PERSONAL BACKGROUND:

David grew up in a rural Kansas farming community where he was exposed to real-world entrepreneurship, hard work, and the harsh realities of struggle and pain at a young age. After graduating high school, he turned down a full-ride academic scholarship to enter the workforce and pursue alternative education through specialized leadership, ministry, and personal development training. He would go on to build a successful career in sales, becoming a top 1% sales producer in a $400M per year company, eventually leading him to a senior management role. Although life looked incredible from the outside, a series of significant, yet immensely painful events, caused his mental, physical, and emotional health to nearly collapse. He faced 60-80 hour work weeks filled with constant anxiety, depressive cycles, and frequent panic attacks as he struggled to navigate an incredibly challenging season marked by a massive betrayal, a miscarriage, a $40,000 pay cut.

David knew something needed to change as he'd recognized that the "American Dream" he'd been chasing had become a nightmare. A fateful moment in a small cafe with one of his mentors opened his eyes to the limitless possibilities within him. It was the first time he had considered starting his own business since he'd been a kid. Having blamed entrepreneurship for his parent's failed marriage, David was terrified that it could do the same in his family. But he believed that the vision and mission in his heart was something that could serve others and he was convinced that there had to be a way to build an aligned business without sacrificing his family or the things that mattered most. For nearly a year, he dedicated himself to learning the world of online entrepreneurship, investing 3-4 hours each night after his family went to bed towards studying, taking courses, researching, and developing new skills.

After a year of failed business attempts, David was able to finally find some traction in getting one of his ideas off the ground. Three weeks before his second child was born, he turned in his notice at his job, and went all-in on his dreams. His wife had always dreamed of being a mother and homemaker, so walking away from the perceived security of his six-figure salary was terrifying. They knew they would have to trust each other, and trust God. David believed that with hard work, time, and God's grace, he could make it work. Little did he know that in the months to follow, this entrepreneurship journey would bring him to face some of the most daunting challenges of his life.

Fortunately, the story doesn't end there. Although these challenges would push the limits on everything he thought possible and result in him nearly losing everything, they would ultimately lead to transforming his life, building two successful companies that have impacted thousands of lives, and providing him the opportunity to live his dreams. He looks forward to sharing more of this story with you at your next event!
