What if you had the power to save a life with just one decision?


Imagine being given the opportunity to offer someone a second chance, to become a lifeline in their darkest hour. This act of generosity goes beyond mere kindness—it is a courageous decision that changes lives. 


As the only organ in the human body that can regenerate itself, the liver allows living donors to donate part of their liver while still maintaining their own full liver function. 


Joining us on The Greatness Machine is David Galbenski, an individual who has not only embraced this life-saving cause but has dedicated himself to advocating for it. His story is one of inspiration and purpose, and through his efforts with the Living Liver Foundation, David is making a profound impact on countless lives, inspiring others to consider the life-saving potential of becoming a living donor.


In this episode, David takes us through his transformative journey from a successful entrepreneur to a passionate advocate for liver donation. He shares his personal story of becoming a living liver donor, the challenges he faced, and the profound impact it had on his life. We delve into the mission of the Living Liver Foundation, which David founded to raise awareness and support for those considering liver donation. Through candid reflections and powerful insights, David sheds light on the importance of organ donation, the lives it saves, and the enduring legacy of compassion it creates.


Topics include:

  • David reflects on his pivot from law to entrepreneurship and founding Lumen Legal
