David's Saturday Night Sit Back (DSNSB)
When I started this show, I had no clear direction — no perfect plan, no “ideal guest.”
So, I committed to recording 21 episodes and figured if something clicked, I’d keep going. Around episode 12, a guest flipped the script and started asking me the hard questions. I was terrified to publish it — but I’d be a hypocrite to ask for people’s truth if I wasn’t 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.

Description:
In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I sit down with Kate Telge, co-founder of Open Spaces, a community-first platform dedicated to healing, connection, and authentic human experience.
Kate’s journey is anything but traditional. From waitressing tables to building marketing teams across the globe, she’s lived and worked in Guatemala, Cambodia, Thailand, and now calls Austin, Texas home. Kate is a living example of how embracing uncertainty and pivoting away from societal expectations can lead to a more purpose-driven life.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a job, lost in a relationship, or unsure of your next step—this episode is for you. Kate opens up about her own career pivots, her decision to host sober community events, and the tools she uses to help women harness the power of AI and alter ego work to build confidence and take control of their lives.
