Authentic or Charlatan: Dan Pena | The $50 Billion Dollar Man | A Short Tale of Bravado and Ego
Dan Pena tells the tale of how he grew $820 into a $450 million company. This was back in the '80s and he's been teaching seminars at his 15th century Scottish castle, the Guthrie Castle, ever since. His attendees pay $20k for the seminar to learn the Quantam Leap Advantage, aka QLA, from the master himself.
Is everything as it seems with Dan Pena or is he another internet marketer selling false hope and dreams? In this video, I dissect Dan's incessant need for validation of his masculinity and ego.
Dan Pena really enjoys yelling, critiquing the masculinity of today's men, and bragging about how much wealth has been created from his former students and mentees.
All marketing material you've seen surrounding Dan Pena is false as he accumulates all of his former students and mentees net worth into his own, which is how he comes up with the numbers of him being The $50 Billion Dollar Man.
I take a deep dive into what his net worth actually may be, along with many critiques of his masculinity, teachings, and ego problems.
I hope you enjoy :)

So, basically you pay 20000 $ to be held for a week in his dungeon-castle so that this old fart will scream at you and call you names, and then somehow it will make you rich in 6-8 years...? Sounds legit..
yes that's what it is
Sign me up!
No it is over 50k and no seats available why ?
Well when thousands of people make millions for only 7 days training and 20k your courses get to be on 🔥 and his are for several years now
he did it for free for years but people didn't take it seriously so he decided to charge
If that was the case there should be a ton of kids who were treated like this from age 0-18 by their own fathers who should be trillionares. If one weekend can help imagine a lifetime!?
I'll give him one thing; he seems pretty good at marketing. He found his target group, millennials which worship money and grew up with absent fathers so they mostly relate to stereotypes of masculinity. Peña is plenty old enough to know shouting and constantly throw fits over things used to be female traits (from the original meaning of the word "hysteria"), but he sells it as a dominant trait to young people without anything to compare it with.
That's what they all are basically.They market their products, They sell. A Salesman playing with your psychology mostly...
Bingo, the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this guy’s clips is “His customers have daddy issues too...”
@@ramtins9258 in other words he's a sociopath manipulator

@@SpencerCornelia couldn't that cause him testicular cáncer?? 🤔
😂
These are great breakdowns of social media scam artists.
thanks David. In return, can you send over some beautiful Filipinas to the states?
@@SpencerCornelia haha, if only man. Trust me, it's worth you taking a trip there ✈ 😊
@@SpencerCornelia you seem to be the truly ethical exposure channel on TH-cam. Keep up the great work.
You guys are hilarious.
The logic is more than obvious and it’s pathetic.
Filipina women are (1) child-like in both physical features as well as intelligence and demeanour, and (2) exposed to vastly lower quality men in terms of wealth, status, and looks.
So basically you want to shoot fish in a barrel and you don’t want to be criticized for how weak that obviously makes you look. And I know you close your eyes and pretend there’s no downside, but I’ll get to how wilfully blind that is.
And it’s so obvious. You guys don’t care about Dan scamming anyone.. you just can’t stand the strong promotion of masculinity, because you’re living a life that embodies the opposite and it makes you feel like a pathetic loser if you don’t undermine it somehow. Because the obvious reality is that (1) he’s not forcing himself on you or anyone else, and (2) his seminars are not woo woo vague promises and slogans but instead extremely specific strategies and goals, with a high degree of relative success compared to the rest of the field. He’s not a Tony Robbins and you know it, what an absurd claim.
What’s funny is that you guys don’t see fit to hide from exposing yourselves like this. Duh! Don’t tell people you’re flying to Indonesia dummy! You gave away the whole thing.
And the reality of western guys going over for those girls is not good, I know you don’t want to consider it because you’re not much for basic logic; but eventually the market will become saturated and the women’s standard will rise to the point where (1) no similar “deal” will be available to western men in the future even if we did describe it as a deal, and worst of all (2) these women will refuse to get involved with any men from their own culture who can’t compete in the realm of wealth, status, and physicality, thus destroying their culture by preventing them from procreating together.
And this is a perfect example of the hedonistic destructiveness of these so called “progressive” ideas; like men don’t have to be men and women don’t have to be women, and that intermarriage isn’t a bad thing. It sounds nice on the face of it, but in the end what it really means is pathetic white guys cashing in on their luck of birth and completely screwing over little brown girls and guys in their own countries, as well as the women of their own nationality at home. And why? Because they’re horny, and because they can as a result of the fact that their ancestors built a culture which has uniquely allowed them to do so through wealth and status, and honestly just accident of genetic physical traits.
And what will be the obvious result? They can’t reproduce and continue their own culture because they’re corrupted by your undue and unnatural influence, and you’re own culture at home - the one which gave you the ability to go and do that - will also be destroyed by falling birth rates.
But let’s be honest, if you’re out fucking - and likely paying directly for it often enough - what look like 13 year old girls in a backwards foreign country for no other reason than “I’ve got a boner and I can”, you’re not likely about to feel shame for promoting that behaviour as somehow being good.
But regardless, you should be ashamed of yourselves. It’s one thing to have a vice, it’s another to promote them as virtues and attack good people for making you feel bad about yourselves.
@@Tehownilator that was obvious banter. Relax sometimes buddy. Don't take a lot of this stuff seriously
Remember guys: the loudest person in the room is the weaker man in the room. You can be loud in many ways; clothing, behavior, voice etc... be like a scorpion quiet, stealthy but lethal.
Agree.
the jocko comparison was perfect. the dude is calm, collected, has a good posture and stance. Dan is all bark and no bite

Stalin is a good example of this. While Hitler and Mussolini gave long ranting speeches, Stalin would not speaking in soft language and yet defeating both of them in the same war.
This guy is the definition of fragile masculinity. Damn.
I dont need to pay someone $20k to tell me to not give a damn about what people think of me personally or that I shouldn't take not getting a deal personally
that's another 20k in your pocket
@Luisa Jimenez Moreno show me ONE online ,,free" source of which's owner can say he's amassed 450M. To me, credentials say more than a planet of you barking insecure zero self-esteem bitches can ever say...
Yeah because you don’t have 20k 🤣 fucking pussy
@Luisa Jimenez Moreno Ha! Almost all of Universities in the world don't teach Mergers and Acquisitions properly. Mr. Peña has taught University in the US and in the Netherlands so he knows what they still teach. They always run some program about how you need to inject equity with your own capital when it's not required. Not even Wharton, Harvard and Stanford teaches this real stuff because they just care about running the show and this debt driven model is in their least interest in the scheme of their own personal interests. THERE IS NO SECRET SAUCE.
@Luisa Jimenez Moreno some of Dan's best students dont know him. I havent met him. Im studying his free material for about 2 years now, your point that you dont need to pay for just about everything that is free on his websitr is agreeable. However his point with the price tag is that when u pay an arm and a leg then you listen. I can also relete to that. However what you stated is correct, and in fact in Dan's recomendation. He doesnt give a fuck who comes and who doesnt. He advocates that you dont have to know anything which is just about right, to get started. Spendig money on actions is always better than spending it on seminars even if the Lord Almighty himself hosts them. Thats why Dan says u dont have to know him to succeed. Ever hard of Josh Kim? One of his students now 21, he consumed nothing but the free QLA materials and got a 30M deal done. So what your saying is indeed right. I belive it takes a special kind of desperation and an utterly miserable life to be willing to pay for what the big man gives away anyway. ,,Only idiots and poor fucks use their on money" that coming from Dan. So your right when u dont use it

Most people think like you, only a ~3% of the people can see beyond the insults and focus on the message Dan teaches to his mentees, is not meant for everyone, you're living at your 30% at most, he tries to wake you up so you can live on fire at your 101%, most people don't get the message, just like you.
@Cypher NX You can't leave your comfort zone in a comfortably way, you (or someone else) have to kick your ass badly to get out of it, because naturally we don't really want to leave our comfort zone, men unlike animals understand that you have to pay a high price to achieve your goals. I agree, however, about the happy/performance part, Dan only cares about performance, he has no live outside work, this message is not for the people seeking happy average lives, Dan's message is for the people who are willing to sacrifice a happy average life in order to achieve a "higher" goal.

@@brianchavez2829 😂😂😂
The relation between him and his followers is that of a sadist and a masochist. One loves to humiliate the other and the other loves to be humiliated. People who lack any critical thinking skills and lack the courage to do things and accept responsibility for failure tend to rally behind a strong man who needs to tell them what to do!!
This is interesting take
If you watch 2 or 3 years of his seminars on TH-cam you will see that he offends everybody but not to offend them he is doing that to change them in order to make sure that they don't give up and that they are aware that the only way to success is to perservere through anything that comes your way.
He has the greatest respect but he does you some harsh language in order to kick the ball rolling not for any other reason look through his seminars back in the nineties much softer but less result and we are talking about nineties and today on unfortunately most of the people are snowflakes for somebody to change to a man it requires that type of language now days.
Put it this way he can call you an asshole a piece of shit or anything if he makes you become a warrior and makes you millions do you really care? cause hes not trying to offend you as individual
he is going to curse at you but guess what he curses at everybody does that mean that he hates everybody no, he is just being that way I had some of my family members cursing all the time and others don't but it doesn't mean that they care less or think less of you if they cuss you out.
@@bobbysvestrazic8298 I respect that he sticks to his methods. To me, I'd much rather listen to a guy like Dan Pena who you know exactly who he is than someone who is a snake slithering in the grass and you don't find out who they truly are until you've known them awhile.
maybe, maybe not. Looks more like a drill, which is refreshing today. Couldn't pass 2-3 minutes of guys like Tony Robinson. More important question is, does his methods works, business wise, no problem with yelling.
@@territmoderitmo9190 Question isn't whether he is a method work it works 100% when you follow what he tells you level of success is questionable because a lot of people make some money and quit or go to do something else he has coached more people with success measuring a millions with video testimonies than Tony Robbins anybody or anyone in the coaching world, now is giving away his material for free you don't need to pay him anything as long as you are willing to put in the work now that speaks something about the integrity and the level of confidence that he has about his method the way I see it.
"He claims to have been this way since he was a child"... well, no wonder why he sounds like an angry toddler.
"Wah wah... Give me my milk or I'll kick you!"
Dan killed a bear with his "bare" hands. His imagination is more powerful than reality. Two hours from now, he might be the 70 trillion dollar man.
He WAS... Now he's the BILLION GAZILLION DILLION MEGATRONICGAJILLION DOLLAR MAN.
haha and by the time I saw this comment, he surpassed 80 trillion
You do realize he did stab the bear to death? He was an avid Hunter
well... you shouldn't let the truth get in the way of good story. just saying..

Zen Stiller yeah very stupid quote but hey Lets give him the credit for the good way he put words together.
He is as sensitive as a snowflake, that is his true power. His dad was hard on him and his anger acts as a mask that proves of a childhood trauma where his feelings and emotions has bin suppressed where he has bin robbed for love.

sounds like an old man broken as a child and instead of improving life, does what was done unto him, ie. "beating people up" psychologically. But looks like some people need that!
You are also right that he equates masculinity with being able to do unhuman things, like kill a bear with bare hands. That has NOTHING to do with masculinity lmao and there was a story of a woman who saved her child by picking up a car.... its about willpower, nothing to do with masculinity.
And ya, he's not genuinely confident. That comes from within and if he was genuinely confident, he wouldn't kick out or yell at people asking him basic questions.
Agreed
A person must have a low self esteem to pay the success guru Dan Pena/pain $20,000 to be yelled at, disrespected and humiliated.
not necessarily. I haven't paid him for the specific castle seminar training but there are people who pay mentors thousands of dollars. I pay a sales pro thousands of dollars a year because he is a sales expert and has proven that. Why not pay someone to help versus trying to reinvent the wheel?

That's why I started the series
They can't, its 101 marketing tactic, to NOT tell you how it really is... because if they will they would lose half or more of their clients.
Are you accountable and transparent??
His entire fucking material is online. What elae do you want?
@@SpencerCornelia you started this series because you are a coward with a keyboard.
I listened to one of his speeches on YT where he said that he's been praying for this pandemic to happen because it'll make him so much richer and how he wanted a war with Iran and North Korea. What kind of person would wish to instill so much death, pain, and suffering on others? All for what? If that's what it takes to be a rich, I think I'll pass. At Dan's age, the only coffin he should be worrying about is his own😀
There are people who will make a lot of money from those things, businesses that are open during quarantine get rich, in a war military contractors that supply and maintain all equipment get rich. Dan is none of those people, his business will be unaffected by those disasters, he is basically just flexing for no reason.
Dan sounds like a piece of shit if he really thinks like that
Wow that's actually super terrible. Who wishes for hundreds of thousands of people to die because of a disease all because he wants more money. This Dan guy is such a selfish asshole.
To be fair a war with North Korea is justified with how horrible the social tyranny reigns in that country. That place is a modern Nazi Germany
"90% balls 10% brains=Success"-Dan Pena
Also what he prefers in his mouth
I think its just 9% ball. Not balls...
Just ball.
This man monetized his temper tantrums. Thats an accomplishment.
If he had $50B USD he would be "mentoring" anyone, no time for that shit for that amount of wealth
HAHAH you don't understand..
I dont think this guy is masculine at all lmao he seems mad and unhappy all the time.
Fluke ik doesnt seem happy whats the purpose of life when u dont seem fulfiled or happy. Plus this guy is a charlatan.
He also said that he's an alpha male. No, he's not at all! He has neither the aura nor the looks. He just would like to be an alpha. That's why he talks about masculinity a lot of blablabla. He also knows his followers want to be masculine and alpha males as well, but they don't know what that means, so they are easy prey for Papito Pena.
San Hema real alpha male doesnt even think that there alpha they show it. Besides he just looks like a simp a grumpy old man.
masculine should not equal miserable
@@sanhema7681 hHahah who are you by the way? are you a ALPHA?
Military sergeants have been talking like Dan to military personnel for hundreds of years.
Dan's just making it mainstream.
The public is realizing there's nothing PC about military talk.
But Dan is more deeply concerned about the feminization of the male population than other things.
good comment
So am I. I am also concerned about people becoming more and more sensitive.
Bang on mate..im 50 born in England grew up with WW11 grandfather living next door and my father was one of the best fist fighters in a town of 750 thousand population.. the truth is snowflakes are built by the system..men make men ...the world of men have become weak liars.

Someone told that a man is someone that takes care of his family, makes an honest living, and gives more to his community than it takes from it. I was much older than i should when i heard that.
I don't really care how much he's worth, I agree that tough love does work on occasion, however, its been my experience that being somewhat compassionate goes a long way toward assisting others success. Bullying has been proven to decrease society's ability to achieve by 1/3. Imagine a company improving by 33% without bullies, every company would sign up. Still, I love that my father taught me, responsibility, duty and love.
The castle seminars are over supposedly. He’s running for Prime Minister next. Sounds like some kind of movie.
lmao interesting
Dan announced at his last non-castle seminar that he changed his mind and will resume castle seminars.
He got a standing ovation.
Sounds like some kind of nut case.
@@SpencerCornelia so Dan Pena is legit?
@@UltimateBargains He still says he will be Prime Minister on recent videos.
Everytime I watch your videos, I get a barrage of their ads lol
I honestly enjoy your video style so much. You bring up the truth to their success as well instead of just saying they're wrong here here and here. Personally, I like the real info Dan gives (not his hype up material, the actual business acumen) it's helped me personally and I've run it by individuals who have much more experience than I do and they agree to most of it and consider better than most advice.
Take it for what it's worth
Dan Pena helped me too. It's a shame his business are not truth. But his wisdom is real. I get my goals and waste less time. I understand I have to have balls and practice focus one my goal and willing power.
What’s incredible is that this guy is literally piggy backing on Dan’s successful marketing - if not outright success - in order to market what he considers to be valuable instruction. And while we don’t pay outright or as much as it costs for a seminar with Pena, he certainly is building a brand to make money on TH-cam and elsewhere.
I always find that so fascinating, you see it all the time. Recently I saw a guy “exposing” video game cheaters; and in the comments people resort to things like “well he defending himself from these claims so that means he’s guilty”, and it all ends up resting on double edged swords like, “he has an incentive to lie for personal gain”. But at that point, everything in the world is a potential scam, and any minor failing a company or person might have could be spun to look like they are running a cult, which is absurd. So there has to be some comparison, which this guy doesn’t really offer very strong evidence of. Plenty of people like Jocko and Dan; there’s no reason to see them as opposing figures. In fact, they are more similar than different if you compare them with other high performance coaches out there.
But reading the comments here, the top comment shows the guy who made this video yukking it up with another guy about going to Indonesia to fuck what look like little girls, and it was obvious to me then why he would make this video. And that is that he’s threatened by what Pena represents, and so instead of trying to address that deeper difference in values, he attacks Pena as selling snake oil; which of all people you really can’t accuse Dan Pena of.
It’s so funny because when I discovered Pena, I thought “wow what a badass, he’s not like Robbins at all, there isn’t any of that woo woo seminar after seminar crap where gullible people pay to get told that they can do anything through various euphemisms and slogans. He really closes those gates completely by making the barrier to entry so high, how could anybody accuse him of cheating people, because how stupid would someone have to be to spend $20,000 unless they knew for a fact that this is what they wanted.”
And here we are, and someone is criticizing it anyway.
A $200 seminar from a guy who’s been on Oprah and Dr Phil and every morning show in the world? Okay, I can see the snake oil claims there.
But $20k and traditionally unmarketable views and style?
How can anyone possible call that a scam?
Omg lol I heard the fart noises you put in when Dan was yelling lol
Lmao
I wouldn’t be able to go to his seminars without bursting out laughing every time he goes ham 😂😂🤣🤣
A lot of people crave this autocratic personality type, I much prefer talking with someone, rather than at someone, maybe throw in a dash of subtlety, And a lot more civility. There are lots of paths to success, this is a bumpy one imo
Another great one in this series, thank you Spencer, great job with the research
thanks for watching! glad you enjoyed it.
This video is literally about how he doesn’t like Dan’s personality and nothing much really to do weather he’s legit or not. He only says quote, “the marketing hype turns me off”. He doesn’t say he’s fake or anything like that, he even says (paraphrase) “Dan deserves recognition for the successful people he made. He just don’t like Dan’s methods of showing himself that all.
he says that his numbers of what he earned were inflated, he said that he is not implementing QLA himself (which means he makes more money from courses, which means he is not even able to implement qla himself)
If this video instilled confidence in you regarding dan Pena, then you’ve been dooped..
@@arnold2428 Huh? What you posted has no relation to your original post and my reply.

And I responded that Spencer actually said more than you claimed.
Now your further reply just seems completely off topic to your original post and my reply...
tom jens my bad, my reply was for ItzSomething
This whole “QLA Method” is nothing new. It’s called leveraged buyouts and people have been doing it from the 80s. It’s actually a difficult business model and many businesses bought using this method go bankrupt from the debt (this is how toys r us collapsed).
If you’re interested in this and don’t want to waste $20,000, just google Henry Kravis, he’s the guy that actually made leveraged buyouts popular in the first place.
Interesting, thanks for this
How can a regular guy pull off a LBO? Not realistic
@@Aman1012 Not at all. You need a good deal of experience to pull of a LBO and its still rather risky. I'm sure some first timers have pulled it off but the vast majority of people should stay clear away from it.
TheGreektrojan exactly, even with experience in finance/business, it’s incredibly difficult to pull off.
He teaches not leverage buy out, but is a roll up and it has been done since 1800 or even before by the Carnegies of the world. It is about consolidating bussineses sectors so is not risky because you only buy good bussines and make them better (of course is risky, corona killed many good bussineses don't be naive, that's bussines, if you can't handle it leave it). But that shit is hard so he help you deal with pressure, because most won't. Most will fell ofended and give up...If you are interested everything he teaches at the castle is for free when you google QLA Library. Dan explicitly explain to the atendees in the castle that they are desperate and stupid to go there when every is FREE on his site. People are buying bussineses with no money, helping boomers retire from theys mom and pops bussineses that has them tired.. then making those bussineses bigger through leadership, to sell them or to keep them... And do that shit again and again and again... What he teaches is free and good for the world dont judge just learn and pull the trigger

Whispers: metaphorically speaking😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My father was like dan and I listen to him still because my dad was hardcore and drove me. I’ve had soft mentors, yet friends and mentors that don’t hold you accountable are using you. It’s the people that hold your feet to the fire that really care for your success. I get complacent sometimes and need a drill Sargent
I feel you people work with different motivators my father taught me internal discipline.
To the balance between being self-critical and beating yourself up. He used to tell me all the time "Look in the mirror you know what you did, and didn't do be honest with yourself".
Just what the world needs. More of people with a narcissistic personality disorder. They talk like they create. They sell stuff that is not creating. Engineers, Scientists, Designers. Create.
This man gives you everything you need for FREE, and yet people wish to critique his methodologies. Its amazing how the internet has made everyone feel they have a message worth hearing.
So he lashes out when you disagree with him? Sounds like "snowflake" to me, and sounds like he cares way too much about how others see him...looking for validation...how ironic. I know way too many people like him...and i love to push their buttons, just because I like seeing their reactions, im kinda mellow and care free not taking anything or anyone seriously. its gotten me into trouble with people like dan, so i guess im kind off a troll.
The speed at which he will find out that he's not alpha the moment he puts his hand in the wrong face is going to be record breaking.
He doesn't have the type of people in his seminars that would do that and he targets them intentionally.
He wouldn't go to Compton for example and do a free seminar screaming at people like that.
DAMN you flipped his own method on him so hard, SHIT!!! I'm loving your content and perspectives, looking forward to more!
Woooo I was in the Marines and let me tell you that the clip you referenced to this guy was on point. His father sadly brainwashed his son just like many military fathers do with all rules and discipline but no relationship whatsover. This inbalance to a child is as toxic as spoiling a child and giving no discipline. A gentlemen is seen more than he is heard. He does not need to yell to give a point nor does he need to curse to get attention because his words are wise and a tree of life to those who hear him and a gentlemen does not compare himself to anyone else or need affirmation for being a man when we can clearly see it in his actions. The thing is that in Marine basic training they purposely had different types of drill instructors to handle out different missions. The kill hat was crazy and acted just like this guy. He or she was only feared because he was unpredicatble and you do not want to be destroyed by messing up. In fact if you messed up they still were taught to destroy you whether that be through cursing, your family history, self esteem, your faith, anything and everything you have abilities in this type of drill instructor destroyed you. But then it is all by design to put you under pressure and it teaches the pressures of life and how to not succumb to those when needing to get the mission completed under stress. Then you had the hard or heavy hat which was also the knowledge hat. These were a little crazy but more calmer than the kill hat. They teach so they can not be extreme with the hate because their concern is if you are learning and getting Marine Corps Knowledge and drill and memorizing important things. These hats are more respected because they are actually producing the relationship with you by being the teacher and you learning and them having more patience when you mess up. They reward you when you do right and are not as hard as the kill hat when you mess up BUT God forbid if you take advatange of their kindness because then you would have 2 kill hats.
Then there is the momma or poppa senior drill instructor who is more human than all of them. They will make sure you have proper sleep, go to medical, have personal needs tended to, spend time with you that is similar to a mentor or coach, care to listen to you r problems, etc. They even get the other drill instructors off of you when they are going overkill. They speak to you kindly and gently because of their position and they know the power and authority that they have and even their presence is intimidating without them speaking. See if parents were able to rotate these characteristics instead of just being one extreme like how this guy's father and this guy is, then it creates a perfect harmony.
Even the kill hat that used to pick on me for no reason I hated at the moment but later on I loved and appreciated her for being so hard on me because she wanted to push me even more when I was already an above average recruit and did not think I needed her guidance. In realiy she was humbling me as I was prideful because of my skills and later on respected her more than even the senior drill instructor. This is how it should be with parenting and discipline but also with love and relationship. Without the latter the Marines that would be produced would all be focused on killing and have no emotions or care for life or well being of others besides survival because they would have only been taught survival and not life lessons and how to open up to their feelings.
thanks for sharing your perspective.
Spencer Cornelia Definitely. Thanks for the video. It didn’t even realize how my training related to parenting until I saw this vid. Great work btw!
Well said!
Can't believe some people are paying him thousands and thousands of dollars to literally be yelled at.
Wait until you hear them justify it
I paid $100,000 for college degrees I never used.... $20k on this at 18 would have been a far better investment lol
He’s actually not a scam artist, he gives away all his material for free on his website, including his book. He also has an audio file on there called “deal flow” that is excellent. You only pay him if want him as a direct consultant
some sense in a comment section full of idiots
Spencer knows this but he needs to keep the channel going somehow. He's actually the real fraud
He is baiting people by giving them samples. If they want more, they have to pay him. He's a predator and you're his preys. Nothing is free! He's a con man.
@@lilSniper47 there is nothing more you dweeb it's literally the whole course. If you want more you have to his castle and minimum it's like $20000. He's not baiting regular people like you because you could never afford that. You have to already be a successful businessman to get any value from his courses so I have no idea why Spencer is calling him a fake guru it literally makes no sense
@@coryhill6575 - For you to resort to name calling it is obvious to me that you are his prey. Go and waste your money on this con man. Everything this man said is common sense. Literally, nothing he said so far that needs a genius to know it but apparently, you do! 😂
Mom says you can’t stay at my castle anymore
I guess I'll AirBnB down the street when I go visit
No, Sally says you can't stay at my castle anymore.
This is hysterical. At the 2:50 mark it says “Barrio Bad Boy” that’s when I really lost it. Props to him for humiliating himself over and over again so he can be cool amongst 15 year olds.
Insecure old man trying to cover his self-doubts by screaming slurs and other nonesense towards younger people - clearly this little toddler has napoleon-complex. Keep calm little man. I guess he won't act this way when cameras are not allowed and no seminar is taking place. One easy slap and the guy is out forever.
Dan Pena has a point. Those who act ambitious, need to be aggressive. Those who want to be 1 in a 1000, need to be super aggressive!
Those fart noises had me laughing out loud. Ahahaha
Haha glad you noticed. I added it for my own laughter 🤣🤣
Dude, one of the best things that happened to me, was a football coach who didnt let me quit on myself....he was screaming at me, and I didnt liked it at the time...but He taught me to never quick, nor feel sorry for myself and I woulndt have gotten that lesson anyother way.I will forever be grateful to him for that.
So dont bitch ao much about Dan, there are lots of dudes who could use some ballbusting their way..and as for the marketing... mate if a small percentage of people actually buy your product...of course most businesses need a lil hype to make a profit.
I like Dan. Some of the quotes are a little over the line, but his methods are his methods and if they produce the desired effect, then he should continue. Football coaches have been yelling worse stuff than him for decades.
I don't know about you guys but I'm about to close my first deal based on Pena's business principles. And I didn't even attended his seminars. I decided to potentially use the money elsewhere.
Same here bro! Closing any day now! Don’t worry about any of these people in the comments. Like Dan said, in 20yrs their grandkids are gonna be asking questions!
@@KingCoCo @oliver B did it work out?
Can you give an update?
Good video. However keep in mind that education IS the ultimate business - but only after you have a track record. Why? Because it is a product everyone can get even if not everyone will be ready to apply it. It is therefore different from for example trading a physical product. Producing education essentially costs nothing besides time and generates returns over and over again. As long as he is educating based on his experience it is also legit. And another thing is that he is actually building a multitude of businesses by having a share in his mentee businesses and building up his mentees. So if it is true that Dan has shares in multitude of companies that he has coached to success (which I have no reason to believe otherwise yet it would be interesting to know which ones) then he is in fact continuing to do what he did before when he built his own company. He has just taken it to the higher level by coaching executives instead of his own employees.
Solid comment
This guy (Dan Pena) sounds like Joaquin Phoenix The Joker - in a more aggressive geriatric kind of way.
Ugh I’m obsessed with Spencer… he mentioned in that video how he didn’t care if we subscribed or not so I tried to hold off as long as I could but I think I’m subbing today
*Hate him or love him, he made more money than everybody in the comments section combined.*
It's possible. Money is not the only metric that matters in the world. Bernie Madoff made plenty of money...
So?
Don’t mean nothing to me because he’s an asshole.
You may be correct with that, it’s time that’s the asset Dan most likely lacks compared to all of us. And that’s the most valuable asset one can possess.
You right they dont watch TH-cam they making money
Spencer,
A very mysterious character Mr. Pena is. After exhaustive research, this is what I know about him:
He was given a "shell" oil corporation for favors rendered; at the time it had no assets and was being used by the original owners as simply a tax right-off!
Allegedly, he concocted a plan to take it public, but how do you do that with a company that has NO ASSETS??
Apparently, he purchased an "option" for millions of barrels of oil. Remember an option gives you the right BUT NOT the obligation to buy! His timing needed to be precise in order to pull this off. Right after the IPO; now with lots of investor money, he executed the option!! Instantly, the corporation now had assets in the form of oil...worth millions of dollars.
This was accomplished back in the 70's when the SEC had little enforcement power or the desire to do so! Today, if you even try to bring a company with no assets public, you will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for securities FRAUD! Robert from daytradingwiththelight.
interesting, thanks for sharing
He's a real life Cotton Hill.
There is a difference between self confidence and self esteem. Self confidence is related to what you do. Self esteems to self love. Dan is typical example of someone with high self confidence and low self esteem.
Being truely alpha and confident is about being confident, strong and unmoveable. Not about being an angry old man who lies about having superhuman strength.
If you looking for a success you can not be so fragile to be hurt by Pena's words. He is as he is, exaggerated a bit, but his methodology opened my ayes for possibility of buying existing businesses and gave me tools to use for my interests.
Careful- this guy killed a bear with his hands ...
Richard Alpert hahahahaha
With this bare hands?
Hahahahaha.
@Tom Nash
you forgot the terminal level of Testosterone claim
haha. I need to have protection in case he comes after me
8:23 damn, you got me. Lol.
If wearing a gaudy clown suit is supposed to be a symbol for so called success, well, then count me out.
The most successful people in tech sector don't wear suits. It's not a universal sign of success
So one pays thousands of dollars to be yelled at by this man? Might as well pay my dad to do this to me.
Yea haha. $20k to be yelled at
you are soooo correct one more time !!! your analytic skills are impressive
A heart attack is on the horizon while telling people how tough he is.
I keep thinking of a noisy chihuahua.
His actually legit for me. I took his advice on just doing shit and yea it worked for me. I can feel my life changing for the better
That's awesome. Dan Peña is fiery and his "motivational" tactics work for a lot of people.
And what about SPENCER? Maybe he is using the influence (real or fake) of "succesful" people yo increse his engagement, followers and sales. So? Who is more charlatan?
Lol lame
No it diden't. You just got lucky.
lol "just doing shit" didn't need dan pena for that.
He teaches not leverage buy out, but is a roll up and it has been done since 1800 or even before by the Carnegies of the world.
It is about consolidating bussineses sectors so is not risky because you only buy good bussines and make them better (of course is risky, corona killed many good bussineses don't be naive, that's bussines, if you can't handle it leave it).
The point is this... that shit is hard.... HARD! so he help you deal with pressure, because most won't. Most will fell ofended and give up...If you are interested everything he teaches at the castle is for free when you google QLA Library. Dan explicitly explain to the atendees in the castle that they are desperate and stupid to go there when every is FREE on his site. People are buying bussineses with no money, helping boomers retire from theys mom and pops bussineses that has them tired.. then making those bussineses bigger through leadership, to sell them or to keep them... And do that shit again and again and again... What he teaches is free and good for the world dont judge just learn and pull the trigger
He still is a complete prick scam artist. Dosnt matter what you say.....there are so many flaws with this guy its not funny and frankly people who attend his seminar are idiots. He goes about it in the wrong way and treats people like shit...there is no justification or admirable in that period.
At one time, I actually admired the man... enough to consider going to the "castle" myself... but I slowly began to realize that I was not malleable enough to model myself after him - nor would I have been able to - at this late time in my life. Not enough years left... and not quite a "natural" fit.
Better uses for 20 grand - and the pieces of his knowledge or advice that I've weeded through - and CAN still make use of in the time I have left - he has already been kind enough to put out there on the Internet for free!
He is, indeed, one of a kind... and there are valuable things to learn from him.
It’s never too late...all material is free. A 61yo closed a deal in 73 days, new QLA record.
I like your more professional approach of presenting these fake gurus than coffeezilla.
Glad you liked it! Thank you
strongly agree with this. Coffee brings up good points but he seems uneducated yet supremely confident in his opinions. Spencer gives credit where credit is due and lists thing as just his opinion which I like.
@@kramer174 thank you! Glad you liked it. I do try my best to give credit when earned as I want to present unbiased opinions
Agree...Spencer has that genuineness around him.....
@@kramer174 .
Spencer... Man a big shout out to your creative storytelling of influence.
Lol this dude and his tough-guy act are hilarious. It's beyond me how anyone can take him or anything that comes out of his mouth seriously, let alone pay money to get screamed at by this insecure old man.
Edit: Dat Undertale music 😭
This man's content literally changed my life
That's awesome
We have a billionaire right here
Me Too
Good. If Dan helped you. That’s a good thing
Can you tell how he helped you in real life?
he keeps saying it out loud on how he's the epitome of a man or how he oozes confidence because that's what people who didn't grow the confidence organically do. so he has to externalise and verbalise that idea so that it seems like it's someone else telling him that's he's a badass and what not. it's like the routine a person goes through in the morning when he looks himself in the mirror and gives himself a peptalk and convinces himself that he's going to own the business presentation or ace that interview in the afternoon. no one who already believes himself to be smart, tough, or confident needs to tell himself those things out loud. it's a classic self-deception move.
Thanks man....
I've been blind and arrogant for this.
You've got yourself a new subscriber, Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Every comment and subscriber helps
The thing is if Dan was the person who he thinks and says he is, he wouldn't be alive right now
This guy is Jordan Peterson for scammers.
There is no way a man should behave, you should be yourself.
Dude, today guy's are literally snowflakes, I don't like Dan at all, but I agree 100% with his view on current man, most already turned into women with a man's body.
That's true, but people like Dan Peña are not good role models, he can't control himself and that's definitely a sign of low masculinity.
Jocko Willink is the real man, Dan Peña is just a snowflake in disguise.
@@tablerone3585 I much rather look up to Willink and Goggins, the real strong ones are calm and collected.
And the cool part is that women do agree. Literally.
I like Dan you all sound like snowflakes 😂
Every guy?
"WHAT DID YOU DO????"
Well, I lied on the Internet didn't I.
The fact that he takes credit for every dollar his students earn says it all. Leaders don’t take credit for the successes of their students.
says you
This has to be your best yet, Spencer!!! Love
Lol I really didn’t like Dan at first but after listening to a few of his gems on TH-cam he’s not so bad. Some ppl need that type of aggression. But I don’t get why anyone pays for any of these gurus courses or mastermind events when literally everything they say is on TH-cam one way or another. I hope he gets help tho he seems like he truly hasn’t come to terms with childhood trauma.
i love your channel so much dude 👍
Sir Anthony Hopkins should impersonate this clown in a Netflix movie about this scammer.
@6:40
i like how Dan Lok's money goes up very slowly LOLLL
Haha glad you noticed. Little Easter egg from the creator
@@SpencerCornelia
sadly his money is probably going up pretty quick in reality
if coffeezilla's interviews are to be believed
he's raking it in
Dan Lok makes a lot of money. There's no denying that.
Someone emailed me privately of a video of Dan Lok's event Closers in Black I think it was. He gave the same type of hour long sales pitch from the stage. At the end he asked people to go to the back of the room if they wanted in....basically everyone rushed to the back. The price tag was something like $25k. Multiple hundreds of people at a minimum were there.
He's a joke. A small man in need of validation if ever there's been one.
At times I feel like he always needs validation
@@SpencerCornelia the example you gave in the video is great btw - about what real masculinity/confidence looks like. In other words: a lion doesn't need to run around barking - a dachshund does ;-)
thank you. I came up with the masculine angle after watching many hours of his content lmao
@@SpencerCornelia and keep up the good work - both on here and offline. You're going places!
Your existence is a fucking joke.
Your channel is gold brother! The truth hurts. I’m at 7 SFR and it’s been a slugfest to get to that. And that’s coming from a pretty good start in life. These greedy rich assholes seek the emasculated low income males and prey on them financially.
Wow. .... just wow!!!
- nice video, Spencer ✌️
thanks Tom!
He looks like he's about to keel over with all that yelling and shaking lol I can't stop laughing 😂😂
"WHAT DID YOU DO..." yells Dan Pena at 8:25. Kid's reply: "I did nothing, yelled like an angry, emotional mess and cussed my heart out... like you, Grandpa."
Haha
Sounds like a fart 😂😂😂😂😂
Did anyone else notice his hanky try to escape at 0:16 😂
You should give courses on how to recognize and deal with fake gurus.
I don't know about you guys but Dan Pena's content has help me pull the trigger and be successfull at what I do best. I'm making one third of six figures a month now but before that I used to be a guy who earns close to zero and broke af. And that was just a year ago.
That's awesome Elijah. If you became successful by following his content, that's great. I think his content is pretty solid for someone trying to buy a business.
I love the comparison between Dan and Jocko, Jocko is a LEADER who wants to ●elevate people● while Dan is a narcissist who loves to bully people because he is insecure, that's why he portrays himself as so secure, he is soo obsessed with his appearance , tipical of a narcissist, a toxic guy.
If you want real good advices follow Jocko people like him
Amen . jocko is down to earth and never needs to act like he's more than what he is .
