    Breaking Free From Survival Mode to Thrive in Leadership and Love

    Special "Business Revenue Leak Checklist" offer free at http://www.mrse.co/leak. What if true time freedom comes from healing your nervous system, not productivity hacks? David Titeu shares with Michi Lantz how he transformed his father's suicide attempt into a mission helping high-performing men break free from survival mode and build lives rooted in love, not fear. Guest Bio: David Michael Titeu is a liberation coach, facilitator, podcast host, and founder of DMT Coaching based in Melbourne, Australia. His path to becoming a coach was not a straight line. He built and lost a social impact startup, went through identity collapse and a genuine mental health crisis, and came out the other side with something most coaches don't have.. a methodology forged from real experience, beyond theory. Today, he works with high-achieving men to dissolve the beliefs and patterns driving burnout, self-doubt and the sense that something is still missing despite the external success. His approach combines depth psychology, somatic healing and nervous system work - going to the root of what is actually driving the behaviour, not just the surface symptoms. David is a LinkedIn Top Voice in Mental Health, executive judge and mentor for the 7NEWS Young Achiever Awards and ambassador for the Australian and New Zealand Mental Health Association. He hosts the podcast Liberated, a show for high-achievers navigating self-doubt, burnout and identity. For David, "making it" has been about building something true to him and helping others do the same.

In 2015, Neha co-founded Couched, a design-driven furniture brand for urban homes, which she bootstrapped to profitability while leading marketing, product strategy, and customer experience. In 2019, she co-founded Boingg!, India’s first kids-focused D2C furniture brand, raising angel funding across four rounds and scaling across e-commerce and offline channels, where she became the de facto CMO out of necessity. Today, through Founder’s F.I.T, Neha works with early-stage founders as a Fractional CMO, building their marketing from the ground up, and as an ICF Certified Coach, helping them lead with greater clarity and confidence.
