David is a blogger, educator and a voracious tweeter. He runs the Write of Passage course on how to become a better writer and communicator. 

David and Auren dive deep into mimesis, the philosophies of Rene Girard and Peter Thiel, and what it means to be a contrarian. They discuss ways to build a “personal monopoly” and how to stand out in a world where everyone imitates each other.
