David DeLorenzo started his career at his (then) dream job for Warner Bros. in L.A. while also running his own marketing company that promoted artists and bands. When the industry began to change with the rise of technology and streaming services, DeLorenzo returned to Phoenix where he started working for his father’s insurance company. It was here that he discovered his true passion for the restaurant and hospitality industry, which developed into his own niche within the insurance profession. DeLorenzo created the Bar and Restaurant Insurance division of The Ambassador Group, his father’s company which he later purchased in 2009. Throughout 2020, DeLorenzo has experienced his own set of challenges as the pandemic threatened to demolish his company (80 percent of his clients are in the food and beverage industry) and he contracted the virus himself twice. Using his personal mantras to propel himself through setbacks to get back on top, he decided to share his experiences in the hopes of helping others. We sit down and chat about all things health, fitness, nutrition and owning your own business. By far the most well rounded podcast we have done as we get into his stories about Van Halen, Shania Twain, as well as his meditation and breathing practices. We also tackle his belief in aliens...yes aliens. You can learn more about him and his mission at iamthedelo.com and also by following him on social media at the handles @ iamthedelo. It's worth the listen for the education and to grab a few laughs along the way.
