In this episode of The FORM Method Podcast, Austen sits down with David Schneider for a wide-ranging, deeply human conversation about the moments, choices, and relationships that shape a life.

Rather than focusing on titles or resumes, this episode explores the personal side of David’s journey—his upbringing, the lessons he learned from family, and how those experiences shaped the way he shows up for others today.

The conversation moves through commitment, creativity, and community, including David’s passion for music as a tool for connection and service, and a powerful discussion around mental health, advocacy, and legacy. This episode is a reminder that the most meaningful success is often measured by impact, not accolades.

If you value intentional relationships, thoughtful leadership, and conversations that go deeper than the surface, this one is worth your time.
