The Secret to True Wealth: Inside David Meltzer’s $100M Fall and Rise
01 Aug 2025
David Meltzer is a legendary entrepreneur, speaker, and humanitarian who once lost everything — $100 million, his identity, and nearly his family — only to rebuild a life of more profound success and purpose. As the former CEO of the legendary Leigh Steinberg Sports & Entertainment agency (the inspiration behind Jerry Maguire), David lived the high life until it all came crashing down. That fall became his greatest gift. Today, he’s a best-selling author, top podcast host, and coach to some of the world’s most elite performers — from athletes to executives. His mission? To empower over 1 billion people to be happy through value-driven leadership and radical generosity. Known for his raw honesty and spiritual edge, David teaches that true wealth isn’t in your bank account — it’s in your mindset, your impact, and your ability to serve others. His story is more than a comeback. It’s a blueprint for turning pain into purpose.00:00 From Bankruptcy to Empowerment07:40 The Journey of Self-Discovery14:58 The Power of Saying No22:55 Navigating Private Equity and Trades23:55 Final Thoughts and WisdomMeet me at Home Service Freedom 2025 ⟶ https://homeservicefreedom.com/Check Out My Social Media:Tiktok ⟶ https://www.tiktok.com/@officialtommymelloInstagram ⟶ https://www.instagram.com/officialtommymello/Facebook ⟶https://www.facebook.com/thomasmello/My other podcast: <p><br></p>Home Service Expert ⟶ https://open.spotify.com/show/4WHQ3ldGThHsP1cfzNF33GLive Q&A submission form: https://homeserviceexpert.com/questionsLearn more about David Meltzer: https://dmeltzer.com/Key Topics: Millionaire habits, going bankrupt, sports agency, Jerry Mcguire,Empowering others to be happy, Comparison, Discipline, motivation, Saying no, Reading every day, growth, Private equity, Business, Wealth
