  • Fast moving and dynamic!!

    Had a great conversation with Dave! Responded to some questions and got feedback from him as well, and we aligned and interacted with each other's comments and insights. It was quick, moving, dynamic, and the thoughts flowed fast, so I believe that what he was looking for and what we talked about will help members of his audience with directions or ideas and thoughts! Thanks, David!

  • Dave is punching above his weight and it’s fun!

    What is really cool about Dave is the fact that he is definitely doing his own thing. A lot of podcast usually mimic the leaders in their niche. Dave is punching above his weight. He is not the most slick, but he’s definitely the most real type of person doing a show like this. Give it a few episodes you’ll like it.
