    Well-Oiled Machine | Prepared for Every Possibility

    In today’s episode, Nic Glazer and I break down how preparation kept an unpredictable trip to New York from becoming a complete disaster. I share why I keep duplicate chargers, toiletries, snacks, tea, and travel essentials permanently packed, along with how I choose airports, flights, drivers, and schedules around every possible outcome. When weather turned a five-hour flight into an 11-hour ordeal, staying flexible helped me protect my energy, remain productive, and adjust dinner plans without frustration taking over. We also discuss the difference between being busy and being active, available, accessible, and productive, especially when communicating priorities and making the most of unexpected time.

    Fairways to Fortune | Finding Confidence Through Preparation

    In today’s episode, I sit down with PGA coach Virgil Herring to discuss how technology is making golf more accessible, efficient, and enjoyable for players at every level. We explore how simulators reduce cost, time, and embarrassment for beginners while creating new opportunities for instructors and business relationships. Virgil explains how precise data helps professionals replace uncertainty with confidence and move from hoping and believing to truly knowing. I connect that lesson to entrepreneurship, where preparation, accurate information, and a clear understanding of perceived value and the bottom line create better decisions. We also discuss visualization, consistent effort, and finding flow in golf, business, and life.

    In this episode, David explores resilience, leadership, personal transformation, and the power of turning difficult experiences into meaningful change with three inspiring entrepreneurs and leaders. Alex da Silva, Founder of Silva Cosmetics, shares how a life-changing spinal condition and his son’s struggle with severe eczema inspired him to create a natural skincare brand. After developing Sano, Alex turned a deeply personal challenge into a mission to help more than one million people find natural solutions for their skin and improve their quality of life. Adam Markel, bestselling author, keynote speaker, and resilience researcher, explores how leaders can navigate uncertainty, rebuild trust, and create stronger workplace cultures. His new book, Re-Culture, introduces the idea that culture is not simply something an organization has—it is something people practice every day, with collective resilience at its core. Dr. Pam Manfredo Curtis, elite executive coach and Founder and President of Manfredo Curtis Associates, shares how family experiences and childhood environments can shape leadership, communication, and personal patterns.
