Your Identity Is Tied To The Wrong Thing

from The Playbook · host David Meltzer, Entrepreneur.com

In today’s episode, I share a hard lesson about identity, money, and the people we choose. From negotiating a billion dollar deal on day one to losing everything in 2008, I explain how tying self worth to money distorted my decisions and my circle. I talk about frequency, awareness, and why teams and positions matter more than chasing status. I break down how knowing what you want, reframing the meaning of your past, and aligning daily behaviors turns possibilities into probabilities. This episode connects faith, discipline, and attention to building a life that feels full, grounded, and honest, without shortcuts or empty promises.
