In this inspiring episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sit down with David McClam, a seasoned podcaster whose mantra “Always stay humble” shapes his personal and professional journey. Through nearly a decade of sharing stories on shows like True Crime Authors and Extraordinary People, David has built a foundation rooted in gratitude, empathy, and staying grounded no matter how far you go in life. I loved exploring why this quote means so much to David, hearing not only his reflections but also heartfelt stories about friends who lost their humility after achieving success, and how his mother’s wisdom kept him true to himself. Whether you’re chasing big dreams or simply looking for direction, David’s experiences remind us to value what we have, lift others as we rise, and never lose sight of genuine kindness. This conversation is a powerful reminder for anyone seeking purpose and connection—perfect for our community of listeners looking for practical wisdom and real life inspiration.
