David's Saturday Night Sit Back (DSNSB)

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when the thing that drives your growth is also the thing you're trying to escape?In this third appearance on David's Saturday Night Sit Back, designer, entrepreneur, traveler, and Club Retro founder Jack Scheerle returns for one of his most personal conversations yet.Jack opens up about growing up feeling inadequate, being bullied in middle school, struggling with a speech impediment, not knowing his biological father, chasing success, transforming himself through fitness, and the complicated relationship many high achievers have with self-worth.Along the way, David and Jack discuss friendship, masculinity, travel, entrepreneurship, golf obsession, self-improvement culture, social confidence, identity, and whether our lives are shaped by God, luck, hard work, or something else entirely.This episode isn't about becoming cool.It's about what happens when someone spends years trying to become enough.If you've ever felt behind, overlooked, insecure, or like you're still trying to prove yourself, this conversation is for you.#DSNSB #JackScheerle #SelfImprovement #MentalHealth #Confidence #Entrepreneurship #PersonalGrowth #AustinTexas #Podcast #ClubRetroSupport the showhttps://www.dsnsb.com/

Send us Fan MailThis podcast is for people who don’t recognize who they’ve become — and are ready to change it.I chose Allan Bader’s episode as the featured trailer for new listeners because my target audience is young men and women who are struggling to find themselves and their place in this world.While I believe most episodes of David’s Saturday Night Sit Back are created for one person but can be enjoyed by many, Allan’s episode is different — it’s one that most people can see themselves in.On paper, Allan and I couldn’t be more different.He was taking hardcore drugs as a teenager.I didn’t take my first drink until my 21st birthday.He’s straight.I’m gay.He didn’t know most of his family until his 20s.I grew up very close to my siblings.But here’s what we share:We both hated who we became.We didn’t know where we belonged.And we both had to hit a version of rock bottom before we could figure out who we actually were.If you’re new to the podcast — welcome.Grab your favorite coffee, tea, or sparkling water. Scroll through the episodes until a title grabs you — whether it’s Allan’s or another story — and sit back with us for laughs, honest storytelling, and hopefully, the spark that lights your own internal fire.If an episode impacts you to become the agent of change in your own life, I’d genuinely love to hear your story.You can email me at [email protected] end goal for this podcast is simple:One day, I hope to have thousands of emails from young men and women around the world who took control of their own story while listening to ours.I believe in you.— DavidSupport the showhttps://www.dsnsb.com/
