David's Saturday Night Sit Back (DSNSB)
When I started this show, I had no clear direction ā no perfect plan, no āideal guest.ā
So, I committed to recording 21 episodes and figured if something clicked, Iād keep going. Around episode 12, a guest flipped the script and started asking me the hard questions. I was terrified to publish it ā but Iād be a hypocrite to ask for peopleās truth if I wasnāt willing to give mine.
Then a 17-year-old approached me at the gym after hearing my story. He told me that at 16, he tried to take his own life. And somehow, hearing that episode gave him the hope to keep going.
This podcast is now a mission: to tell personal stories with an aim light the internal fire in young men and women across the globe who are walking through the dark night of their journey.
