In this interview, Manny has a conversation with a member of the Mayweather Boxing Legacy, Jeff Mayweather.

This is an interview you do not want to miss!

Enjoy :)

David Benham, one stellar half of the infamous Benham Brothers!

Former professional baseball player, nationally acclaimed entrepreneur, and best-selling author.

His rise to success came with the first company, which grew to 100 offices in 35 states, and catapulted him and Jason onto the national stage. Topped charts like, Inc. Magazine’s Fastest Growing Companies, Franchise 500’s Top New Franchises, Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year Finalists, Wall Street Journal’s Top Five Real Estate Agents in America list, and the US Chamber of Commerce’s Top Small Business of the Year.

He and his brother's success eventually landed them a straight to series reality show with HGTV in 2014, yet the show was abruptly cancelled when activist groups pressured the network to fire them because of their commitment to biblical values. The boys walked away and said, “If our faith cost us a reality show, then so be it.” Appearing on FOX Business, ABC’s Nightline, CNN, FOX News, and Good Morning America the brothers encouraged people to stand for what they believe, whatever the cost. Since that time David and Jason have started dozens of businesses, written several books, and launched an online coaching series called Expert Ownership, where they train people how to serve God, thrive in business, and live a life of impact.

David is happily married and lives on the same street in Charlotte, NC, next to his brother with their combined nine children. They and their wives love to help kingdom-minded entrepreneurs and leaders thrive in every area of life, including their marriage and family.

Even though this interview was with David, you will certainly feel both of their spirits!
