How did David Mitchell’s military background shape his post-service goals?
Went through a lot of trials and tribulations before I kind of got back on track and kind of implemented everything that the military has taught me to progress forward to where I'm at today.
David Mitchell is a veteran health and wellness entrepreneur and the founder of Supreme Strip. He helps people optimize their health and performance through innovative wellness products that combine advanced delivery technology with everyday convenience.
Where was that sort of entrepreneurial journey sparked for you?
Some days I'm tired and I don't feel like doing it. Tried the coffee in the morning. I've tried the pre-workouts. You know, once you do the pre-workouts, it's not fasted cardio anymore. I just wanted to come out with a different way to get caffeine into my system without disrupting the fasted cardio portion of it, without having anything sitting in my stomach. And so we came up with the sublingual strips.
If you had to give one key tip for success, what would that tip be?
Just never give up and just...

Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast. Again, I am your host, Jason Tyler, and I am joined today by David Mitchell. David, how you doing today? Good. How are you? Doing good. Doing good. Welcome to the show. Thank you. Appreciate you being here. Appreciate you being here. So I want to just, you know, we're about to go into filming your episode here, and I want to kind of ask you, what's your number one takeaway that you want the audience to be able to learn about through your story?
Um, basically that no matter what your past is, or where you've been in life, you can always reach your goals.
There's always an opportunity to turn it around at some point. I'm a firm believer in that. Talk to me a little bit about, so you guys are coming in from San Diego. Talk to me a little bit about the West Coast. What's your history? How do I get the David that is sitting across from me today?
Well, I grew up in Palmdale, Lancaster, which is northeast LA County, high desert. So I grew up there.
What motivated David to create a new caffeine delivery method for fasted cardio?
When I was 17, I joined the military, got stationed in Kansas. And when I came back, I ended up moving to Oceanside in 2001. And that's kind of where I've been ever since.
Got you. Got you. So as far as, and this is something I talk to with a lot of the guys on the show, like I have interviewed a ton of guys that come in from the military. What was your experience of kind of like transitioning back into civilian life?
It was tough. So... I was stationed in Fort Riley, Kansas, so I was kind of out in the sticks and there was really nothing to do. So it took me a while to get adjusted to that. But then getting out and moving to Oceanside and the city life, it took me a while to adapt back to that.
Yeah, from what I've heard, I'm not military. I got a bunch of buddies from the military. But what I've heard is, like, you go from this, like, super structured environment. And then when you come back to civilian, it's like, all right, no one's telling you what to do anymore. Correct.
Correct. Yeah. That took a lot of adjusting. I think I came out strong in the beginning, and then I kind of fell to the wayside and kind of took a different path and then went through a lot of trials and tribulations before I kind of got back on track and kind of implemented everything that the military has taught me to progress forward to where I'm at today.
Now, when you mention trials and tribulations, expand on that a little for me.
One of my biggest ones was May 7, 2008. I got into a motorcycle, or I was a five, I'm sorry. I got into a bad motorcycle accident. Almost died. I spent six months in the hospital, about six months to learn how to walk again. Yeah.
Yeah, I almost lost my dad in a motorcycle accident.
