Dan Peña is a Mexican-American businessman who turned $820 into a $450 million publicly traded energy company — Great Western Resources — in just 8 years, during one of the worst oil market collapses in history. He started on Wall Street at Bear Stearns, landed $50 million in US government contracts in his first year of business with nothing but a phone and a fax machine, and later purchased the 15th-century Guthrie Castle in Scotland, where he still lives and runs his business empire. Known as "The Trillion Dollar Man," Peña claims his mentees have collectively generated over $1 trillion in equity and value through his Quantum Leap Advantage (QLA) methodology, which he's taught since 1993.
