Insights Contributor Updated on February 20, 2026

We know that if the task was easy, everyone would be doing it; however, how do we move forward when the task is daunting and we're alone in facing it? In this week's episode, Dan Clark, CEO at Brain.fm, shares insights on how curiosity and perseverance could be game changers in your leadership.
Bio: Previously worked as a website and app developer. Switched careers from building an advertising agency and came across Brain.fm.
In his first session, he bought an account and was so excited after a week of use, he needed to be part of the company. He called 12 times. He finally got a job and worked the first month for free. Fast forward, he’s now the CEO, and 2019's Forbes 30 under 30.
Dan is always excited about how technology can change the world.
Brain.fm creates neuroscience-backed functional music to help people from around the world to focus, relax, and sleep. They do this by combining experienced musicians and patented technology to synchronize the brain’s neural activity to achieve the desired mental state… on demand.
Couple fun stats... They've had over 2 million people leverage the music and their power users report an increase in focus by up to 200%. They've been featured and shared by Forbes, Inc, Lifehacker, and more.
Dan's Something Extra: Curiosity. Being curious breeds excellence because as individuals dream up the impossible and they must follow up by asking themselves what they need to do in order to make it happen.
