In this podcast episode, David shares how the power of play has shaped both his personal journey and entrepreneurial success. From his roots in working with children to becoming a play therapist, David highlights how curiosity, creativity, and playful experimentation have always guided his path. Rather than striving through burnout and fear, he has built his ventures around joy and aligned action, encouraging listeners to do the same. By treating challenges like experiments and embracing failure as part of the learning process, David reframes business and life as opportunities for play, growth, and authenticity.
The conversation underscores how play isn’t just for kids; it’s a mindset that can transform leadership, problem-solving, and resilience. David encourages entrepreneurs to reconnect with their inner child by doing something they loved growing up, whether it’s cooking, exploring, or simply being present. Vulnerability, improvisation, and stepping outside of comfort zones, he says, become easier when approached with a playful spirit. His message is clear: when we let go of fear and tap into play, we not only perform better, we live better.
This is the place where real people share real challenges. Where you can find a common bond and uncommon wisdom through their stories. Use tips from the breakthroughs of others to jump-start your success. Speaker, author, adventurer, and host Heather Hansen O’Neill takes you on the journey from fear to fire. Today, we talk about how embracing the power of play can lead to greater joy, creativity, and resilience in both business and life.
