| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Dave Meltzer, and I'm one of the passionate few. |
| 0:05.6 | Hey guys, welcome to this episode of the Passionate View podcast today. |
| 0:09.3 | It's your host, Omar here. |
| 0:10.9 | And today we delve deep into the story of the CEO of Sports One Marketing, David Meltzer. |
| 0:16.6 | And for those of you that don't know David yet, I want to assure you that this is the most roller coaster story we've had to date. |
| 0:22.6 | Because not only did David go from rags to riches, but he went back down to rags and made those riches again. |
| 0:29.7 | Building a $120 million net worth, David found himself in the middle of a bankruptcy, which he was able to turn around through a positive mindset and staying connected |
| 0:37.6 | to goodness. To date, Dave boasts accomplishments in tech, business, marketing, and sales, |
| 0:43.5 | becoming a leader in all those spaces and has had tons of experience being the executives |
| 0:47.7 | in key influential companies throughout decades of work. In this interview, we hear how David |

| 0:59.6 | buy her house, buy her a car, and how those motivations actually proved fruitful because David |
| 1:04.5 | found himself making millions in his late 20s and never stopped from there. And in this interview, |
| 1:12.9 | David also talks about how he got it all and lost it all. So I want to encourage you guys to really pay attention because in this, |
| 1:17.0 | David talks about those accomplishments, including things like being the CEO of Samsung's USA |
| 1:21.6 | Mobile Division as he was the CEO of the first smartphone launch in history. So it's pretty awesome. Dave's experience goes |
| 1:30.0 | even deeper than that. There's tons of stories. And in this interview, he goes deep into the |
| 1:33.8 | power of relationships, how to be an effective leader, and how to truly start making your life |
| 1:38.3 | work. And also, I want to encourage you guys to pay attention because what's especially |
| 1:42.4 | interesting about Dave's story, unlike anybody else we've heard before, is his unique motto. |
| 1:47.2 | And that is to make a lot of money, help a lot of people, and have a lot of fun. |
