A veteran in the entrepreneurship space, David shares his story as an entrepreneur who came from humble beginnings to become one of America’s most sought-after speakers. Growing up, he tried many different businesses that never took off, but he never gave up. At one point, he even tried selling drugs, but that also failed, making him question his ability to ever run a successful business. Then, in 2010, David started his Sleepis4Suckers t-shirt brand for entrepreneurs, and things changed. His brand started taking off, and he began sharing his success with other struggling entrepreneurs. Gradually, he rose to the top, and his brand has continued expanding over the years.

Today, David has shared the stage with some of the most influential figures in the business world and organized physical events with a large turnout. One such event saw over 2,500 entrepreneurs who came to hear David share his captivating and relatable story about the most pivotal lessons that helped him turn his life around. These successes are why David keeps going and why he is determined to scale further in the future. His goal is to reach more entrepreneurs and help them join a network of like-minded people who will motivate and hold them accountable on their journeys. David is also diversifying his skills and growing an exclusive mentorship club that entrepreneurs from all backgrounds can join for more support.
