97 - From Career High to Health Low: How Adversity Built My Entrepreneurial Spirit with David Williams

Kingdom ROI

Your host, Eric Dunuvant, talks with the Founder and Owner of, David Williams. David's story begins in his childhood, where he was confronted with labels and challenges that could have easily derailed his aspirations. He was told he had a learning disability, a stigma that often leads to lowered expectations and opportunities. However, David didn't let this define him. Instead, he found inspiration in his father, one of his first mentors, who instilled in him the value of grit and the importance of hard work.

David's passion for baseball became a proving ground for his resilience. He knew he wasn't the most naturally gifted player, but he was determined to outwork everyone else. This tenacity allowed him to close the talent gap and excel in the sport he loved. Unfortunately, an arm injury shattered his dream of playing professional baseball, but this setback only marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life.

Entering the workforce, David quickly made his mark at Circuit City, becoming the youngest store manager in the company's history. But life threw another curveball at him when he was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called ankylosing spondylitis. Rather than succumbing to despair, David's faith and determination propelled him to seek new opportunities, leading him to the insurance business.

A pivotal moment came when David invested his 401k savings into purchasing inventory from a liquidating business. This bold move paid off, as he sold the inventory to raise capital, which he then used to start his insurance agency. The road was fraught with obstacles, but David's unwavering determination and faith saw him through, ultimately leading to his success in the insurance industry.
