Daniel has spent more than 15 years building businesses in the supplement industry, importing and distributing some of the biggest international brands across New Zealand.In this conversation, Daniel and I talk about business, calculated risk, sports betting, the supplement industry, work ethic, sacrifice, and what it takes to keep adapting when markets change.Daniel also shares some pretty wild stories from the sports betting side of his life — including turning a $500 bet into $25,500, making serious money across NRL and netball markets, and eventually landing a $350,000 win.We also get into how he used some of those winnings to help fund his business, the importance of taking calculated risks, building around your strengths, sacrificing short-term comfort, and why it’s okay not to follow the normal path.If you’re interested in business, entrepreneurship, sports betting, risk, supplements, or building something over the long term, there’s plenty in this one.🎙️ The Mile Extra with Brent Henry — Health, Wealth & HappinessThe hard way is the easy way.📧 Subscribe to The Mile Extra newsletter for a new episode every Monday, plus one practical takeaway you can use to improve your health, build wealth and live a happier life:https://themileextra.beehiiv.com/

🏠 Jeremy Field, better known as The No BS Property Guy, joins me for a wide-ranging conversation about property investing, leverage, risk and making better decisions.In this episode, we discuss why not every rental property is necessarily a good investment, how emotional attachment can affect investment decisions, and why investors need to look objectively at what their equity is actually doing.Jeremy also explains how leverage can accelerate wealth creation, why your first rental probably shouldn’t be your riskiest investment, and why more established investors are often in a better position to take on higher-risk opportunities.We also get into cash flow, capital growth, decision-making, the paradox of choice, surrounding yourself with people further ahead than you, and why big goals become easier when you break them down into smaller actions.A big thank you to Jeremy for sharing his knowledge and experience so openly.📧 Join The Mile Extra newsletter:https://themileextra.beehiiv.com/The Mile Extra explores health, wealth and happiness through conversations with people prepared to go the extra mile.Building New Zealand’s biggest podcast the hard way, one episode at a time.
