Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a raw comeback story with David Saylor — an eighth-grade dropout who went from drug addiction and a first-degree murder charge to building an eight-figure bootstrapped empire completely from scratch.
David breaks down the moment everything changed, what he promised God in a jail cell, and how a $700 bet turned into 40 retail locations, a private jet, and two pouch brands he believes will hit a billion dollars.
He also gets into his nicotine pouch brand ALTRD, why it hits differently than anything else on the market, and Motion Pouches — the nootropic pouch built for entrepreneurs who can't afford to be unfocused.
This conversation will change the way you see what's possible. Your comeback starts here.
