Welcome to What's Next with Eric Wood presented by Twin Spires, where we will inspire you to make your what's next in life your best yet by learning from high performers in a variety of

industries. Our next guest is Dan Oliver, better known on social media to his millions of followers

as Dano. Dan is the founder of Dano's seasoning, which is a no sugar, low sodium seasoning that I use often to cook with. So I was excited

to connect with Dan on this episode. Dan has an incredible story of perseverance where he found

himself on the verge of losing Danos just as it was gaining momentum as a company when the pandemic

started and how he pivoted to keep his dream alive. You will be inspired by his story and

love his humility and candor. We cooked ribbyes and lobster tails after we recorded this

episode and you could check out those pictures on my Instagram at Ewood 70 or on at Dano's

seasoning on Instagram, TikTok or on their YouTube channel.

to hear your intro so now they're familiar with you why don't you tell them about where you're from

and what kind of athlete you were growing up as a kid well i, I'm born and raised right here in Louisville, Kentucky.

Being an athlete as a kid, I was raised with two older brothers, two older stepbrothers, three older step sisters.

So we were always competing.

Dang.

You know, I was always getting beat up on because they got years on me.

And so I was always a super competitor.

And, you know, baseball, I made all-stars every year.

And then football, I was always, you know, one of the better athletes on the field, you know, played almost every position you could imagine.
