My name is Dan Siepen 👋

Non-work related stuff about me 😊

I grew up in sunny Sydney, straya (a.k.a slang for 'Australia'), home to some of the best beaches and views in the world :). I also lived in Melbourne, Australia for a couple of years to expand my old business (and I also love Melbourne - amazing city!)

I'm now 30 years old and have done some cool things in recents years, such as building Australia's #1 coding school as well as founding Australia's #1 growth hackers community.

I now work on a new growth marketing blog, as well as advise/consult a few startups with growth marketing (strategy and a various mix of channels).

Whilst work does play a huge role in my life, there are many personal achievements I've manage to do along the way also.

I've travelled to lots of countries around the world and I have a strong desire to travel more around the world in the not to distant future. A stretch goal of mine is travelling to 40+ countries before I get to 35.. I have a few years left ;)

I am passionate about living a healthy life. It can mean lots of different things to different people, however it's about clean living, minimalism, thoughtfulness, having empathy, helping friends and family whenever they need it, and just having fun. It's important to have fun because if you're not having fun, why do anything at all? :)

I am also passionate about mental health. I'm someone who does suffer from anxiety and have become more aware of myself over the years. More importantly, I've become more aware of those around me who may also suffer from anxiety. I always make sure I'm available to chat with friends and loved ones who may be going through a hard time.

It's incredibly important to always be kind to people. Many people are going through a battle that you don't know about. No matter if you're having a hard day, try to smile too. :)

I do love my music, food, social outings, friends, sport & much more. I'm a passionate Collingwood and Dragons supporter (for those that are coming from outside of Australia, they're AFL and NRL teams). I also love NBA, NFL and EPL.

I try to give back when I can. I plan on doing a lot more into the future. My goal is to run a social enterprise where I can bring my business skillet and run a scalable social impact business that can help many around the world with a particular problem.
