Season 3, Ep. 20: How can we set boundaries when negotiating?
1w ago00:24:27Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailDanny M. Goldberg is a serial entrepreneur, speaker, and author of the leadership book “A Little Bit Asshole.” He is the founder of multiple ventures including GoldSRD (staffing, executive recruiting, and professional development), Crowne Cloth (a luxury lifestyle brand), DCL Cards (sports collectibles), Lyke-Me App (dating application) and GoldTM (ATM and vending services).Danny’s work focuses on leadership, assertiveness, entrepreneurship, and the balance between empathy and decisiveness in business. His philosophy challenges the idea that success requires being ruthless—arguing instead that the most effective leaders learn how to be just assertive enough to get results while still earning respect.Through his speaking, consulting, and podcast appearances, Danny shares practical lessons from building businesses, navigating leadership challenges, and developing the confidence needed to succeed in modern workplaces.Author, A Little Bit of A$$hole | littlebitahole.com | dgoldberg@goldsrd.com | 2145148883Sign up for one of our negotiation courses at ShikinaNegotiationAcademy.comThanks for listening to Negotiation with Alice!
