Dave’s Advice


I think we're living through interesting times. It's so easy to get wrapped up in the political theater or the coronavirus or things that are going on with us.  I would say look, the greatest value that you're going to create is to stay focused on your mission and on your great purpose in life. The wisdom that I want to share is that look, all things are possible. Keep the faith and work hard and you can change the world with what you're doing.  There's a great quote out there. “Never underestimate the power of a small group of people. In fact, it's the only thing that has ever changed the world.”
