David was an immensely successful coach to celebrities, c-suite executives and some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country. Calendar full and in great demand, he was like our baker friend always “making the donuts”. He had no time to relax, always on the go. On top of that, while creating a nice life for his family and himself, there were other financial goals he had now and was anxious about the future.

He’s scoring right? He just blew away the 49ers and the Chiefs won their first Super Bowl. So, what happened?
Well, you know, being a leader coping as a leader is going to have a direct effect on your company, your family, the community around you. And that’s going to affect also, somewhere along the way, your income and your wealth, and after this is all over‚ because this pandemic will end.
