For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

27:15

In today’s episode, I sit down with David Abeles, the CEO and President of TaylorMade Golf, to explore the core values driving one of the most loved companies in sports. We unpack how originality, competitiveness, relatability, and a made-up word, “golftimistic,” have shaped TaylorMade’s identity and fueled its innovation. David shares how these principles are embedded in every hiring decision, every product launch, and every moment with his 2,200-person team. We talk about what it means to lead with intention, how he manages expectations in a dream job setting, and why staying grounded in purpose has helped TaylorMade thrive across decades of transformation.…

The Infinite Loop of Giving 16:16

16:16

In today’s episode, I talk about what it means to actually walk the walk—not just in business, but in faith, giving, and leadership. I break down the idea of the “infinite loop of giving” and why asking for help is just as important as giving it. I share how losing $100 million was the greatest form of protection I could’ve received and why true faith means trusting the process even when the evidence looks like a setback. If you’ve ever felt guilty for asking or unworthy of receiving, this is the message. Giving only works if you’re open to receiving too.…

His journey is emotional, chaotic, and deeply creative—and it all started when he chose to stop following rules and trust his instincts instead.…

The Never-Ending Chase: Why ‘More’ Will Never Be Enough 36:19

hace 4 días36:19

36:19

In this episode, I shared why chasing “more” often leaves us feeling empty, no matter how much we achieve. The finish line keeps moving when we base our happiness on the next goal. Real fulfillment doesn’t come from accumulation—it comes from clarity, gratitude, and alignment with our values. By redefining what “enough” means and shifting from scarcity to abundance, we begin to experience peace in the present, not just hope for it in the future. You already have everything you need—the key is removing what’s getting in the way. To join my next free Friday Training sessions, email me at david@dmeltzer.com…

We talk about the difference between feel-good encouragement and real growth, the importance of walking your values, and why leadership sometimes means pulling the car over to interrupt someone's self-sabotage. Chad's message is clear. If you change what you tell yourself, you change what's possible.…

In today’s episode, I break down why you can’t grow your impact or your business by keeping your value a secret. Fear, perfectionism, and worrying about others’ opinions are the real roadblocks, not your product or service.

The Joy of Missing Out: Finding Peace in a Noisy World 48:56

hace 18 días48:56

48:56

Many of the limitations we experience aren’t caused by external factors but by the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us. In this session, I shared how judgment—both our own and the assumptions we make about others—can cloud our clarity and hold us back. Instead of seeking validation, we can shift our focus to what truly matters: living by our values, embracing the joy of missing out (JOMO), and making gratitude a daily habit. Real growth comes from small, consistent changes that align our actions with our purpose. By prioritizing what brings us fulfillment and surrounding ourselves with the right community, we create a clearer path to success.
