“Life is 10% what happens to you, & 90% how you respond to it.”
Dan Grieb has applied this mindset to every aspect of his life – from fatherhood to business, health to wealth, and everything in between. It is with this guiding belief that Dan has achieved such great successes as becoming one of the top real estate agents in the United States, ranking in the top 1% of all Realtors in the U.S.
Dan and his team continue to provide indispensable value to their clients. Dan Grieb: mentor, leader, business owner, Ironman, and most of all, devoted father and husband. He has been blessed with two amazing sons and a loving supportive wife who helped cofound their passion project: the One More Kid Charity. The charity steps in and saves Christmas for children and families who would otherwise fall through the cracks and be left without. They also work throughout the year to assist kids with school supplies and other needs, as well as in partnership with other charitable family organizations. Dan’s other family passion project is his health and fitness; Dan culminated this journey by accomplishing his ultimate physical goal as a triathlete: completing 10 half Ironman (70.3 mi) and 6 full Ironman (140.6 mi) races, as well as completing the Disney Marathon, Dopey Challenge, OUC Half Marathon, has done ocean marathons, and traveled the world racing and traveling. Through his experiences, he has come to believe that life imitates sports, and sports imitate life. The stronger you build your athletic constitution, the stronger the rest of your constitution grows.
Dan is a certified leadership coach under John Maxwell. He is an Ironman certified coach, Certified Performance Coach, Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and a Nationally Recognized Expert in Real Estate. Dan’s coaching style is known to be very intense but with a huge focus on building and developing relationships.
One of Dan’s life highlights has been leading Chris Nikic, the first person with down syndrome to complete an Ironman triathlon in under 17 hours. This journey has changed his life forever and taught him life lessons that he will carry with him and apply to his future coaching, professional and personal relationships.

In this episode, Karen and Dan discuss Dan’s 80×80 Movement – Milestones & Medals – Challenges for Life:
- Was there something that happened to inspire you on this journey?
- You can have it all. Dan joined a group that challenged him to be better and it encouraged him to also get his health into alignment with the rest of his life.
- Milestones and Medals along the way
- Dan put his mind to it and lost the 110 pounds he wanted to and completed 10 Iron Man events in 2 years. He then realized he wanted to use his body to help someone else to be an Iron Man.
- What has been your greatest Movement Challenges?
- The journey is in who you become, not the final challenge you complete. What you take away from every movement challenge is the greatest reward.
- What has been one of your most memorable Challenges?
- Dan was able to complete an Iron man with Chris Nikic, believing in him even when nobody else (outside of his family) did.
- What inspiration do you have for those new to the 80 x 80 Movement?
- We are all wounded at some level. We want others to see our wounds, meet us where we are and know we can accomplish anything no matter what those wounds are.
- What’s your next Challenge for Life?
