S3 E13 Tasha Ten Spotlight: David McMurtry - Partnerships & Marriage

Send us a text

In episode 13 of Season 3, Arthi is joined by fellow Tasha Ten member David McMurtry with a heart warming discussion about partnerships & marriage. David's greatest accomplishment in life is his marriage to his beautiful wife Allison.

He shares how he and his wife met, started dating shortly thereafter, married, and have been living happily  since then.  David believes his wife is the foundation for which all of their goals are possible & is a true partner in making a difference in their community. 

David has always had a passion & desire to work with children and highlights that since 80% to 90% of the hardwiring of the brain is completed by the age of 3, the earlier we can teach children about the world and how to interact skillfully therein, the better chance of success they have.

David shares how coming to South Africa and teaching underprivileged children was a life-altering experience that enabled him to find his purpose, fueled too by his partnership and shared mission with Allison.  

Some wise words from David:

• “education is one of the great levelers we have on earth across all countries, ethnicities, race. With education, you have power, you can make choices”
• “accept the person for who they are and don't expect them to change”
• “what makes happy kids is happy parents"

Listen to the full episode for so much more insights and ideas offered by this wonderful guest.
