    Ep. 37 - Dan Cates
    Sep 14 2022
    Jason sits down with two-time World Series of Poker Champion, Dan Cates- known to many as JungleMan Dan, and regarded as one of the leading poker players today. Dan recently secured one of the most coveted titles in the game for a second time in a row, as he made history by winning back-to-back $50K Poker Championship Titles, in both 2021 and 2022. This extraordinary win broke records, and totaled his live cash earnings to well above $11 million — a drastic shift from his humble beginnings working at McDonalds to offset thousands of dollars of debt.  Join us as we broach everything from the lessons Dan learned from hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro, his experience with his strip-poker-playing alter ego, and the beauty that comes along with surrendering to the flow of life. Learn more about your ad choices.
