All The Wiser

53. The redemption of Dave Dahl


Listen Later

You know him best as simply Dave, the baker and brand-visionary behind Dave’s Killer Bread. But Dave Dahl has had many identities in his life: inmate, art dealer, philanthropist, addict, entrepreneur, and criminal. He grew up in a strict Seventh-Day Adventist community, itching to break free, and later found drugs, crime and years of prison time; until one day Dave decided he’d had enough and asked for help. He grabbed hold of every opportunity he could to improve himself through learning, trying, failing and getting back up again, even in the worst of times. Get to know the real Dave in this inspiring conversation that may just kickstart a whole new attitude of passion and possibility. 


In this episode, we talk about:

  • Dave’s experience growing up in a Seventh Day Adventist family.
  • His struggle with drugs, addiction, and incarceration.
  • Asking for help with his mental health while his prison saved his life.
  • How Dave’s Killer Bread was born.
