Danny 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.

Kwame Christian, a first-generation Caribbean American from Tiffin, Ohio, transformed his life through a negotiation course in law school, revealing that negotiation is a learnable skill. This discovery led him to excel in negotiation competitions, win national awards, and ultimately found the American Negotiation Institute.

As a LinkedIn Top Voice, Kwame partnered with LinkedIn to create the platform’s only negotiation certificate program — a certificate that has been earned by more than 30,000 negotiators worldwide to date.
