The David Guttman Podcast

Alan Hidalgo built four businesses across rideshare, marketing, e-commerce, and online education before turning 28 and got screwed over enough times along the way to build a brutal screening system for who he'll ever partner with again. In this conversation, he hands me the entire playbook.

You think rescuing your kids is love? Trystan Trenberth spent years thinking the same thing, until a therapist friend's single question forced him to see that his daughters didn't want him to solve their problems. They wanted to be heard. Trystan unpacks why failure isn't off the road to success but is the road, and how that same contrast principle reshaped his approach to fatherhood, fitness, and the overfunded whole life insurance strategy he uses to build wealth today.

There’s a moment Vince Ricci describes where time froze: a gun in his back outside his own home, his wife and newborn daughter inside, and two armed strangers waiting for him to open the door. Untrained and outnumbered, he made a choice that went viral hundreds of millions of times over. But the real story isn’t the shootout; it’s what he learned about getting “civilized,” the Rocky-esque warning about what comfort does to a fighter, and why he believes every man has an obligation to stay dangerous for the people he loves.

There’s a moment in most people’s lives when something so raw and undeniable happens that they can no longer pretend the old version of themselves is working. For Roger da Silva, that moment came at two in the morning in one of Rio’s most dangerous neighborhoods, high and staring at a man running toward him screaming “Lucifer.” In this deeply personal conversation, Roger walks me through a spiritual journey that began with a baptism at 14, detoured through addiction and near-death, and ultimately arrived at a life built on faith, family, and purpose.

Before you play a single hand of poker, before you take a single golf swing, Jaymes Rosenthal already knows who you are. In this episode, we explore how elite-level pattern recognition, developed through years of live poker and trading, becomes a lens for navigating every area of life. We go deep on humility, momentum, servant leadership, equity structures, and why the soft skills nobody talks about are the ones that actually compound.

Most people spend their entire lives waiting for others' approval, never stopping to ask what they actually want. Travis Chappell grew up inside a fundamentalist Baptist world so insular that he graduated kindergarten through college on the same 140-acre campus, committed to full-time ministry at age 12. In this episode, Travis and I unpack how radical self-awareness isn’t something you’re born with, but it’s something pressure forces out of you.

There’s no dress rehearsal for the moments that define you, and David Temko has lived that truth more than once. In this episode, I’m with the founder and CEO of C2 Financial to unpack a life shaped by entrepreneurial parents, a starter marriage, his father’s passing, and the unexpected clarity that comes when everything converges at once.

Growing up in the shadow of a celebrated father isn’t a head start, it’s a gauntlet. Frank Ioppolo built his legal career largely to prove something to himself, channeling that chip on his shoulder into becoming the youngest partner at Greenberg Traurig and eventually running his own firm, with his father in the office right beside him. The three years they spent working desk-to-desk taught Frank more than his previous two decades of practice combined, and the two are still collaborating today.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS Get Frank Ioppolo’s book, “ILG Blue Book” here: https://bit.ly/4dn9QrY Connect with Frank Ioppolo Website: https://bit.ly/4lFum9C Facebook: https://bit.ly/4bscz0W LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4lAeJQG Timestamps 00:00 Intro of Show 01:55 Reconnection of Frank and David 05:50 Frank Ioppolo’s Back Story 13:10 Lessons from His Mentors  20:06 Managing Romantic Relationships 28:38 Advice to His Children 33:26 Leadership Perspectives 37:48 Stance on Charlie Kirk 44:58 Marriage Journey 49:54 What’s Next for Frank? 55:32 Message to His Children Watch the “David Guttman Podcast” every Tuesday at 8AM EST on YouTube https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx X: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2 SUBSCRIBE TO: https://www.youtube.com/@OfficialDavidGuttman Download the “David Guttman Podcast” on all your favorite podcast platforms: Spotify: ​​https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v

Nobody who built something real ever had a business plan that went according to plan. Rick Niemi stumbled into entrepreneurship through a casual comment to a business broker, bought his first pharmacy at 24 with no industry experience, and became an Inc. 5,000 CEO. We break down why overthinking is the silent killer of entrepreneurial momentum, why "plan a little, work a lot" actually gets results, and how most people lose not to bad decisions but to no decision at all.

What if the path to ownership wasn’t buying more shares, but strategically eliminating everyone else’s? Starting with just 5% equity in a struggling photography company, Henry Coy-Burt proposed using the company’s own profits to buy out disinterested family shareholders at a locked $10 million valuation, dissolving those shares and watching his stake multiply as the company grew.

What does a special education student who refused to work for anyone and a 19-year-old facing three lawsuits on his first real estate deal have in common?

Kelly Reeser from Tech Farms Capital has built her entire investment philosophy around the opposite approach: coming alongside entrepreneurs as a support system first, investor second. In this conversation, we dive deep into how her background in economic development shaped her unique perspective on venture capital, why she looks for "perspicacity" in founders (that Wayne Gretzky-like ability to skate where the puck is going), and how her children became her first investors with $152.56.   Connect with Kelly Reeser: Website: https://bit.ly/4nv0E6C  Facebook: https://bit.ly/46kTkDH  X.com: https://bit.ly/4mehXrT  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3VUGDus  Timestamps: 00:00 Intro of Show 01:57 Kelly Reeser’s Entrepreneurial Journey 09:19 Engaging Her Children in their Business 15:26 Authentically Living Out Faith  20:16 Starting Out their First Fund 21:33 Metrics of Venture Capital Investing 25:36 Building a Scalable Firm 29:46 Venture Capitals as a Relationship-Driven Business 32:41 Green Flags to Look Out For in Capital Investmenting 34:53 What Does a Dream Team Comprise of? 41:41 Importance of Successful Exits 45:36 Assessing Founders’ Characteristics  53:08 Red Flags to Look Out For in Making Deals 56:38 Ego vs. Humility in Business 1:02:59 Connect with Kelly Reeser Watch the “David Guttman Podcast” every Tuesday at 8AM EST on YouTube https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx X: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2 Download the “David Guttman Podcast” on all your favorite podcast platforms: Spotify: ​​https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v

I thought I was interviewing Brett Swarts about capital gains tax strategy, instead, I got a masterclass on how financial planning reveals our deepest values about life, legacy, and what truly matters. His story of forgiving his father at 14, working nights at Cheesecake Factory while building an empire, and raising five kids with intentional daily questions showed me that the best wealth strategies aren’t just about deferring taxes, they’re about designing a life aligned with your soul. Sometimes, the most profound business conversations happen when we stop talking about business entirely. What’s one conversation that unexpectedly shifted your entire perspective on success?

My conversation with Mark Bustos,  the celebrity hairdresser who cuts hair for both A-listers and homeless individuals, completely shifted my perspective on what it means to build a meaningful career.

When I asked this ex-Marine who went from homelessness to training Hollywood stars where his strength comes from, his answer cut straight to my core: ”I have a responsibility to do something with my life because, I lost friends who don’t have the opportunity now to do things that I’m able to do.” His resilience isn’t rooted in personal ambition or military training — it’s anchored in survivor’s responsibility, in honouring those who can’t pursue their dreams. True strength, I realised, isn’t about being unbreakable, it’s about breaking in service of something infinitely bigger than yourself.

24-year-old CEO of RescAlert, Jakob Carmichael, just reminded me why age is irrelevant when you’ve found your purpose — he’s built an AI emergency response platform while many of us are still overthinking our next move. What struck me wasn’t his success, but his clarity. He saw Hurricane Harvey responders wasting resources because their systems couldn’t communicate, so he locked himself in his room and built a solution. Sometimes, the youngest voices carry the biggest wisdom, and the question isn’t whether you’re experienced enough to start, but whether you’re brave enough to begin with whatever problem you’re uniquely positioned to solve.  Connect with Jakob Carmichael: Website: https://bit.ly/4kpYhA8  YouTube: https://bit.ly/3GzW3QX  Instagram: https://bit.ly/408pT5L  TikTok: https://bit.ly/4ldPTVz  Facebook: https://bit.ly/44gTnRk  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4eAshrM  TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:48 Jakob Carmichael’s Back Story 09:12 Operating a Business as a 21-y.o.

I just finished an incredible conversation with Megan Weddle — a top salesperson who turned a potential disaster into career-defining success through one simple act. Picture this: She’s sitting in a cafe with her company president when the client texts, “Sorry, we need to cancel today.” Most people would’ve just accepted it, but Megan called the client and said something that changed everything, “Please help me. I need your help today.” That moment of raw vulnerability didn’t just save a meeting, it built the foundation for a relationship that generated massive business for years.

Can you build massive wealth while staying true to biblical principles, or do you have to sell your soul to succeed in business? My guest Bridger Rogers answers this question definitively after his own journey from spiritual wandering back to faith-centered entrepreneurship. He shares his vision of becoming "the biblical Andrew Tate," bringing traditional masculine values and authentic leadership back to a generation of men trapped in what he calls "paycheck dependence syndrome." This conversation explores the intersection of faith, wealth building, and purposeful living in a way that challenges conventional wisdom about success.

What happens when a successful Afghan family loses everything overnight and must rebuild from nothing in a foreign country? In this powerful interview, I sit down with my mother-in-law Zahra Raheb to explore one of the most remarkable survival stories you'll ever hear. From Soviet invasion and refugee camps to single motherhood and military service in combat zones, Zahra's journey reveals how ordinary people develop extraordinary resilience when life strips away everything familiar. We uncover her unique philosophy on raising independent children, why she believes complaining destroys progress, and how witnessing death in war zones transformed her perspective on daily problems. This raw conversation challenges viewers to reconsider their own obstacles and discover the mental frameworks that turn victims into survivors.
