David's Diaries

The Yorkshire constant, a reverend's intervention, learning from failures, staying in the now, the life anchor of teams and what you see is what you get

Modest beginnings, turning the page on your career, cancer diagnosis with depression, asking for help, the importance of creativity and not owning a TV!

Character building childhood, the expectation of winning, building into your potential, being a workaholic and the yin and yang of positivity

The freedom to explore, political influences, tax and family law, persistence is power, becoming a creative problem solver and being true to yourself

Cobblers in the family, falling in love with Leicester, seeing the good in people, being faddy, following what you enjoy and stop trying to motivate people!

Brilliant supportive parents, not wanting to become institutionalised, being a big crafter, don't stress - we are not saving lives and the riches are in the niches

Growing up street smart, Gran's resilience, from Amsterdam to Durban, imposter syndrome, the importance of being dependable and welcoming the discomfort of life

Extraordinarily ordinary childhood, 3rd June 2010, going all in for the best diploma in the world, drifting, the platinum rules and only positive things happen to positive people

Yorkshire born and bred, brotherly bonds, self-doubt, reciprocal respect and there is no substitute for hard work

Family and belonging, a thirst for knowledge, a squiggly career, growing where you are planted, it doesn't get easier - you get better, autonomy and the freedom to choose
