Hi, I’m Daniel DiPiazza.
I’m a bestselling author and serial entrepreneur. I am a source of energy, insight and strength for brave millenial leaders looking to level up in business and life. In other words: my job is awesome.
A Millennial Leader, Thinker, Do-er.
Since you’re on my website, I might as well lead with my strengths.
My debut book, Rich20Something, hit multiple bestseller lists. I’ve been featured in Forbes, Fortune, Inc. and TIME Magazine. My writing, videos and podcasts reach 500k+ people monthly. I’ve spoken all over the world on what it means to create your own path in the new world of media and content.
I made millions in my twenties through online business and consulting.
I love psychedelics, lifting, photography and jiu jitsu.
I am heavily influenced by Stuart Wilde and Alan Watts.
I am here to help.
Daniel DiPiazza, the young founder of the massively popular Rich20Something.com, was once a typical twentysomething, logging mind-numbing hours at low-paying jobs in hopes of moving up. Then it hit him: This doesn’t have to be my life. Now twenty-eight, DiPiazza has launched multiple successful businesses with zero startup capital–simply by identifying and monetizing his skills into a career and life he loves. And with this book, so can you.
Rich20Something is not some boring spiel on “paying your dues”; it’s about hustle. Instead of inching your way up the traditional career ladder, DiPiazza teaches you how to hack it, sharing hard-earned advice, anecdotes from other entrepreneurial badasses, and step-by-step techniques for turning your best skills into a business you’re passionate about that pays well to boot.

In 2011, I quit my job forever.
Last known occupation: server at LongHorn Steakhouse.
From there, I went through the entrepreneurial odyssey. I began developing my skills as a freelancer and opened up different service-based businesses. I tried my hand at tutoring, web design, copywriting and a dozen other things. I scaled many of those to $100k+ fairly quickly, which felt really good. But more importantly, taught how to become innovative, persistent and self-reliant.
A mogul in the making.
As I began to have more success freelancing, I attracted attention online with my articles in various outlets like Under30CEO. Then the big media came calling and my work got featured in places like Entrepreneur, Inc., Fortune and TIME Magazine.
My social media following began to grow like crazy. Then, it exploded. This was good for my ego, but even better for my business.
I capitalized on this newfound traction and transitioned into digital marketing. I learned how to create information products and courses that taught people all the skills I’d learned along the way. So meta.
The online courses became my first $1M+ business. But I wasn’t really happy with the business. Something felt empty and I wasn’t having fun anymore. I just didn’t know how to transition yet.
My debut book Rich20Something launched in 2017 to incredible reviews and lots of attention. I am really proud of what my team and I were able to accomplish with that project. It was the culmination of a major life phase.
From there, I pivoted.
Currently, I’ve taken on three very exciting new projects that are keeping me quite busy.
The Vanguard — the new media company I founded with my business partner Daniel Thomas Hind and our friends at LA Weekly.
Alpha Mentorship — my transformational coaching and immersive retreat company for Millennial entrepreneurs.
The Wilde Group — my consulting company for thought leaders and influencers.
My philosophy
I believe in the power of the individual to change his or her life trajectory at will through sheer self-belief.
In a culture obsessed with more, better, faster, one of the biggest advantages you can have is learning how to operate from a place of total security and strength. This internal strength is rooted in a deep knowing that whatever life throws at you, you will be ok. In order to really flourish in this life, you must develop the sense that you are powerful beyond the scope of daily struggles and heartbreaks. That is the way of the warrior.
I believe it is our job as leaders to cultivate this inner strength for two reasons:
1. Because the security in you emanates and radiates outward. When others perceive your strength and poise, they will instantly be open to your leadership — and learn by your example.
2. This awareness and recognition of your own inner strength will allow you to to enter into the various challenges that life presents you with the confidence to follow through — sometimes even snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. You’ll become powerful.
From that place of true self-belief, life and business become a game you cannot lose — because you’re the one creating the rules.
I also believe in your ability to make a ton of money doing what you love. So let’s get to work.
