During this episode we focus on:

  • The structure of inspiring stories: obstacle/adversity + perseverance +wisdom  gained and shared.
  • The power of childhood passions.
  • Embracing failure as a doorway to wisdom.
  • The gift of inspiring stories = HOPE

David’s Gem of Wisdom:
Be a realist and  an optimist.

People tend to say, I m not an optimist, I m a realist.   My response to that is, you can be both and you should be both.  If you re just an optimist, you re in the clouds; and it you re just a realist you re almost negative you re generally focusing on something negative.  When you approach reality with effort, hard work and positive thinking that s where your success is found.
