He supports leaders in aligning their spiritual awakening with meaningful impact and financial success. Hello, Daniel. Welcome to Leading with Purpose.

Daniel John Hanneman: Hi, Mark. I'm so excited to be here with you today.

Well, uh I want to just jump right in, because we're going to have an experience for everybody listening today. We just really want to have people actually walking away feeling a transformation, and you've often talked about your journey from feeling unseen, misunderstood, and disconnected from your gifts to building a thriving business around them. What was the turning point that helped you stop hiding and fully step into your purpose?

Daniel John Hanneman: Wow, it's a big question, a big journey. I mean, I was, I was the shy kid who would hide at parties and stuff as a little kid, I could hide under the kitchen table and things like that, and so it was really awkward trying to just try to be myself, and you know, I had this big love in my heart for people, and, and I always just thought it was kind of weird the way people were about the gossip, the judging, and everything, and it was thought that was always very strange, and so, yeah, I had a lot of hard times, you know. Once I got in my teenage years, especially, and I was depressed, I was anxious, I felt like I don't fit in anywhere. I had a job telling me, like, you're fired, and by the way, maybe there'll be something you could do, but you know, you're you definitely don't work out here, and like, they, you know, just being like feeling like falsely accused of things too. I won't get into the whole story, but like, just yeah, that feeling of being invisible. I literally was called mr. Invisible in high school, and so I just got really focused on wanting to feel better and feel into my true self, really, and I didn't know what that was all about. I knew I had this spiritual energy and power. I tell my friends, I've got power, I've got the power. They laugh at me, right? Other boys, right? Like, okay, come over here, I'll show you the power pizza strength and stuff like that. And then they'd be like, okay, I guess you got the power. So just fun stuff like that, but like that's where I was starting to wake up spiritually, in terms of my power, and then I was kind of lost, though, with connecting with people and disconnected in that way. So I did vandalism, all kinds of weird stuff, as we do sometimes in our youth. Then I got into psychology eventually, once I got into college, I just accelerated my story a little bit, and then I went into outside sales, because I had been so awkward, mostly, and not social, and just I'm

like, I know I've got this like thing where I need to express myself and enroll people, so I got into sales, outside sales for copiers for about two and a half years, I think it was, and hundreds of cold calls, just people, just I had to face my fear of rejection again, again, and then I got into working with the chronically mental ill after I graduated from getting my master's in clinical psychology, but during that time I got persecuted there too, in a sense, like they're like you're so different, like we don't know what the deal is, like you could really diagnose people so well, we don't know what that's all about, the way you're able to basically tune into people, I mean it's what they were saying, and then, but yeah, you're you're a mess socially and whatnot like that, like you're they came up with these some of it was kind of true, a lot, a lot of it was like made up stuff, they just didn't like me because I, they said you asked too many questions, you just, you know, what's your deal, like, like, okay, I'm just like, you're curious, yeah. So, anyway, so a lot of people can relate to these stories, right? Like, ask too many questions, you get in trouble.

So I got my first job out of getting my master's, I got fired within a month, I said, you don't belong here, I mean, like, like the story just kept going, so I, when I was working fully with the chronically mentally ill, being more of a counselor type of role, and stuff like that with them, like, then I was like, oh, now I was thriving, I got stolen from one organization to an X with a big pay increase, and whatnot, because so they need, they needed me somewhere else, and they, they liked me, and stuff, so like it just showed me when you're in the right environment, doing the right things, using your gifts, like, you will thrive, you will prosper, and so I learned that I build up private practice, and everything, doing hypnosis, and all kinds of things, learned metaphysics, you know, all this stuff that you know that we do, but anyway, so. I started learning about metaphysics and how to command energy and to manifest whatever you want, so I had a lot of empowerment with that. I was like, finally I gotta be myself, I gotta stand on my power, and I started manifesting things. I finally got out of, like, not dating and everything, started dating, had wonderful relationship with a woman for a while, but it wasn't a match, and I manifested my wife, just by like the ability to just be like so clear, I have to scan everybody's energy on online, no, no, no, there she is. That's the speed version of how it happened. And then, like, I just knew, you know, like, so that ability to know and let everything else go has been really instructive for me in my life, and for my students' lives as well, and so anyway, eventually, like, after doing a bunch of counseling jobs and stuff, I got online in 2006 and just started playing around. Okay, how did people find online all the keyword stuff and all this stuff, building websites, and so eventually, you know, I started to help healers, is what I found, like I just kept getting in front of healers, like

using these gifts that were coming online, the ability to tune in, to drop into people's energy fields, just kind of came to me, you know. Just, I didn't know what taught me, like I just also, I got this ability to scan and tune into someone's field really deeply. And then I started doing healing, and then I helped other healers to do it and thrive, and now I've helped you know 1000s of healers in various ways, and a lot of them I've taught, I've taught them not to do all this stuff too, to tune in to thrive, getting new clients by using their gifts, and and then helps other, you know, spiritual entrepreneurs at different levels to experience, you know, quantum leaping, increasing, or whatever, in their businesses, in their energy, and everything. So I've done a lot of different things, and yeah, so that's, I mean, it's kind of was my journey, was just just persevere, and realize I always felt like I have this big energy inside myself to share with the world, and that was one of the biggest things that kind of kept me in it.

I love that I may have shared with you privately, but I've told other people about how my very first coach asked what niche I wanted to be in. So, I wanted to be a spiritual coach, and he laughed and said, "Well, you're not gonna make any money as a spiritual coach, because you can pick any niche you want, but it has to either be health, wealth, or love, and then you can sneak in spirituality like medicine in the dog food and I had no, I had invested 1000s of dollars, and I was working with lots of healers that were in the six figure, seven figure range, and but overall I find many healers and spiritual entrepreneurs of all kinds struggle with the relationship between money and spirituality, and I'm curious, what you've learned about creating abundance while staying aligned with your spiritual values and your calling, as you've talked about.

Daniel John Hanneman: Right? Yeah, I feel that is a big one. I mean, I feel like there's this sense of, like, want to be an ultimate, like, purity and integrity, you know, with our gifts and share people with people, and shouldn't be about money, and we just want to love people and help them, and but the truth was, when I started my business, and I was being more like that, like I, you know, I ended up in six figure dad, you know, I had to let go of my house, we're going to soup kitchens, basically, like, because I had this kind of idea going on, and even when I wanted to break through, it had so much momentum, it took me a while to, you know, work that out, and then ultimately become effective in my strategy and tactics, in terms of offering energy scans, making, you know, offers that are worth enough to make enough money, you know, right, to actually start thriving, go to six figures, and then multi six figures, and then start helping, you know, others to start going down that pathway to to use their gifts and start thriving in their businesses. So, it, I mean, I've, what I've always helped people with is like the realization, like, you know, people say these are gifts from God. For example, is one of the things that people will say, but I'm like, yeah, so is engineering, so is mathematics, or so is whatever, all the other things people get paid for, right? So don't give me this as a gift from God, of course it is, but so is everything else. Everything's a gift from God. So, but also just helping people realize that most people coming into this are already of integrity, you know. They just don't want to be a person of non-integrity to make offers. I feel like they're ripping people off, but most people, that's not the issue. You just have to, you know, clear the blocks that say you're going to be persecuted, you're going to be put on the cross again, you're going to be burned at the stake. You know, you had money, a lot of money in another past

life, and then you know, you abuse your power a bit, and then you, they ransacked you, or whatever, you know, like, whatever, whatever it is that happened, like, we want to get to those things that help clear those things one way or another. Sometimes you can create it just by getting people clear, like it's okay, go for it, you know, I have to deal with all the past life necessarily all the time, but it can, it can help, you know, always. Start to touch on those type of dynamics, and then people are like, okay, I feel like I got the permission, I got the green signal, I got the light, you know, to the green light to move forward, and the trust, you know, making offers, and then people always like, well, I want to be, I want to do the nice girl price or the nice guy prices for my services, and like, but that never is going to get you thriving or prospering, you're never going to be able to do a full time with any, any livelihood, you know, you, so you have to, if you want to really thrive, you're going to have to charge significantly, and that fact, it's a fact, it's not like, you know, just a nice thing to do, but like it's a fact, and another fact is, is when people are investing more, they get more out of it, right. So, but we have to realize, like, it actually conserves someone's spiritual path of your integrity to hold them to a higher commitment by having them invest more, because I used to have people invest a lot less than things, and the less you have them invest, just on average thing, they tend to take it more lightly. They get less results overall, typically, you know, not always people say, "Well, I got this great healing for free. Alright, well, that's, you know, not the average, you know. We want to look at the average, just like people say, "I ate steak and smoked all my life, I lived to 110. Yeah, you're the one, right? God bless you.

You know, I'd love to learn from you and see what that's all about, but that's not the average, you know. The average, the average is you're broke and you have to work other jobs or you're just destitute, right? So we have to stand on our power, realize we're infinitely resourceful, and so is every single person we talk to, so they have the ability to invest if they choose to realize it's not a villainous thing to have them invest deeply, it's an opportunity for them to grow, to expand, to excel, to awaken, whatever may be the case, and to stand in that, you know, space to champion them,

And I know that one of the things that you have mastered yourself and now help other healers to do is the this energy scan you offer, and then you teach people how to do energy scans, as well as being an energy scan trainer, how does that fit in, both for you, and then how does it fit in with your clients learning how to do this?

Daniel John Hanneman: Yeah, so what the wonderful thing is, like with energy scanning, it fills what's been a hole for the most part, even to this day, in the healing world of we've got people learning Reiki and other things, and they don't know how to tune into people's energies really that well, like they just, yeah, I kind of feel the energy, and then I do the thing right, so but they're not like they can't pinpoint things, right, they don't know, like their past lives, or you know exactly what's going on in the chakras, more precisely, so then they're just, you know, they'll still get good results sometimes, but, like, you know, you could accelerate the results, you could bring more value to people if you could actually scan what you're working on more in depth and really tune into that. So, so that's the value for people, is to learn how to do it. Most people don't believe they could do it, but it, everybody that comes in and says they were convinced they wouldn't be able to do it, can do it, like, for the most part, like, with a couple exceptions. I will say there's been a couple people, but they were so caught up in their head, or you know, like, to just, they just could not allow it. But you, even those people, I've helped them to break through, if they stuck, stood with it, right, with my teachings and whatnot. Keep practicing, they'll get it eventually, but you know, I mean, you have to stay with it. Most people get it right away, like at 98% or more, like they get it right away. They understand exactly how it works after I teach how to do the scanning, and then it's a good entry way to offer scanning to people to help them, you know, overall. But, like, also get new clients, you know, everybody wants a scan, everybody wants to know what you see of them, right? And when you offer to scan and you see something inside them, it's a sacred service to accelerate them, like I did one, you know, already today, like constantly scanning people, and I see

it as sacred service, but then there'll be x amount of people that are like, I see as like they're just meant to work with me, right, more than I'm gotta convince them, I'm gonna, you know, do all these, I've done that before, I've been there to play that game before, I was like, I was looking for the right fit, right? And the rest is all sacred service. It's like, okay, I'm gonna help you, I'm gonna do this thing, or to give you suggestions, but maybe even some coaching to help you on your way. And if it's not a fit, that's great, like, you know, you will have got an increase at least from it. And so not to get like worried about like the things typical in business that we're taught, closing percentages, and also all that stuff is fine. Like, I believe in it to a degree, but if that becomes your main priority, you're gonna, you're gonna get too in your head, and you're gonna start doing things that don't flow from your soul. And people are healers, are usually very sensitive and empathic, and operate differently. They have to be soul aligned, right? So, like, it's a great soul-aligned tool to help people more deeply, give them more insights about their life and what's why things are happening, then to service them through energy healing, and also getting new clients.

I like that. That's a great.. again, I love that you're coming first from a place of service. Is there's no sale in it. It's just literally help as many people as you can, and we'll actually put the link down below for anybody that's listening and actually wants to schedule. Is that what is the process? They'll click the link and fill out a little form and actually get right on your calendar. Is that,

Daniel John Hanneman: Yeah, they don't even have to fill out a form at this point. So maybe I might bring that back. I've done that plenty of times in the past, but currently, as of this time, likely there won't be a form to fill out. If there is, okay, fill out the questions. You know, we've got a new system coming on board, but go ahead and click on the link for an energy scan with me. It is a $500 value, but for Mark's podcast today, we're going to be offering it for free, only for a limited time. Seriously, like with a certain amount of time after it launches live, it won't be available anymore. So, if you're listening to it, you're interested, go ahead and take advantage of right away. I'll just say, like, you know, pretty much nobody's unhappy, like everybody's like, 'Wow, that's so accurate, or 'Everything's accurate. Is the most common comments I get, and people just really gain a lot, like, because your energy starts to shift the minute you're in contact with me, you know, on that scan, like, it starts, because I'm not trying to bring healing death necessarily, but I'm like, it just, the energy starts to shift as we start doing the process, so you want to say it's on

Zoom, face to face, like this on Zoom,

Daniel John Hanneman: Yeah.

And how long is the session? Typically,

Daniel John Hanneman: We usually do the scanning part for the first 2025, minutes, 30 minutes tops, and then after that it just kind of depends on where things want to go. Okay, it's time to talk about can help you further, or you know, alright, let's let's see about helping you a little bit more, maybe, or wrap up the call. It just kind of depends. And even if I make somebody offer, sometimes I make people an offer. I already know that they're not going to do it, but in the offer I tell them more about their potential. It's like I'm activating them in the offer, like I'm like, yeah, this is what's possible. That's because you're this way and that way, and then we activate this, we turn this one on, or what, this happens to happen, is you're being telepathic, you can manifest whatever from infinite power, you got all these abilities and all these things we talk about to get, activate them, and then they just like today, like the one that came off to college, she just was so you just are just beaming with energy, and just I don't have it, I'm totally have no job, I have no, I don't feel you know, she didn't feel like she could invest, but like she's just so happy with the scan, so I, that we just left it at that. So I mean, it just depends on the person. So people come in, they're hungry, they're ready, and they know that they want to get the help, they want to trust their gifts, they want to start thriving as a healer. And then, and then sometimes it's a match, and that's, you know, that's fun. Then it's like, okay, cool, we found each other, like, like that soul-aligned, you know, client.

Yeah, yeah. So, for someone listening who knows that they have gifts to share, but still doubts themselves or feels being fully seen, what would you invite them to understand about their next step forward.

Daniel John Hanneman: Yeah, I mean, I feel the sense of being scared about rain being seen again has to do with a number of things. I mean, one is some of you are like help star seeds and all this stuff, like you're just a different frequency, you're not like the average person, you're, or you're just, you know, or maybe you're just really insensitive and empathic, you've been an adept or a healer or a priestess or whatever in a past life, and I've done the work, or you were a witch, right, and you know you've been persecuted or told you were wrong for what you're doing, or you did, you know, whatever, something, what, so you upset the balance of powers, or whatever, and so you know to be visible with your gifts again seems like ridiculous, right? Like, we already know that's not going to work out, because that's how the subconscious work, like, okay, it doesn't work, you know, it does, it doesn't work out, we gotta hide that, and then you got society's built up that idea overall as a collective, but you know, the truth is, is like, we're meant to come out this life, you know, this is a lifetime for so much of that, like right now it's the time to stand in our power and use our gifts. So I would just say, like, if you feel that, I will find out through that scan exactly, you know, what is going on, what's creating that for you, why you're feeling that way about that. But you know, even just the basics of, like, you were different and growing up, and people didn't, you couldn't relate with other people because you were just had different ways of seeing and looking into things, like there's and then like me, like I was told, you know, you don't fit in basically again and again, and you know people like you know you feel like you're making friends with somebody else and they don't talk to you ever again, right? Like things like that happen to people like us all the time because we're just we're deep, we're real, we're completely a different kind of

frequency. So, yeah, visibility seems weird. We've had to try to fit in, and we don't want to do that anymore, though. So, you don't have to once you're being your full self. You can, as I say, live heaven on earth until you're being more embodied and sharing your gifts and doing your thing, like you're always. Going to feel like something, something is right, something's off.

Yeah, there's.. there's like a missing piece.

Daniel John Hanneman: Right. Yeah, it's.. it's well, you get activated. I mean, you still try to fight it for a while, right, but once it gets gets it in you and get it, and it gets activated, really gets activated. Then there is no stopping it. Then it then it was like you just feel like you have to do it. Yeah, absolutely. That's that momentum starts to get going, but until you get awakened to it, like you don't know. And so I try to try to awaken people to it as soon as possible, and so that they can actually make the difference they can, because again we have the opportunity to see more possibilities than ever before in this world, like in so many different ways, and you know we can work together with technology, but the thing is, is we're giving a lot of our power away to technology these days, and we're the power, you know, we're one with the power, and so we have to step into that power, or increasingly, the our fascination with the God of technology. We just give all our chips increasingly in the direction of technology, and we are actually giving away our life force. So that's part of what my calling is to help healers right now, is to be leaders during this time to help other people to activate into their potential, their greater vibrancy and power, so that we can have, you know, the new earth for the people are choosing to go that way, and there'll be other people, maybe our church choosing more of the Borg life, you know, that's fine, but we're going to have people that are going to be going to a different level, you know, like the jet, like Jedis, right? Like, there we are, like all this other crazy stuff's going on, but we're still free, we're still doing our own thing, and that's kind of my vision of the future. It's a little dystopian in a way, but it's paradise for the people that choose the new earth paradigm, right? So

It is that actually is a perfect segue into something I like to ask each of my guests, this is the Leading with Purpose podcast. What does leading with purpose mean to you, Daniel?

Daniel John Hanneman: Yeah, I feel like, yeah, I mean, that's a great question. I feel like leading with purpose means that you're not doing anything, you know, outside of that number one, like it's a sense of, like, whatever, that you know, I mean, I look at purpose as, like, you know, inner purpose, outer purpose, and all that stuff. So, yeah, we're leading with purpose in that we're coming from, you know, a deeper channel or connection or presence, right? And then we're leading with the purpose that we're here to make impact with that. So, we, we have to let all of that to come forth to make the biggest difference we've come here to make in the world, and so we can experience the vibrancy that we are at the same time, right? Some people go nihilistic, right? In a spiritual.. well, nobody matters. I've been told it's all the matrix anyway, and it just all ends, and we go back to the light, and it's like, no, you're here to experience the vibrancy of who you are. Otherwise, you, you're wasting, you know, wasting away your life for us, in a sense, like you know you're not what you come here for. You come here to experience great contraction and all kinds of crazy stuff, and then ultimately experience more of the fullness of who you are, and then that's that's the liberation that we're looking for, and as a whole, like a whole soul cycle, right? Like, we get to experience everything that we get to experience, like the sense of the fullness, who we are, and then maybe, who knows, maybe we go back home finally, but yeah, that's all debatable, that's for another show. But

Absolutely, well, again, we're going to put the links down below, so anybody that wants to get a free energy scan for a limited time, all that will be down there, they can connect with you directly. How do people find you? What is your website?

Daniel John Hanneman: Yeah, so you could go to your sacred purpose.com and take a look there. We also have a free gift there as well, meditating, make money, so you know, I always say, like, you know, make it easier on yourself. Yeah, I'm all about action, but you know, you always get yourself settled in and get the good energy flowing, and ask your guys, you know, they're there, so the meditation helps to open up your chakras, and then have you tune in to your guys, ask them questions, and I have seen people are doing, you know, six figure plus businesses are using such things to build their businesses, like that specific meditation for free, so you can get that again at your sacred purpose com, Facebook, I'm on there, all the usual, you know, LinkedIn, IG, all the stuff, so yeah,

I love that, and then for anybody that's listening right now, what's the last word of what would you like to leave our listeners with a final thought from Daniel Hannah.

Daniel John Hanneman: Yeah, I mean, guys, I just, I really think boldness is a word to really anchor for people, right? It's like it's so easy to just be like. Like, all right, I'm gonna get through today, and hopefully some good stuff happens, and all those kind of ideas that probably hit a lot of our brains, you know, most of our brains, and it's like it's easy to just kind of go in that kind of direction, but what if you're standing in like your infinite power? What if you're being, you lot of talk about 10x and 100x and stuff? I also talk about it, but whatever you are, you're standing in, you're already in your 10x self, right? Like that type of stuff, like helps you to actually wake the heck up and start doing the things that you keep thinking about doing or experiencing, but you're just keep hesitating on, just step into it now. There is no other time, because if you do choose to do it later, it'll still be the now. Guys, that's that's that's the thing I like to use as a, as like a wake-up call. What are you waiting for? You're just playing with illusion. You're going to step into it, of stepping it one way or another. All you're doing is prolonging suffering, and that's needless. Get through the sense of fear, get the sense, get through the sense that you will not be able to do it, and all that stuff, because once you move through that, that's your liberation.

That is beautiful. Go now, stop the suffering. Yes, that is your liberation.

Daniel John Hanneman: Exactly,

Beautiful. Daniel, I really appreciate you and the work that you're doing to help light workers one to see themselves, and then they can pass that gift on to their clients as well.
