Dave's platform centers around the pursuit of excellence despite severe adversities.
He is a CEO and industry leader in the San Francisco Bay Area, who also suffers from bipolar disorder and is a recovering alcoholic. He is transforming the dialogue on mental illness and addiction and helping others rebound towards their own entrepreneurial success stories.
"I grew up in nineties’ Oakland with an American mother and Iranian father. As a respite from early symptoms of depression and trauma at home, I took to drugs and drinking. While a love for reading eventually got me out of trouble and through Dartmouth College, I never stopped using alcohol to treat an unknown illness. In my early twenties, after mania and depression finally drove me suicidal, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. A decade-long battle with mental illness and addiction ensued. But my life now is unrecognizable from its darkest days - I'm a husband, father, and the CEO of an expanding, eight-figure real estate enterprise.
I've leveraged my experience with bipolar and addiction and later business success to carve out a platform in the entrepreneurialism and mental spaces. I've been featured on multiple podcasts and interviews to discuss my entrepreneurial journey in real estate, my dual diagnosis, and their unique dichotomy. My forthcoming memoir entitled Coming Up for Air tells the story of my battle with bipolar disorder and addiction and illuminates my journey to business success." - David Shamszad
