David took the leap from a life of financial security as an investment banker to pursue his dream in building the next great plant based ice cream and confectionery brand. 

David's Bit of Gold: He said, “Life is short. You should strive to wake up everyday and love what you do. The financial piece is important. You need to take care of yourself. But you need to be thoughtful in what you want to do with the limited amount of time that you have on this planet.”

He knew he wanted to make change in his life and he took the jump… 6 years later, it’s finally paying off.

Bio: Ryan Maltbie is the founder of BBQGrills.com who has a fascinating story. He and his dad built a successful business… but after 10 years grinding in this business, it abruptly closed down. This unexpectedly changed the course of his life. 

With 3 young children at the time, he had two choices:

• Take a conventional route 
• Or risk it all and take a chance on himself and his new dream.

He chose the latter and has now been building BBQGrills.com. They’ve since served over 5k customers and have hit over $5M in sales. 

They continue to grow and be a dominant player in this space.

One of my favorite bits of gold from Ryan is how he redefined his definition of success. How he chose to live life on his terms and rebuild his life exactly how he wanted optimizing time on his terms.

Are you currently living today on your terms? If so, amazing! If not, do you want to live today doing the things you are about to?

I believe our life is the result of the choices that we make.

Over time, you can align your life to do more and more of the things that you want and less and less of the things that you don’t want.

I know it’s not as simple as simply snapping your fingers and I know it's not realistic to never do anything that you don't want, but I am confident that the result of our life is the result of the decision and choices that we make.

You can be intentional with how and where you spend your time and start to live more and more the life you want. 

You really can… and that’s exactly what we are talking about in this episode.

Today, my guest is Miki Agrawal. Miki is a serial entrepreneur and founder of THINX, Hello Tushy an innovative bidet brand, WILD - a gluten free pizzeria and Author of Disrupt Her - A manifesto for the Modern Woman and Do Cool Shit: Quit your Day Job, Start Your Own Business and Live Happily Ever After.

Collectively, her companies are valued at over $150M dollars. 

But life wasn’t always this way for her.

At 22 years she was working in investment banking and she had a wake up call following 9/11. Days after, everything changed… she felt her mortality and needed to live each day like it was her last. She had to follow her passions and not waste another day not fully living so she wrote down three things she wanted to do with her life… and pursued them one by one…

Todays Bits of Gold is that it's truly possible to live life on your terms, to embrace and harness your limited time on earth, and to live fully alive, doing the cool shit you want!

On todays, episode that is exactly what we are talking about.

• How to live your life with tremendous intention.
• How to have the self-awareness to decide what you want
• How to make the change in your life so you can wake up and live your dream life every day.  

Today my guest is Justin Welsh. Justin is an entrepreneur who previously helped build two companies to $50M+ ARR, he managed teams of 150+ people, and those companies collectively raised over $300M in venture capital. Now he's building a portfolio of one-person businesses to $5M in revenue. 

My Bits of Gold from the Episode: To me, the Bits of Gold in Justin's story is that you can rewrite your life at any point. Just because things are going great in an area… it’s never too late to make change and there is never a perfect time to start making lasting change. On paper, Justin had it all. An amazing executive role at a fast growing startup… but he eventually reached an unhealthy point in his life and he had the self-awareness to completely rewrite his life script. 

He became hyper intentional about the life he wanted to live, the changes he wanted to manifest, and basically created an entirely new life little by little. He and his wife flew to Nashville, bought the first house they saw, drove across the country and began their new lives. 

Today, he very much lives doing what he wants, when he wants, with who he wants. He is building a diversified portfolio of internet companies and he runs a boutique advisory firm for entrepreneurs and creates digital products for creators. He has a tremendous following on LinkedIn of over 250k followers and has a huge platform to help others build their life with more intention.

Today my guests are Dave Clark and Doug Cornfield. While in the 3rd grade, Dave Clark’s gym teacher’s actions and words would forever positively impact and shape Dave’s life. As an infant, Dave contracted polio that stunted his growth and left him without the full use of his legs. But despite that, and perhaps because of it, he was driven to excel in physical competition against so-called able-bodied people. He pursued his dreams and became a professional baseball player playing in the minors. He was the only professional baseball player to pitch from crutches. He has also coached in the majors, was a scout for the Baltimore Orioles and a radio analyst for the Florida Everblades.

Doug Cornfield connected with Dave Clark after his son was born with neither arm developed and one leg shorter than the other. Doug convinced Dave to partner and promote his amazing life’s story. 

They’ve since launched the Dave Clark Foundation which hosts the D3 Event. The D3 event happens through out the year and is a pro style practice with professional players at stadiums across the country where participants have the opportunity to hit, throw, catch and run the bases with instruction from the best regardless of anyone's limitations.

In addition they are the author of A Pound of Kindness a children's book that captures the childhood of Dave Clark, the only professional baseball player to pitch from crutches.

To put it bluntly… feeling burnt out sucks. 

It sucks to wake up in the morning without energy or a real desire to attack the day. It sucks to not wake up with that feeling of “oh… I’m excited for today.” 

On the contrary… it feels amazing to wake up with energy, with excitement, and so excited that it’s hard to sleep because you are feeling so energized with what’s to come! 

Now obviously, not every day will feel that way… but when you are in a flow state… you certainly have more days waking up with that sort of amazing, unstoppable force type of energy. 

Today my guest is Scott Anderson… Scott is a serial entrepreneur who has built and sold numerous businesses and today he is the CEO of of Doubledare Executive Coaching where he helps people who’ve hit a plateau… he helps people get out of their own way, recover and fully live their unique talent, passion and purpose.

But this wasn’t always his calling. Nearly two decades ago, Norman was serving a 100-year sentence in prison, but he was no regular prisoner. A natural-born leader, he rose to be the top gang leader within the facility, running all the daily gang activity. After an epiphany in solitary confinement, Norman made the decision to turn his life around. He had a simple dream to attend Harvard University and become successful.

Over the next 8 years, Andre worked 20-hour days to make this dream a reality. He taught himself how to read, then to study and understand the law, and then volunteered to participate in anger management groups. After winning his appeal and being armed with a GED and a dream, Andre walked out of prison in 1999, after serving 14 years. Having survived rock bottom, Norman knew he could help others do the same. He pulled from his life experiences and created The Academy of Hope and set out on his mission to teach both individuals and corporations how to turn any situation around.

In this episode, we share Andre's personal story and how you can turn your life around at any point to ultimately build your best life.

Through her personal and professional experience, she has come to recognize that Moms without a mom experience grief as part of their motherhood experience, even if they don’t realize it. The relationship moms have had (or didn’t have) with their mothers impacts how they see themselves but doesn’t define them. She believes it isn’t knowledge and skills that create resilience, but rather it is born through overcoming hardship, having a community, and living by one’s values. She is honored to walk with moms on their journey to becoming the mom they always wanted to be. Melissa’s psychological practice, Shoudt & Reilly Psychological Services has been serving residents of Berks County, Pennsylvania for over 22 years.

Joe and his late brother Jeff were born into the J W Foster & family business, but on their return after 2 years away from home on National Service, they asked questions... The year was 1955 and the brothers saw a business still rooted in the 1930’s.  

Their Father and Uncle were now operating the business and very much like another Sports Shoe company, spent more time fighting than collaborating. The result was that in 1958 Joe and Jeff left the Foster business to set up a new Sports Shoe company.  

The brothers founded Mercury Sports Footwear, which after 18 months they changed its name to REEBOK.

Joe had been advised to protect their company’s name by registering it.  

By 1965, Joe was on his way to the NSGA (National Sporting Goods of  America) Show in Chicago, which was the start of many Global  adventures and experiences that after 15 years brought him together with  Paul Fireman and later many Stars of film and television. As the surviving Founder of Reebok, Joe still welcomes the opportunity to  travel and recount those early stories from start-up to taking the company to a $4 billion business, overtaking Adidas & Nike to become the Worlds  No. 1 sports brand.

I feel lucky to share Joe's story today in how he built a global brand and a life he loves!

In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Romig who recently launched his memoir, "Don't F*cking Kill Yourself."

We discuss Jeff's story of loss, grief, and moving forward to ultimately build a life he loves.

We dive deep into his own anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideations and discuss how he has navigated really tough times.

In Jeff’s own words, this is not a self-help book. It is a memoir in service of two potentially life-saving ideas: that we can reduce the stigma around suicidal ideation by sharing our stories and that we can push through our darkest moments of suicidal thoughts by connecting our minds with the passions, people, and experiences that define the best parts of our lives.

Ever since Dave was a little kid he dreamed of playing in the NHL as a professional hockey player. After years of discipline, hard work, sacrifice, his dreams came true at the young age of 21 when he was drafted in the NHL…

Years later, his life would turn rock bottom, after being hit in a game and being carried off the ice in a stretcher after getting a fifth concussion. When he was down on the ice, he had an out of body experience... A spiritual encounter which ultimately led him off the ice to pursue his real dreams and passions in his pursuit to help others live a life of purpose.

Wiley is an entrepreneur, board member of Experience Camps, and friend.

Wiley is actually the person who recruited me to Experience Camps almost 7 years ago following losing my dad and I will be forever grateful for him for that as that organization has not only helped me, but has given me a larger purpose and personal mission to help kids who have lost a loved one. 

Wiley started Single Platform which was acquired some years back from Constant Contact.

He went on to become an active board member of Experience Camps a free one week camp for kids who have lost a loved one.

Wiley lost his dad while in high school and his loss has forever impacted his life. 

Today Wiley is focused on living a happy life, focused on his family, close friends, and his newborn son Matteo.

I really enjoyed hearing how Wiley’s perspective on life and business has evolved over the years and how he is laser focused on building a happy life with the people that matter most.

A media expert for 2 decades, she's helped broadcast the Olympic Games, produced an award-winning documentary for PBS, and has been featured in Inc., Business Insider, Bustle, The Huffington Post and on over 100 podcasts.

But today, I’m most excited to share her personal story, of loss, finding her purpose, and building a purpose driven life. 

After having 3 miscarriages + fertility treatments, Christine finally got--and stayed--pregnant in 2014. At 9 months along w/ the carseat in the car and ready for her baby her world was shattered. On March 4th 2015, she lost her first daughter Maeve at full term.

As devastated as she was, she became determined to rise from the ashes and make her life worth living. 

Today she is doing just that and more in making a difference in the world and creating a legacy for her and her daughter.

I feel so privileged to share this story with you today and hopefully open up a broader conversation around the difficulties rarely talked about in society around pregnancy. 

With that enjoy

We discuss his journey growing up & ultimately leaving the Mormon community and making millions in his early 20's to only realize he was incredibly unhappy and unfulfilled. 

This led him down a path of "finding purpose" with the help of plant medicine and more. We discuss his psychedelic journey into meditation, silent retreats, astrophysics, neuroscience, philosophy, and all forms of self-healing. Through the help of plant medicine, he found the purpose of life, realized his mistakes, and built a new reality. In this episode, we dive deep into how he shifted his perspective on life—and how you can learn to shift yours.

In this episode, we dive into his life. Adam was born with cerebral palsy and has been confined to a wheelchair for his entire life. Not satisfied with the status quo of using his handicap as an excuse for being overweight, Adam not only was able to lose over 65 lbs on a keto based diet while being restricted to a wheelchair, but afterwards created a product from scratch with his brother Noah who is a fitness enthusiast and successful entrepreneur that supported him in his weight loss journey. Today, their business Keto Krisp is growing like crazy!

Adam has persevered through incredible physical challenges as well as heartbreak to bring you one of the most inspirational stories you will ever hear. After losing his Wife, Father, and beloved Uncle all to cancer, and almost losing his brother Noah from a life threatening gun shot from a home invasion within a 4 year time frame, no obstacle ever seems to difficult for Adam to overcome and achieve.

Meg & Ryan have a fascinating story. They both always shared a dream and vision of creating a business. They had the entrepreneurial itch and kept throwing ideas at the wall. While testing and launching several businesses, they kept their day-jobs to pay their bills. They launched several businesses that failed and ultimately led them to move out west and start Bougie Bakes.

Today, Bougie Bakes is fast growing and just received funding from Trousdale Ventures, a growth equity firm founded by Phillip Sarofim known for investing in Better For You businesses. They are building the next great brand in better for you dessert.

Perhaps the highlight for me in this episode was their spirit to never stop or give up when they failed in their early businesses.

However, recently I realized that there is NO MESSY MIDDLE. I'm not stuck at all. No one, myself included will ever "figure it out." Life is a journey of ups and downs, and constant learning. Life is a never ending process and journey of growth and development and that journey can and will be messy. More and more, I'm embracing the messiness of it all. More and more I'm learning that this is not something to be frustrated about, but rather just the facts. Our journey through life will be a messy one.

My biggest takeaways:

• Life sometimes throws curveballs. If you don't learn from it immediately, you must learn from it eventually.
• Build your rich life. For Rebecca that meant living a life full of adventure, trying new things, and living a life of passion.
• Change can be scary, but be open to change. Eventually it can lead you to work that is even more fulfilling; way beyond where you were initially.
• You have limited time on earth... Nothing is guaranteed - so don't waste your time.
• Post traumatic growth and resilience are real. Rebecca's parents are not here, but she is still going to make the best life possible.
• We all have power; we just need to harness it. Sometimes being thrown into tough circumstances leads you to leaning into your inner power and developing resilience.
• You really need to believe in your mission, your story, what you are doing, and your goal. That is the only way you will deal with navigating roadblocks, naysayers, and when things get tough.

In today's episode, I discuss changing your mindset and creating a new mentality to approach anything and everything in life.

Instead of finding all the reasons why things won't work or can't work, approach life with a "what if it were easy mentality." What if you just believe things will work.

This may sound obvious, but when practiced, it can have a huge impact in your end-results.

1. You always have the time. We all have the same 24-hours in each and every day. It’s if you are willing to commit the time, you will see results. It’s the lack of commitment which is why most people fail. To achieve any goal, you must commit. Once you commit, you will find the time. As Wes said, you have to commit to a life-style, not a season. In fitness, a lot of people commit to a season. They commit to gettin fit for the Summer or a wedding, etc... But you will be more successful long-term if you commit to a lifestyle and not a season. 
2. Take care of your health. Wes was working on Wall St, and felt he was in shape. He was working all day and in the rat race. He would go to the gym, run on the treadmill, lift some weights. But was never really making progress in-terms of his health. One day, he bent down to tie his shoelace and was out of breath when he stood up. Diabetes was a part of his family history and he knew it was time to prioritize his health first.
3. Find your Passion and relentlessly pursue it: He was living in the rat race working on Wall ST. It was more of a job than his passion. He worked on Wall St for 10-years and burnout was regular. What separates a job and a career is doing something that you are passionate about. He found fitness and he became so driven to grow and dive deep. Your biggest failures can catapult you to your biggest success. You have these experiences and you have to learn from them. Pursue your passion. If you are living and building your passion you’d be willing to do it for free, and get up in the morning and put the work in. It’s something you can keep putting your drive into. Your experiences should make you better. Pursue what will drive you to be a better human not for the sake of money, but to be the best version of yourself and to help other’s be their best selves. 
4. Education is the biggest thing to personal growth. Wes talks about it focused very much as it relates to being a great trainer, but I personally applied this to my own life. It’s so important to never stop learning, studying, and growing. To do that, you have to never stop learning whether that’s getting a mentor, coach, reading, going to events, seminars, etc…

In this episode, I share more about my mom's diagnosis, and her short battle with cancer while she was sick.

One day, while my mom was sick, I was riding down the elevator to leave the hospital and in walked a young girl who had cancer. She was no older than 8 years old. My experience seeing this girl sick, battling cancer forever changed my perspective.

In this episode, I share how this interaction impacted me and why I can't help but be beyond grateful for all that I have today.

1. Run your own race. Focus on you. Don’t worry about the competition or others. 
2. Find a mentor: Find someone to help guide you. 
3. You need to be actively communicating to people in your life. Employees, team members, family, friends, so it minimizes discord and frustration. Communication is key. Entrepreneurship is lonely. 
4. There is no such thing as an overnight success. He is a 9+ year success. Things take time. It can not be about the money. If it’s just about the money, more often than not, you will eventually lose. It’s not a straight up journey. 
5. Mindset is important. He is viewing Corona as an opportunity for what can we create during this time? 
6. Cash flow vs cash. Positive cash flow is very important. Keep your fixed overhead low so you can survive and get through tough times. That’s important!

1. How to be a winner: In order to win, you only need to win 51% of the time. You can lose 49% of the time and still be a winner. To win, you just need one yes.
2. You need to try things: Trying things creates confidence, opportunity, and valuable lessons. With each experience, you will have more data and knowledge to know what you like and don't like, what you are good at and not good at, etc... After every experience, you are more prepared for future opportunity.
3. Don't be afraid to do things that are not sexy: Get your hand's dirty! Don't be afraid to do something just because you are scared how it may or may not look on your resume. (In my opinion, you should focus on building your life, not your resume.) Learn how to make a buck. Each experience will lead you some place and in that process, you will learn something new.
4. Focus on the most important things: Instead of focusing on the bad customers, focus on the good customers. Focus on your important customers and your best customers. Don't get distracted focusing on the bad. It's so easy to do that. Focus on the good.
5. Money Grab: It's okay if you have an opportunity to reach out and grab the money. Sacrificing short term for the long-term gain. However, if the grind becomes a 5, 10, and 25 year grind of non-stop work, re-evaluate what is important to you. You need to focus on long-term balance. But a short term imbalance of 1-2 years is okay.

P.S. Baseball cards are no longer the asset I thought I once had.

1. Just start: When Lisa started her business she didn't even have a name. She dove right in and committed to learning by doing.
2. Be open to risk: Don’t overthink the consequences or the outcome. Just take massive action and see what works and what does not work.
3. You need to take the stairs. There is no elevator to success: It s along journey. There are no shortcuts but it's well worth it. You will make a lot of mistakes along the way, but never lose confidence in yourself.
4. Not everyone wants to establish a passion and something they do as a side business to be a big business and that’s okay. Is what you are building a hobby, a passion, a side hustle, a business? Whatever you choose, it's okay. It's up to you to build what you want in both your life and business.
5. Don't dream your life away. You need to live your life. Dreaming is an amazing thing. But don't get lost dreaming. You need to take action and live your life.

In this interview, I sat down with Sunil Arora. Sunil is a professional coach for individuals and companies. He focuses on leadership and personal development for founders and executives, small business owners, and individuals in a professional transition. He draws on his diverse experience in finance, sociology, technology start-ups, and the public policy space to what he is convinced is his calling; coaching.

Sunil is also on the board of Experience Camps a free one week camp for kids ages 9-16 who have lost a loved one. I first met Sunil about 5-years ago at camp when we were both volunteers. Sunil lives in New York City with his wife and two young sons and when he is not immersed in his coaching business or Experience Camps, he can be found following politics and current events, watching Bay Area sports, traveling, and taking in live theater with family and friends.

We speak candidly about his own loss, moving forward, his coaching business, the concept and practice behind becoming time wealthy, and more.

If you want to become happier... if you want to become "time wealthy"... if you want to start living your perfect day... and if you want to live life with more intention and purpose... This interview is for YOU!!!

Wallace was reminding us that death shouldn’t scare us. 

Failing to live should. 

I’m host Daniel Goldberg, and by twenty-five, I’d lost both my parents to rare cancers, and it changed how I live, forever.

Since then, I’ve been on a simple mission: to find the world’s most passionate mentors, coaches, athletes, and entrepreneurs, and ask them a question: “How do you truly live?”

Join me, as I interview fascinating individuals who dive deep into thought-provoking topics, offering “Bits of Gold” on navigating adversity, building resilience, finding joy, and living purposefully. 

After 100 episodes, here’s what I’ve learned:

Death is life’s greatest teacher, showing us what’s important, where our focus should be, and why we should wake up with purpose every day, because our time on Earth is limited.  

The loss of my parents was my wakeup call. Let this podcast be yours: 

It’s time to forsake the mediocre, to wake up every day happier, more energized, and full of purpose.

Knowing that you can die tomorrow, should determine how you live today. 

Follow along, and join me every Monday as we learn from others who have found meaning in their daily lives.

Together, let’s discover the Bits of Gold we can all apply to live on purpose. 

So… ready to start living?
