Chapter 1: What is the $10M crypto mistake?
Chapter 2: What lessons did David learn from losing $10 million?
Yeah, but I've been building a community around me, period. But I've been doing in-person entrepreneurship workshops since like 2013 or 14. Wow.
Chapter 3: How did sports card investments lead to financial loss?
All right, guys, finally made it happen. From Atlanta, David Shands. We're here. One of the first podcasters I studied. So thanks for coming on, man. Yeah, you were a pioneer in the space, I'd say.
Thank you, brother. Thank you. I appreciate it, man. I've seen your work and you're outworking every single podcaster in the world. This is incredible. And that's a nice studio, too. Thanks, dude.
Nothing like your 750K studio, but...
Chapter 4: What strategies help in building a sustainable business?
Yeah, yeah. But I mean, shoot, you're doing your thing, man. So super proud of you, brother.
2017, 18.
18, so yeah, six, seven years.
So I made up for that time with reps. So 100%.
Chapter 5: Why is podcasting essential for entrepreneurs?
Yeah. So you're pretty good at this.
A thousand episodes in now, so it makes up for, because a lot of people only film one a week, but it's hard to get good fast if you're only doing one a week. How many do you do?
We're releasing two a week now. Two a week? We're already doing like five a week, but we're doing about two a week now.
And you got a couple shows now, right? You got a, what's the other one you just started? Social Proof and Hot Seat. Hot Seat, yeah. Yeah, that's my baby. Hot Seat's a fun one, right? Yeah, man. I feel like that can inspire a lot of people, that show.
Yeah, it's different too, man. So when I started, nobody was interviewing your average successful person from around your way in 2018. Interviews were kind of reserved for athletes or celebrities or breakfast club, things of that nature, Oprah. Nobody was like really, I don't want to say nobody, but a lot of people weren't just interviewing their friends. And it was just a unique thing.
So, you know, I'm getting all these people and we're getting this traffic. But now I notice that the same people that are on my podcast are like jumping around to other podcasts, which is what they're supposed to do. Right. But it's only so many story you have after you do seven interviews. Right. So, yeah.
I think what you're doing with the reps is you're probably finding questions that hopefully they're not being asked. But now that everyone's interviewing successful people, I thought to myself, well, I'm going to start interviewing unsuccessful people, people who haven't won. And I cook them for like an hour on the hot seat. And it's just fun. It's unique.
And you're not going to find it everywhere.
No, it reminds me of that one guy, Caleb Hammer. Oh, I love Caleb. Financial audit.

Chapter 7: What mindset is needed for overcoming financial setbacks?
And you're not going to find it everywhere.
No, it reminds me of that one guy, Caleb Hammer. Oh, I love Caleb. Financial audit.
After I did it, I found Caleb. And I'm like, yo, he's killing it. Where's he out of, you know?
I don't know, actually. If I had to guess, Caleb is not an LA guy, though.
I want to meet him. I want to meet him, too.
I wanted to go on the show because I've had some wild financial stories.
Really? Tell me one.
Lost $10 million.
You lost $10 million?
