“I never cared about money.... My goal was just to play the game.”

Daniel Negreanu is 6 x World Series of Poker champion, renowned for his strategic brilliance, wisdom and charismatic presence at the tables. He has earned his place in the Poker Hall of Fame and has secured a legacy as one of the greatest players of all time.

As Damian takes a tour through Negreanu's lavish home, he engages in a deep and insightful conversation with the legendary poker player, unravelling the mindset of a true high performer. With over three decades of experience, Daniel reveals how he reads opponents, adapts strategies, and even plays the personal game to gain an edge.

I’m a big believer in making sure your goals scare you a little bit ”

From the hyper-focused moments of intense observation to the subtle nuances of human behaviour, Damian sees firsthand how Negreanu's skills translate beyond the cards. It's a lesson in adaptability and self-awareness, something we know is crucial for all elite performers.

Negreanu shares insights about his favourite book, offering a glimpse into his inner thoughts and emphasises the importance of speaking one’s mind, even when facing criticism. He also introduces Damian to his LED light bed, an infrared bed he uses for meditation and to improve his readiness for competition.

Through highs and lows, victories and defeats, this episode paints a vivid portrait of Daniel Negreanu's extraordinary life.
