Why I Switched to Danger Coffee: My Morning Ritual
I've been drinking Danger regularly for more than two years, and personally, I'VE NEVER HAD ONE COFFEE CRASH.
I have a love affair with coffee.
There. I said it.
My wife knows.
And now that I’m officially an affiliate partner with Danger Coffee, I suppose things are getting serious ☕️❤️—there's a nice 15% discount waiting for you in just a few short paragraphs.
Here's what happened:
I was drinking Danger Coffee long before anyone paid me a dime for talking about it.
I switched a couple of years ago because I wanted cleaner coffee. Over time, I started talking with the Danger team, became increasingly interested in what they were building, and now I’m excited to officially partner with a product that was already part of my life.
That’s the kind of partnership I actually want.
Not:
“Someone offered me money, so suddenly this is my FAVORITE THING EVER!!!”
Nope.
I was already drinking the stuff.
Now I get a commission for telling you about the coffee I was probably going to tell you about anyway. 😂
Want to see how ridiculous this relationship has become?
I made a quick video explaining why I switched—and apparently revealing more about my relationship with coffee than anyone requested.
Okay, I know you want that nice 15% off code so why make you wait until the end of this blog post...

My Director’s Secret Window
I consider myself a high performer who's addicted to growth, expanding what I'm capable of, and deepening my relationships.
I worked hard to perform at a high level across many arenas.
I direct films.
I write.
I speak on stages.
I host the Direct Your Life podcast.
I recently finished my book, Direct Your Life — Or Someone Else Will.
And becoming a father added a whole new production schedule that apparently does not respect call sheets.
So, as often as life allows, I protect a small part of my morning.
I call it my Director’s Secret Window.
Before the texts.
Before the emails.
Before everybody needs something.
Before I start reacting to someone else’s script.
It’s me.
My thoughts.
And a cup of Danger Coffee.
Sometimes I write.
Sometimes I work through a speech.
Sometimes I solve a creative problem.
Sometimes I sit there wondering why a baby needs to poop this much.
I kid you not—as I reread that sentence, my son made the sound.
5 Minutes later...
Yep.
Had to change him again.
You cannot make this stuff up. 😂
But the point is the same:
I create direction before I enter the noise.
That has become one of my favorite rituals.
Why Danger Coffee?
For most of my life, I actually avoided coffee. I’d heard about the crashes and other downsides, and whenever I tried it, I didn’t even like the bitter taste.
Then I started learning more about coffee quality and became curious about what a cleaner cup of coffee could look like.
That rabbit hole eventually led me to biohacker Dave Asprey, the founder of Danger Coffee. I learned more about how he approached coffee, experimented for myself, and eventually landed on Danger.
Danger Coffee is mold-tested and toxin-screened, made with specialty-grade Arabica beans, and remineralized with 50+ trace minerals.
And yes, those little visible specks on the beans are intentional.
Danger calls it Danger Dust™—a blend of fulvic and humic minerals.
Cool science.

I drink Danger for the benefits of clean coffee but also because I genuinely love the coffee.
The smell. The taste. The ritual. And most importantly, how I personally feel drinking it.
I've been drinking Danger regularly for more than two years, and personally, I'VE NEVER HAD ONE COFFEE CRASH.
I even ran my own little experiment.
After drinking it regularly, I stopped cold turkey for seven days.
Did I dramatically collapse onto the kitchen floor screaming its name?
No.
Did I miss it?
Every. Single. Morning.
On day eight, that first cup felt fantastic—not because I felt like I needed it, but because I genuinely wanted my morning ritual back.
Sip.
Think.
Write.
Direct.
That’s why Danger earned a permanent role in my Director’s Window.
