Founder, 3rd Space Bucharest
Daniel Deaconu is one of the most genuine people I know here in Bucharest.
I don't just like him because he's successful in work or that he has crazy discipline. The man has consistently ran for 1,000+ days straight. But that's not why we connect. I like him because we have serious things in common, like wanting to raise our daughters the best we can.
Kickstarter Success
In this episode of the 3rd Space Bucharest podcast, we dig into how Daniel helped launch a Kickstarter campaign that generated $48K in just 2 days.
That kind of result doesn't happen by accident.
Airport Running
We also talk about why he ran inside an airport while security watched suspiciously.
When you've committed to running every single day for over 1,000 days, you find ways to make it work. Even if that means jogging through terminals.
LinkedIn Mistakes
Daniel shares the biggest mistake founders make on LinkedIn.
If you're trying to build your presence on the platform, this is worth hearing.
Professional Sandcastles
Here's something that stuck with me: Daniel's work partner compares professional achievements to sandcastles.
It's a perspective that makes you think about what we're really building and why.
