What happens when you lose over $100 million and everything you thought defined your worth? For David Meltzer, it became the moment that saved his life.
In this emotionally raw and powerfully honest episode, Steve Ramona welcomes global thought leader David Meltzer, a man who once stood at the top of the sports agency world, only to hit rock bottom in public view. But David’s story isn’t about loss. It’s about what you find when the noise of ego, status, and striving fades. You find what you already are.
Through a lens of radical generosity and unshakable belief, David shares the journey of rebuilding from zero by embracing the infinite loop of giving and receiving. You’ll hear the story of a man sitting on his bed, hating the four people who loved him most—until he realized he actually hated himself. That realization? It sparked the transformation of a lifetime.
David's wisdom breaks through the myths of success, showing us that being happy isn't a goal—it’s a state of returning. He unpacks the misunderstood truth behind abundance, reveals the emotional sabotage of servant leaders who don’t know how to receive, and gives you the actual steps to align daily behavior with unstoppable purpose.
This isn’t just a conversation. It’s a permission slip to become who you really are, and the playbook to help one billion people live with joy.
P.S. If you've ever felt like you’re giving but not growing, this episode will open your heart and reset your trajectory. Reach out to David directly for a signed copy of his book and life-changing daily practices: david@dmeltzer.com

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
