The Podcast with Dana Flanagan

Live Loudly.

Because playing small is boring.

Bold conversations. Big ideas. Unconventional paths.

Stand Out Loud goes beyond the polished version of success to uncover what it really took to get there. Hosted by entrepreneur, strategic advisor and international speaker Dana Flanagan.

About the Show

This isn't another highlight-reel podcast.

We want the story behind the story.
  • The ambition behind the success.
  • The money behind the decisions.
  • The relationships that opened, or closed, doors.
  • The risks that paid off.
  • The ones that didn't.
  • The pivots nobody saw coming.
  • The mistakes nobody posts about.
  • The defining moments when one choice changed everything.

Success is rarely a straight line. And the most interesting people rarely follow the obvious path.

The Conversations

The things people actually want to hear about.

Business, money, ambition, relationships, opportunity, reinvention, failure, success and the decisions that shape a life.

01

Some guests have built companies.

02

Some have built fortunes.

03

Some have lost everything and built again.

04

Some have changed industries, careers or entire identities.

05

Some simply have a story so damn interesting it deserves a bigger conversation.

What matters isn't the title. It's whether there's a story worth telling.

Dana Flanagan

Dana Flanagan is an entrepreneur, strategic advisor, international speaker and the founder of The Authority Architect and Capital Society.

With more than 25 years of experience across business, real estate, capital, media and strategic relationships, Dana has built a career around seeing what other people miss: the opportunity, the relationship, the angle and the unrealized value hiding in plain sight.

She has hosted and produced television, appeared on more than 350 podcasts, spoken internationally and spent decades in rooms with entrepreneurs, investors, executives and business leaders.

But Stand Out Loud isn't about interviewing résumés. Dana wants the conversation underneath the résumé.

The moment everything changed. The bet you made on yourself. The thing that almost broke you. The opportunity you nearly missed. The decision everyone questioned. And what you know now that you couldn't have known then.

We're looking for people with something real to say.

Founders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, investors, executives, creators, authors, athletes, innovators, industry leaders, or fascinating humans who have lived an extraordinary chapter.

You don't need a perfect story. Actually, we'd rather you didn't have one. We're interested in the pivots, risks, reinventions, wins, losses and unconventional decisions that shaped who you became.

If that sounds like you, tell us a little about yourself.
