S3E13 with David Mont Virgen - Becoming Your Own Reflection

What if the most important masterpiece you'll ever create isn't hanging on a gallery wall — but reflected back at you every morning?Artist David Mont Virgen doesn't simply create reflective sculptures—he creates moments that invite us to see ourselves with greater honesty, courage, and compassion.During this thoughtful conversation, David opens up about his extraordinary journey from growing up in Tijuana to discovering his authentic voice as an artist, designer, U.S. Army soldier, and creative visionary.Together, we explore what it truly means to embrace every part of who we are, why authenticity creates stronger opportunities than trying to meet other people's expectations, and how creativity can become a pathway to healing, transformation, and deeper human connection.David's polished stainless steel sculptures challenge us to look beyond the surface. They become mirrors — not simply reflecting our image, but inviting us to reflect on our lives, our values, and the people we're becoming.Along the way, we discuss coming out, faith, identity, resilience, the unexpected lessons of military service, and why surrounding yourself with people who celebrate you may be one of the greatest decisions you'll ever make.This isn't simply a conversation about creating art.It's a conversation about creating a life that reflects who you truly are.If you've ever questioned who you're becoming, wondered if it's too late to change, or needed a reminder that your life can become your greatest masterpiece, this conversation is for you.To follow David on Instagram, you can find him here:  https://www.instagram.com/davidmontvirgen/Send us Fan MailThank you for joining us and we can't wait to welcome you back again next week!
