What does success really mean?

In this episode, Dave sits down with entrepreneur and host of "Ditch Digger CEO" Gary Rabine to talk about the deeper layers of leadership — the kind you won’t find in strategy decks or highlight reels.

They unpack:

🔑 What success looks like after you’ve “made it”

🔑 The role of wisdom, legacy, and purpose after you retire
🔑 And why the most fulfilled people don’t stop working — they start leading

What’s the one skill that governs every other virtue? It’s not talent, intelligence, or even discipline — it’s prudence.

You’ll learn why prudence is the foundation of wisdom, how to spot the difference between discernment and fear, and why mastering this one virtue will transform how you lead, live, and grow.

In this episode, Dave dives deep into the most misunderstood driver of success in any organization: culture.
From his early days struggling in sales to building a franchise that stood out among hundreds, Dave shares the personal and leadership lessons that shaped his approach to building teams that actually thrive.

You’ll hear:

• Why culture is more important than product
• How to “optimize your personality” as a leader
• The Rich Dad, Poor Dad approach to leadership development
• Why most companies fail before they ever start — because they ignore this one thing

This isn’t about fluff.
 This is about building something that lasts.

Most leaders think cybersecurity is an IT issue.

It’s not.

It’s a leadership issue — and if you ignore it, you’re already exposed.

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with cybersecurity expert Dave Mosher, whose background with the NYPD and years in the trenches reveal what most leaders miss.

From simple tools like Flipper Zero to overlooked vulnerabilities in your office and email, Dave breaks down exactly how hackers think — and how easily they target businesses that are asleep at the wheel.

We cover:
🔑 Why hackers don’t waste time — they go where it’s easy
🔑 The everyday mistakes leaders make that open the door
🔑 Physical security gaps (yes, your office is vulnerable)
🔑 The scary simplicity of modern hacking tools
🔑 Why cybersecurity is YOUR responsibility — not just IT’s
🔑 What’s coming next (AI, social engineering, and beyond)

This isn’t fear-mongering. It’s preparation. And leaders who prepare are leaders who protect.

LISTEN NOW and step up your defense.
(And if you think you’re safe… you need this episode more than you realize.)

In this clip, Dave Durand breaks down a simple yet powerful way to command attention the moment you walk into a room. Whether you're leading a team, presenting an idea, or walking into a meeting—you don’t need a title to carry presence. You need awareness, posture, and intentionality.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 ✅ What top communicators do before they ever open their mouths
 ✅ How posture and presence impact trust
 ✅ Why charisma fades—but grounded confidence lasts
 ✅ A mindset shift that creates instant influence without being forceful
