He also started to write the book “What the F\*\*\* is Wrong with Everyone Else” and stopped living and working for others and put his energy into the things he loves most: family, friends, energy, and entrepreneurship. David joins Katie for this rousing hour of discussion where you can hear more about David’s journey and unlock some inspiration on how to find your own path.
