It's easy to get bogged down by your past mistakes, but ultimately, your life is defined by what you do TODAY, nothing else. On this new episode, Dave talks with previous business partner and official BFF, Matt Gallant, about how Matt survived addiction and went on to build an eight-figure business, all while continuing to push his limits AND practice daily gratitude.

When winter comes, do you fight it or accept it? So many people find comfort in momentum, meaning that once one project is done, another takes its place.

In light of the recent U.S. Capitol riots, people around the world have shared their interpretation of WHY the events happened.

In this new episode, Dave and Chris dive deep into the issues of leadership, charisma, and much more. They cover what the riot revealed about PEOPLE (and not just politics), the HUGE lessons that we can learn from Trump REGARDLESS of his policies, and the TRUTH behind self-leadership and making ACTUAL progress as people and a country.

When your mind is overflowing with more ideas than you know what to do with, how do you sort through the noise to find the gems?

Money. That word can cause an avalanche of feelings in people, and no wonder. There are countless opinions flying around about what, where, and how to spend your money, leaving people feeling lost and anxious. Some people strive to have $100 million in the bank and five cars, whereas others would rather spend that money on experiences. Ultimately, money is the vehicle for YOUR life, not its destination.
