Welcome to The Modern Independent -- a podcast dedicated to inspiring, equipping, and empowering top independent workers to supercharge their careers and lives.

On this episode of The 7 Figure Playbook, we will be joined by guest Dan Savage.

Dan Savage is an executive coach at the Propel Performance Group, where he supports the senior leadership teams of venture-backed and private equity-backed startups around the world. He has spent his career dedicated to leading, coaching, and developing others and is passionate about pushing individuals and teams to see more in themselves than they thought possible.

Dan began his career at the US Military Academy at West Point, subsequently serving as an infantry officer on the front lines of the Iraq War, planning and executing more than 300 combat operations in Baghdad. After departing military service, Dan completed a master’s degree at Harvard University and began building organizations, programs, and resources to empower individuals facing major career and life transitions.

At Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families, he co-founded the Onward To Opportunity program, a career readiness resource for transitioning veterans which now serves 15,000 individuals per year on over a dozen military bases around the U.S. Dan subsequently led LinkedIn’s military support mission, providing career training and resources to over 300,000 veterans and military spouses over three years. Prior to joining Propel, Dan completed a tour at Sequoia Capital, managing executive education for the CEOs of Sequoia’s most promising Seed and Series A investments.

In addition to his formal education, Dan is a graduate of the US Army’s elite Ranger School, Stanford University’s Ignite Program for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and the Presidential Leadership Scholars program. In addition to being a speaker, Dan is a graduate of IndeCollective’s Fall 2022 Cohort, after which point he launched as an independent coach himself.

Digging into why, we think, every independent worker needs to get crystal clear on their 3Ls -- their living, lifestyle, and loving goals.
They’ll then discuss how they’ve gone about doing this in their own lives.
And then, leave you with a few next steps. Practical things you can do, this quarter, to set yourself up for a more successful and fulfilling year ahead.
