Daniel Cleland: 12 Laws of the Jungle: How to Become a Lethal Entrepreneur, Episode 100, The Psychedelic Entrepreneur Podcast 
Daniel Cleland is CEO of Soltara Healing Center, which gained worldwide recognition in 2019 as the preeminent Shipibo healing center outside Peru and is now regularly visited by the most prominent influencers, celebrities, and public figures. One of the patrons includes Logan Mader who he met backstage at a concert in 2020 when Mader expressed interest in an ayahuasca retreat at Soltara. Shortly after meeting, Cleland founded the now internationally acclaimed band Savage Existence and Mader produced their debut album, “Animals.” Since then, the Savage Existence has toured with iconic acts like Sepultura, Monstrosity, and more and is working on their second album coming out in 2023. Cleland holds a Masters of Intercultural and International Communication, but he learned his hard-knock style of scaling from years of traveling, living, and hustling in the merciless Amazon jungles of South America. He is often referred to as “The Indiana Jones of Entrepreneurship,” after applying the principles in this book to his company, his band, and everywhere he sets his sights.
Daniel’s new book, “12 Laws of the Jungle: How to Become a Lethal Entrepreneur” has been called “your must-have machete for the jungle of entrepreneurship.” The foreward was written by Patrick Bet-David of Valuetainment, and the book lays out the 12 laws Daniel learned while living in the Peruvian jungle and how they are necessary for every entrepreneur to understand to survive and thrive in the unforgiving jungle of entrepreneurship.
