Building Human Connection in a Digital World with Daniel Goddard

• Today’s guest brings Hollywood charm, tech genius, and a mission to help people build real human connections—without awkward small talk or cold outreach anxiety. You may know Daniel Goddard from his 1,000+ episodes on The Young & the Restless, but these days, he’s creating something even more powerful than daytime drama.

Daniel is the founder of Dysko, an AI-powered networking platform that helps you connect with people based on shared interests, values, and goals. This isn’t another “faceless bot” trying to set an appointment. It’s a tool that shows you how to actually relate to someone—so you can build rapport, earn trust, and grow your business the right way.

Whether you’re slinging roofs, closing SaaS deals, or helping students prepare for college life—this conversation will reshape the way you think about sales, tech, and real connection in the modern world.

💡 What We Talked About

🎭 From Soap Operas to Software

Daniel breaks down how years in front of the camera taught him the most valuable sales lesson of all: everyone is selling something—whether they know it or not.

🧠 AI as a Tool (Not a Terminator)

Forget the doom and gloom. Daniel shows how AI can enhance human relationships, not replace them.
