This week on the podcast we're talking to Jeremy Doorn.

Jeremy is my personal accountant and our relationship has changed my business and consequently, my life. We get into Jeremy's experience with how a mental breakdown pushed him to explore running as a release, his un-traditional path into accounting, and some of the biggest lessons he's learned in his time working with creative professionals.

Today on Second Order Change, we are talking to Mario Fabbri.

Mario is a chef, filmmaker, and entrepreneur who started his journey studying actuarial science—a career path pushed on him by a guidance counselor that he didn’t want. After dropping out of college and betting on himself, Mario dove into entrepreneurship, filmmaking, and eventually food storytelling. Now, he’s a chef dedicated to inspiring others with plant-based content and intentional eating.

In this episode, Mario talks about finding purpose, taking risks, and turning small opportunities into big wins. From learning through wedding videos to firing clients that didn’t align with his values, Mario’s story is packed with lessons on risk-taking, knowing your worth, and following your passion.

David shares his journey through a tumultuous period of life of existential dread which lead him to a darkness retreat, and emerging with newfound clarity, creative energy and a new identity - a poet.

The conversation touches on the challenges of honoring difficult experiences without falling into despair, the power of poetry as a transformative tool, and the importance of balancing structure and spontaneity in the creative process. We also explore the broader implications of seeing life as a series of cycles—embracing both its joyous and shadowy aspects. Listen in for a thought-provoking discussion on living wholeheartedly, even in the face of life's impermanence.
