Summary

Doctor, Lawyer or failure - those were the 3 options David Meltzer's mother laid out for his future. After seeing his mother's financial struggles, he picked a fourth - RICH. Straight out of the gate he was phenomenally successful, living the proverbial dream, until the walls came crashing down in 2008. He had lost his center. Lucky for him - his wife called him out. This shift had him reassess his values and shift his focus to 4 central principles: gratitude, forgiveness, accountability & inspiration. He realized that it's all about attention to intention and the most important thing is to help others. His mission: make a lot of money to help a lot of people and have a lot of fun.
