officer at 30+ years old with no prior military experience
• serving overseas in uniform alongside green berets and Navy SEALS;
• event planning for the President of the United States;
• briefly working as a roadie for a bluegrass band; and
• serving as a one-time “security guard” for Bill Gates, among many other things
Dana believes you don’t need an elaborate plan or to take a conventional route to reach a goal. You just have to be honest about what you want and jump in right where you are today.
