On this episode of ITI, please welcome David Lekach, co-Founder of Dream Water, the first sleep aid supplement water of it's kind. David is a serial entrepreneur with an immense business and coaching background. David recently finished serving as the Learning Chair of a global entrepreneurial organization, called EO.  When he isn't cycling hundreds of miles or training like a beast, David is mentoring, coaching, and advising on multiple ventures. This episode got pretty introspective about some of things that I've accomplished because David actually ended up asking me some questions, but we decided to break this one down into two parts. 

So, please enjoy part 1 and stay tuned for part 2 coming soon!

David holds a JD/MBA from the University of Miami and a BA from the University of Michigan.

Hey everyone!

Welcome back to another episode of ITI, featuring Sam Setton, a recording artist and Senior Strategy Consultant for a prominent company in the financial services space.

As an artist, Sam writes, sings, and plays his own music on multiple instruments as well as graphic designs and paints. Everything about this guy’s artistry from the subway sounds or real voicemails in his songs to the paintings on his walls - he is entirely original.

As you’ll hear in this episode, Sam’s identity as a creative goes beyond his artistry and carries over into strategy consulting.

This duality is something I’m fascinated by because when people try put a cap on an individual you can break down those barriers, remove those labels, and be who you are.

I’m excited to introduce Sam – his work ethic, talent, and openness are admirable so please enjoy this episode and before I forget, please rate, review and subscribe to the show if you haven’t already.

This weekend I’ve accepted the David Goggins 4x4x48 Challenge. I'll be running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hrs in honor of my grandmother, Ziva Cohen. Pushing beyond the limits of what we believe is possible for ourselves to see who we come out as the other side. I’ll be running an additional two miles for a total of 50 miles in 48 hours. I’m raising money for the Cure Alzheimer’s Thru Research Fund and donating $100 following each of the runs.

I lost both my grandmothers to this disease.

In everything bad there is something good. I'm hoping that through this challenge, we can raise money for a cause bigger than ourselves and support research towards eliminating this disease once and for all.

If you’re interested in donating, you can check out our GoFundMe page linked here:

Thank you all for time, donations, and attention!
