In this episode of The Motion of Gratitude Podcast, Shannon and Matthew Missimer sit down with the legendary David Meltzer — Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Institute, globally recognized entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business coach. You may know David from Apple TV’s Two Minute Drill and Office Hours, or as host of Elevator Pitch, Entrepreneur’s #1 digital business show. He’s been honored as Variety’s Sports Humanitarian of the Year, awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, and featured in everything from Think and Grow Rich to Netflix’s Beyond the Secret.

But beyond the accolades, David’s mission is clear: to empower over one billion people to be happy.

In this powerful conversation, David shares:

• How gratitude became the cornerstone of his life and saved him during his lowest moments.
• The difference between simple gratitude practices — and the deeper, “quantum” impact gratitude has on our past, present, and future.
• Why gratitude is a survival skill, not just a soft skill.
• Lessons from losing everything and rebuilding, and how humility and perspective shaped his resilience.
• Guidance for caregivers and parents on creating non-negotiables for their own well-being.
• His mission to empower over one billion people — and the calling that started it all.

David’s wisdom is both practical and deeply moving, weaving together business strategy, personal growth, and the timeless power of gratitude.
