Daniel Marcos started his first company in Mexico at age 26 but found being an entrepreneur difficult. He took the MIT program "Birth of Giants" and met renowned entrepreneur Verne Harnish, who became his friend and advisor. In 2011, Daniel and Verne co-founded Growth Institute with the purpose of sharing business leaders' vast knowledge and mentoring new leaders to succeed with their own companies. Since then, Growth Institute has helped over 40,000 leaders around the world scale their businesses and reduce drama through training, mentoring, and implementation support.
