In this episode of the Choose Your Perspective podcast, we sit down with financial advisor, philanthropist, and advocate David Hirsch for a deeply honest conversation about success, fatherhood, disability advocacy, and what truly matters in life.
David shares lessons from his 40+ year career advising high-net-worth families, including the simple financial principle his grandfather taught him that changed his life: save first, spend second. But the conversation goes far beyond money.
From launching the Illinois Fatherhood Initiative to building the Special Fathers Network, David opens up about the importance of emotional presence, supporting families raising children with disabilities, and redefining success beyond career titles and wealth.
Daniel also shares his own experience growing up with a visual impairment and ADHD, leading to a powerful discussion on parenting, resilience, and perspective.
This episode is about more than finance or fatherhood — it’s about learning how to show up for the people who matter most.
