The $100 Million Loss That Made Sports Exec David Meltzer Unstoppable
Sports executive and serial entrepreneur David Meltzer became a millionaire at 24, a multimillionaire by 32, and then lost it all, only to gain it back a couple years later. In this episode, he opens up about how hitting rock bottom led to the most meaningful transformation of his life. We talk about his early obsession with money, the moment everything came crashing down, and the mindset shift that helped him rebuild with purpose. David shares how to find happiness in the grind, the power of asking for help, and why your biggest setbacks might just be your greatest gifts. This conversation is raw, honest, and filled with lessons on wealth, humility, and fulfillment from someone who’s lived both extremes.
