Drive With Dave

Drive With Dave

“An amazing lifestyle isn’t a members-only club anymore, but it still helps to know the right people, places and things.” My podcast is simple. Twice a month I’m going to sit down with fascinating people living amazing lives. Successful people, all enthusiastic about sharing what they do and their advice on adding adventure to your daily life. My guests reveal the practical tools of learning to be a race car driver, fly a helicopter, choose the right wine, buying an exotic car, or traveling in luxury. All people that have “been there and done that”, experts in their field, it’s a behind the scenes look at how to experience the fun stuff of life with hacks and shortcuts sprinkled along the way. I try not to script things, as I really enjoy more of a coffee house conversations or a chat over a good glass of wine. Podcasts are all around 30 minutes in length.
