This is Entrepreneurs the Playbook, where each week I bring you some of the greatest athletes, celebrities, and entrepreneurs to talk about their personal and professional playbook to success.

We have a very special guest today

that we have teased this up for a pretty long time coming.

This is our first true celebrity interview.

We have David Melzer on the show. David, it's so good to see you.

So nice to be here. Thank you for including me and I am honored to be called a

celebrity. I always tell people I'm just you famous and I got that from Jamie Fox when he was in a movie we were working on in and given Sunday. It was his first dramatic role and I was blessed to go to the after party of the premiere with him and we were in line and when I got up to the door the

Bouncer looked at him and he's like hey what's your name? He said I'm Jeannie Fox and I started walking in with Jamie and no no no just you and so now I have reached the just you famous stage where I can get into parties but they leave my wife at the door.

So we have a lot of things.

Oh goodness.

Well, David, on that note, a lot of our listeners don't actually know a lot about you.

We have talked about you, as Alex said, but why don't you give us a little bit about your story and how you got into

podcasting and we can get into it after that.

Sure, well, you know, my journey as a speaker author, entrepreneur, investor, on a mission to empower over a billion people to be happy.

I developed three expertise over the last 35 years how to make a lot of money, how to help a lot of people, and how to have a lot of fun.

And that's my recipe for happiness because I've never met anyone who makes a lot of money and lives in abundance and has and helps a lot of people and well is can have the perspective of fun even though they still get kicked in the face like everybody else eight times a day and so my journey in that mission started in a world that I call a world of not enough. I was a victim. My mom was a single mom with six kids and no money.

Taught second grade, packed my dinner in a paper bag, drove us around as she filled greeting

card stands at convenience stores just so we could eat.

She instilled love and powerful education into us, but nonetheless we lived in that world where the only disease was caused by financial

insecurity and that led to a variety of insecurity or victimization or what I call the world

of enough for everything happens to you and you're constantly

comparing yourself to others by your identity which is based off of your bank account.
