Ep 101 David Crow - The Pale Faced Lie The Genuinely Interested Podcast
-
- Self-Improvement
David Crow had an incredibly difficult upbringing and a personal story that will shock any reader. His new book, The Pale-Faced Lie: A True Story, is a raw account of David's childhood growing up on the Navajo Indian Reservation. His father was a violent criminal who groomed David to be his partner in crime - but that was not the life David wanted to live. David is a gifted storyteller; during this whole episode, he vividly articulates and relives all the true childhood stories that have haunted him for years.
David and I discussed:
Why he grew up on the Navajo Indian Reservation
His mentally ill mother
What made his father proud
His father's odd sense of justice
The abuse he and his siblings received from his dad
What he said in his dad's eulogy
The angels that helped David along the way
What his dad taught him as a child
How his dad planned to murder his mother
His photographic memory
And much, much more...
David Crow
My Take: To not only survive what he survived but to do a complete 180 and live to tell about it, is both remarkable and admirable. If anyone is a true example of overcoming one's circumstances, it's David. He truly is the poster boy for overcoming adversity and not allowing his past to define him. Through the painful stories lies inspiration and hope that your circumstances don't determine your outcome.
