Dave Valentine built 10 businesses that have collectively driven over $1 billion in revenue for 1,200+ clients—including Fortune 100 giants like Target, Time Magazine, and American Express. He now leads a global agency from a house by a river in the mountains—complete with three waterfalls—where strategy meets serenity. Merging conscious capitalism with unconventional marketing, he guides businesses toward growth that’s not just exponential, but holistic.
Dave faced a severe health scare at 29 due to excessive stress. This led him to make crucial lifestyle changes, including daily walks, meditation, and drinking more water. These changes not only improved his personal well-being but also exponentially grew his business. Dave discusses the importance of small, manageable steps in lifestyle changes and shares his current routines that help him maintain health and productivity. He and Tom highlight the power of balancing work and personal life for sustained business success.
