Ep. 17 The Truth About Value, Power, and Why Most People Never Really Show Up — with Dan Lloyd
Most people say they want change—but few are willing to do the inner work required to lead it.
Dan Lloyd has sat with celebrities, politicians, CEOs—and still, his greatest work has been showing up for himself. Raised in a biracial household on Long Island, Dan’s journey led him from the world of sports and music to building a civic movement that’s reshaping power from the ground up.
In this episode of Success Unscripted, Dan and Jessica have the kind of raw conversation most leaders won’t say out loud. They unpack the real cost of visibility, why showing up isn’t enough if you’re not bringing value, and how emotional resilience—not ego—is the secret to lasting influence.
This episode will challenge how you see politics, leadership, and yourself.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The truth about value—and why most people misunderstand it
- How therapy and self-reflection shifted the way Dan leads and lives
- Why local politics is the gateway to power, wealth, and real impact
- How to stop taking things personally when you’re building something bigger than you
- What it actually means to show up fully in your own life
This is the kind of conversation that doesn’t just inspire—it activates.
