In today’s episode, I sit down with Marc Lore and Jim Kwik to talk about the mindset, leadership, and long-term thinking that drive lasting success. We discuss why raising capital is about creating greater value, how purpose helps you push through setbacks, and why self-image shapes the choices you make every day. Marc shares his philosophy on building mission-driven companies, while Jim explains how learning, curiosity, and cognitive flexibility prepare us for a rapidly changing world. We also talk about raising resilient kids, leading with humility and empathy, making decisions that honor your core values, and building champions instead of simply chasing wins.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In today’s episode, I join Mark Pattison on the Finding Your Summit podcast to talk about the mission of empowering more than a billion people through service, gratitude, and creating a ripple effect of positive influence. I share why saying "thank you" each morning and night became a life-changing habit, the lessons I learned from working alongside legendary sports agent Lee Steinberg, and why kindness creates lasting abundance. We also discuss surrounding yourself with people who support your purpose, building sustainable communities through philanthropy, and how simple, consistent habits can transform both your life and the lives of those around you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Rob Gill to talk about building wealth that lasts by combining the right mindset with the right financial structure. We discuss why sales and marketing create opportunity, but legal planning, tax strategy, and coordinated financial teams help protect and compound success. Rob shares how overcoming addiction, financial mistakes, and limiting beliefs reshaped his relationship with money, while I explain why abundance starts with frequency, faith, and eliminating interference caused by fear and ego. Together, we explore disciplined habits, long-term preparation, financial sobriety, and why true wealth comes from aligning purpose, planning, and execution before success arrives.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In today’s episode, I share why the strongest brands are built on purpose, consistency, and emotional connection rather than logos, titles, or marketing tactics. Alongside Blaine Bartlett, I explain how defining your purpose, identifying your natural archetype, and aligning your values with your actions creates lasting trust and loyalty. We also discuss why people remember how you make them feel, how authenticity begins with understanding your essence, and why attracting the right audience matters more than appealing to everyone. A meaningful brand is not something you manufacture overnight. It is the result of consistently becoming the person or organization you were meant to be.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In today's episode, I sit down with Scott Mahoney, Chairman and CEO of Peter Millar, to talk about building a luxury brand without ever sacrificing quality. We discuss how focusing on better products instead of bigger profits creates long-term growth, why consistent daily improvements compound over time, and how Peter Millar expanded from golf into a complete lifestyle brand. Scott also shares insights on performance fabrics, retail strategy, company culture, licensing partnerships with the NFL, and why helping people succeed has become one of the most rewarding parts of his career. It's a conversation about leadership, craftsmanship, and building something meant to last.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In today’s episode, I sit down with executive coach, bestselling author, and leadership expert Rhett Power to talk about how self-talk shapes leadership, culture, and performance. Drawing from years of research and conversations with elite athletes, coaches, and business leaders, Rhett explains why the conversations we have with ourselves influence the way we lead others. We discuss practical strategies for recognizing negative thought patterns, building stronger internal dialogue, and creating healthier team environments. Alongside Rory Cutaia, John Coyle, and Dr. Shawn Dill, we also explore resilience, fear, accountability, and why improving the way we think can transform both personal growth and organizational success.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode, I explain why worry is one of the greatest sources of interference between you and where you want to be or better. When you focus your attention and intention on imagined problems, you create resistance instead of possibilities. I talk about replacing worry with purposeful action, building confidence through consistent daily behaviors, and staying present instead of fearing the future. Most importantly, I discuss how clearing the interference allows you to create more opportunities, options, and touches of favor in the consistent, persistent pursuit of your potential.To join my next free Friday Training sessions, email me at david@dmeltzer.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Brianna Sylver, founder and president of Sylver Consulting, to talk about why resistance is often the first step toward meaningful growth. We discuss the ideas behind her book Leading Through Free Fall, including how individuals, teams, and organizations can navigate uncertainty with greater clarity, trust, and compassion. Brianna explains the difference between resistance and rejection, why leaders should embrace vulnerability during times of change, and shares practical frameworks that help transform fear into collaboration. We also explore how free fall can become the path to stronger leadership, better decision-making, and lasting innovation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
