Welcome back to The Founder Podcast! Get ready for an inspiring conversation with David Meltzer, a true example of bouncing back from setbacks to achieve greatness.

In his early twenties, David rose to success, making millions and flying around the globe for speaking gigs and business ventures, including becoming known as the “real life Jerry Maguire.” But in his thirties, despite his wealth, everything crashed, leaving him bankrupt. Determined to find his way back, David discovered the secrets to his earlier success: gratitude, empathy, accountability, and effective communication. Armed with these principles, he not only recovered but thrived even more.

Now, he's on a mission to share his wisdom, guiding others to triumph in their own lives and businesses while having a blast along the way. Tune in as David shares his journey's ups, downs, and invaluable lessons, igniting your own resilience and empowering you to lift others up.

Highlights:

"Your good behavior has an instant result. It's called good progress. And bad behavior has an instant result, bad progress."

"Nothing is more important than our relationships. My wife saved my life."

“I hate myself. I am a liar. I am a cheater. I am an overseller, a backend seller, a manipulator. I hate myself. I need to take stock in who I am and what I want to become."
