When most people think of success, they look at the top line: money, a thriving business and a lifestyle many people dream of.
While this may be viewed as successful, if you feel like you are stuck in your life or business you need to redefine success.
David Bayer was living a ‘successful’ life by traditional measure. David founded his first company shortly after graduating from Columbia University at the ripe age of 21 and by 30, he was starting a second business and raising millions from venture capital funds. In 2009 his life took a dramatic turn when he found himself in a 12 step program battling addiction.
Through it all, David gained a newfound awareness for living more powerfully.
In this episode David shares insights from his remarkable journey to discovery through major teachings and topics spanning 3,000 years across science, philosophy, religion, spirituality, metaphysics, and neuroscience.
Listen, and you’ll learn exactly why the act of deciding is more important than the how-to.

Favorite Quote:
- “Human beings have such an extraordinary ability to introduce unintelligence into a supremely intelligent system” – Raymond Charles Barker
- “Until one is committed, there’s hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then God moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occured. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.” – W. H. Murray from The Scottish Himalayan Expedition
