When I started this show, I had no clear direction — no perfect plan, no “ideal guest.”   So, I committed to recording 21 episodes and figured if something clicked, I’d keep going. Around episode 12, a guest flipped the script and started asking me the hard questions. I was terrified to publish it — but I’d be a hypocrite to ask for people’s truth if I wasn’t willing to give mine.   Then a 17-year-old approached me at the gym after hearing my story. He told me that at 16, he tried to take his own life. And somehow, hearing that episode gave him the hope to keep going.   This podcast is now a mission: to tell personal stories with an aim light the internal fire in young men and women across the globe who are walking through the dark night of their journey.

    Welcome to David’s Saturday Night Sit Back

    Send a text This podcast is for people who don’t recognize who they’ve become — and are ready to change it. I chose Allan Bader’s episode as the featured trailer for new listeners because my target audience is young men and women who are struggling to find themselves and their place in this world. While I believe most episodes of David’s Saturday Night Sit Back are created for one person but can be enjoyed by many, Allan’s episode is different — it’s one that most people can see themselves in. On paper, Allan and I couldn’t be more different. He was taking hardcore drugs as a teenager. I didn’t take my first drink until my 21st birthday. He’s straight. I’m gay. He didn’t know most of his family until his 20s. I grew up very close to my siblings. But here’s what we share: We both hated who we became. We didn’t know where we belonged. And we both had to hit a version of rock bottom before we could figure out who we actually were. If you’re new to the podcast — welcome. Grab your favorite coffee, tea, or sparkling water. Scroll through the episodes until a title grabs you — whether it’s Allan’s or another story — and sit back with us for laughs, honest storytelling, and hopefully, the spark that lights your own internal fire. If an episode impacts you to become the agent of change in your own life, I’d genuinely love to hear your story. You can email me at SitBackWithDavid@gmail.com My end goal for this podcast is simple: One day, I hope to have thousands of emails from young men and women around the world who took control of their own story while listening to ours. I believe in you. — David Support the show https://www.dsnsb.com/
