Daniel King
Co-Founder
Daniel is a former lawyer with a background in investing and executive coaching/organizational culture. This interdisciplinary worldview enables him to build partnerships in the group practice world that enrich in financial and human terms and he has fun doing it. He is the glue, bridging investors, practice owners, lawyers, and other stakeholders. He unapologetically believes for-profit investors belong in mental health if they are mission driven.
Through his career he has brought soul and spirit to traditionally powerful institutions in law, finance, tv, and politics. To his work he is also proud to bring 10+ years of daily meditative practice, travel to 50+ countries, the creation of 3 top-rated university courses taught over 5 years, and that one time the Russian army took him hostage.
He holds a BA (Religion and Politics), and a JD from McGill University. He dropped out of the Columbia University (Teacher’s College) MA in Social and Organizational Psychology. He is based in South Florida. He will one day soon defeat Doug in table tennis.
He brings expertise in:
Culture
Law
Practice Outreach and Deal Sourcing
