In this milestone 100th episode, I hand over the mic as I invite you into the intimate corners of my home and my life.

One of my most played guests David Galbraith is today's host.

Having hosted the previous 99 stories of transformation,I now thought the time was right to share mine by stepping into full vulnerability and transparency.

David G allows me to recount the chapters of young grief, navigating through poverty, grappling with family alcoholism, and wrestling with being socially exiled.

Throughout the episode, I unveil the levers and tools that empowered me to transform my traumas into sources of strength. Offering advice to those battling shame, fear, and confusion rooted in their upbringing, I provide insights on how to cultivate the confidence to share one's story.

And as a poignant surprise, our esteemed host, David Galbraith, reduces to me to tears with a huge surprise.

Thank you all for joining me on this personal odyssey. Thank you for being a part of my story and The Development by David Podcast.

With Love,

This week I interview a high school shooter, Jon Romano.

Usually, my podcast is all about inspiration and motivation, but this episode takes a different turn. Jon Romano, sentenced to 17 years in prison at the age of 16 for attempted murder and reckless endangerment, shares his story. In 2004, he took a gun into Columbia High School in New York, a decision that would change his life forever.

Today, Jon collaborates with authorities and uses social media to prevent history from repeating itself. In a shocking turn of events, he became a victim, attacked while working at a homeless shelter, enduring sword wounds and a brush with amputation.

This episode goes deep into the psychological scars left on Jon's classmates at Columbia High School. We explore childhood trauma, depression, and the dark path that led to a heinous crime.

Our conversation is not about promoting violence but about learning, growing, and raising awareness. Join us on Monday for a unique and powerful episode where Jon's journey from being a problem to part of the solution unfolds.

Discover the transformational power of redemption and gain insights into the darkest corners of the human psyche in this eye-opening podcast episode.

This week my guest is Tim Stoddart, a dynamic entrepreneur, blogger, podcaster, CEO of Copyblogger, and the visionary Founder of Sobernation.

Ever wondered what lies beyond the allure of weekend alcohol consumption? Are you curious if life can be just as vibrant without the rollercoaster of highs and lows brought by alcohol? This episode might hold the answers you seek.

From the early stages of his teens, Tim grappled with his addictive personality. He turned to alcohol and, later, heroin as a way to numb the discomfort that plagued him. However, a tragic family emergency forced a transformative shift in his relationship with substances.

Tim's journey led him to create Sobernation, a groundbreaking blog that became the largest resource for the sober community. He didn't stop there; Tim founded a marketing agency focused on substance treatment centers, generating millions of dollars in revenue.

In this episode, Tim opens up about what lies on the other side of that bottle and shares the path he took to get there. Tim's personal story serves as a roadmap, guiding us toward understanding addiction and the power of embracing "shared suffering" for a more fulfilling life.

We conclude our conversation with Tim by delving into the art of creating a cash-rich business that not only aligns with your values but also makes a substantial impact on society. In Tim's case, this has resulted in seven-figure success stories.

We extend our gratitude to Tim for joining us on this remarkable journey. Don't miss this insightful episode filled with wisdom and inspiration.
