When Losing Everything Changes Everything

from The Playbook · host David Meltzer, Entrepreneur.com

In today’s episode, I join the Behavior Bitches podcast to share the moment my greatest fear came true and how it ultimately reshaped my life. After losing more than $100 million and going bankrupt, I had to confront the ego, habits, and beliefs that led me there. I talk about the lesson my mom taught me in that painful moment, why receiving is just as important as giving, and how community and shared values create real opportunity. We also discuss why surrounding yourself with the right people matters, the danger of doing business with “dicks,” and how responding to fear with humility, gratitude, and accountability can completely change your trajectory.
