    Well-Oiled Machine | Turning Reaction Into Response

    In today’s episode, I sit down with Nic Glazer to talk about what happens when even a well-oiled machine has an off day. We break down how small mistakes, missed details, exhaustion, and unexpected changes can quickly create interference, along with the importance of adaptability and personal accountability. I share how I use “stop, drop, and roll” to recognize my reactions to fear and respond with greater intention. We also discuss the value of studying your calendar, protecting non-negotiables, using non-time to increase efficiency, and recognizing the clues and patterns that help shorten the distance between an emotional reaction and a productive response.

    Fairways to Fortune | Why Process Always Trumps Expectations

    In today’s episode, Virgil Herring and I discuss how resilience, preparation, and trust in a proven process help us recover when strong starts, certain deals, or perfect shots fall apart. Virgil compares my son’s comeback after two difficult opening holes with Rory McIlroy’s ability to overcome early mistakes under pressure. We explain why past failures cannot control the present, and why outcomes beyond our control should not force us to abandon what works. Through lessons from golf and business, we share how controlling the controllable, releasing expectations, and continuing to take action create lasting confidence, perspective, and opportunity. Success begins with staying in the game long enough to improve. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    The Reel Deal | How Commitment Reveals Character

    In today’s episode, Brian Sher and I discuss commitment, accountability, and using influence with intention. We share how people reveal their priorities through the effort they make when weather, travel, or other obstacles interfere with their obligations. Brian and I also consider whether celebrities and athletes should use their platforms to express political views and support social change. I explain how careful planning helps me maximize major events like the Super Bowl through scheduled meetings, charitable work, media appearances, and investor conversations. We also discuss why collecting contacts means little without consistent follow-up and how intentional action separates genuine business opportunities from empty networking and social media appearances.

David also speaks with Helen Jonsen, language architect, strategist, author, speaker, and host of This Kaleidoscope Career. Helen discusses her upcoming book, This Kaleidoscope Career: Empowering Women to Build Unconventional Careers and Redefine Success, and why embracing nonlinear career paths can help women at any age or stage create careers that reflect who they are. Austin Holmes, Founder of Signal Raptor and President of Publicity For Good, reflects on 25 years of lessons from military service, including fear, pressure, sacrifice, and leadership.

    Office Hours | Be the Architect of Your Own Success

    In today’s episode, I speak with Matt Uhler, Itamar Shatz, and Linda Hunt about the emotional and practical structures behind lasting business success. Matt explains why owners must prepare for the loss of identity and purpose that can follow selling a company, while buyers need financial clarity and a thoughtful transition plan. Itamar shares how immediate pleasure, fear, and uncertainty fuel procrastination, along with practical ways to make difficult tasks feel manageable. Linda discusses overcoming discomfort around money, recognizing the true value of professional services, and using scripts and systems to receive without apology. Together, we explore how structure creates confidence, clarity, and meaningful progress.

    Made From Mistakes | Lead From Where You Are

    In today’s episode, I speak with Sujay Saha, Christopher Stitt, and Hooman Ghazanfari about courageous career changes, leadership through influence, and creating clarity under pressure. Sujay explains why leaving a prestigious role does not erase years of progress, but can build valuable experience, relationships, and perspective. Christopher shares how people at any organizational level can lead by earning trust, supporting stakeholders, and bridging silos. Hooman draws on his firefighting and coaching experience to distinguish thoughtful responses from impulsive reactions, clear mental clutter, and learn from difficult moments. We also discuss professionally supported psychedelic therapy, trauma, integration, and the patterns of thought, action, and discipline that shape long term success.

    Well-Oiled Machine | The Power of White Space

    In today’s episode, Nic Glazer and I break down how careful scheduling, clear priorities, and personal non-negotiables helped me remain productive after a heavily delayed flight to New York. Despite arriving at 2:00 a.m., I protected time for sleep, exercise, meditation, family, coaching, and training before a full day at Fanatics Fest. We discuss using white space, overlapping compatible activities, planning meals, and maximizing business development, content, and relationship-building opportunities. Nic also shares how skipping a scheduled team meeting created unnecessary interference, proving that small oversights can carry significant costs. Consistency, accountability, and preparation allow us to adapt when external circumstances refuse to cooperate.
