About your host

Danny Matharu

Actor. Model. Stable Genius. Public Figure. Social Influencer.

Not really... I'm simply someone who is interested in personal development and learning how people have become successful.

The road to success is often a lonely, narrow one, littered with mistakes, learnings, scars and disappointments.

This project is purely a selfish one. It gives me a reason to get myself in front of people who have walked the Narrow Road and learn from them. With this, I reckon that I find this type of person interesting, then other people will also.
