Build Your Brand: Find Your Frequency

Tom McCarthy

I am super excited about my next guest. He is someone I’ve gotten to know over the past couple years, and he’s got a huge audacious goal, and it’s to make over 1 billion people happier. Which I love that about you, Dave. And David Meltzer is a guy that originally started in the sports world, and it was just a Super Bowl played recently, which probably some of you have watched. If you didn’t watch it I know you heard of it. And Dave goes to all the different Super Bowls. Back in the day, he was a very significant force in the sporting world. He was a CEO of Leigh Steinberg Agencies, and the movie Jerry Maguire was actually based on Leigh Steinberg. So Dave had a big part in that. And every year when the National Football League draft came, they usually would have, you know, the number one pick or the top quarterback. So he played a big role in that, but he’s expanded beyond that now. He still works in the sports world and is very big in that, but he is an energy master, and that’s why we have him here today. He’s someone who’s really studied energy in his life. I was in, we were just joking around, I was in his office and he had this, and maybe he’ll tell us about it a little bit later, but he had calligraphy up on the wall and he had me trace it with my hand. And when you do that, there’s a certain, because it has a vibration, right? That symbol, it increases your energy for prosperity, which is one of the things we want him to talk about. A lot of people are struggling in life because they don’t know how to create prosperity in their life. And it’s just an energy issue that they’re really dealing with. So, Dave, I’m really excited to have you here. Thanks for being part of our summit.

David Meltzer

Thank you for having me. And especially when I heard it was about energy, I really got excited because a lot of people bring me on to the TV, shows, movies, et cetera, about sports or technology because of my background. And very few truly understand my secret sauce, which is raising my awareness to energy. And I think, you know, for me, it’s important to tell everyone, nobody was more resistant to the stuff that I believe in today, to the stuff that I practice daily, than me. And I was one of those people that laughed at people like me, scoffed at them, made fun of them all the time. And I think that what’s, that is what makes me a more significant figure or believable figure in energy, is that I started my path, my journey in complete skepticism and doubt, like the majority of the people in the world. And through the last 16 years, an credible journey of understanding what I call the great reconciliation of energy, because money’s an energy, time is an energy. And of course the higher levels of energy exist as well.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah. Everything’s energy. I mean, that’s our belief. So you said you resisted it first, probably like a lot of us. I’m in that same boat. How did you come to learn more about it, and see the impact and really start to adopt now, just like, I think that’s my secret sauce too, is really understanding everything’s energy, and energy follows thoughts. So we can shift the world. We can literally become Alchemist, but how did you learn that? Tell us a little bit about the journey to that.

David Meltzer

So, you know, I was going to, I was running the most notable sports agency in the world, very caught up in my own ego. I was interfering with the energy that I was blessed with and I was flying to India to do a business deal. And this wonderful woman next to me, looked at me and she goes, “Hey, are you okay?” And I looked at her, I was like, like literally in my mind, “Do you know who I am?” You know, like I’m giving her the Jerry Maguire look, you know?

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

David Meltzer

Yeah, you know who I am? And then she said, I said, “No, I’m fine, why do you ask?” She said, because you’re so full of light, but you’re blocking it.” So I rolled my eyes, I’m like “What?” She said, “Well, you have so much light, but you’re blocking it, do you meditate?” And I said, “Meditate? I don’t got time to meditate. I’m a multi-millionaire I run the most notable sports agency in the world, which means not only do I have money, but I have access to everything that everybody desires. Why would I meditate? I don’t have time to meditate. I grew up broke, I have everything I ever dreamed of. ‘Cause I made it happen.” And she said to me, “Oh, that’s too bad.” She goes, “Because I could teach you to vibrate faster.” I was like, “What?” She said, “Yeah. You know, everything vibrates. And you can only be aware of that which vibrates equal to, or less than you. So the earth vibrates the slowest, then plants, animals, humans, then sound, then light, and then thought.” And that really grabbed my interest. And I’m like, “Wow.” She goes, “Do you know what vibrates the fastest?” I said, “No idea.” She said, “The truth.” She said, “What if I could teach you to vibrate faster? What if I could teach you to utilize energy, to raise your awareness? You could do all types of things and pursue the truth in your life.” And I, you know, was interested to talk to her and she said, “I’m doing this four day workshop, theta meditation, quantum healing, energy workshop. You should stay, I’ll give it to you for free, four days in India, you should stay.” I said, not a chance. I said, “I don’t have time you know, sorry.” And then she said to me, something that changed my life. She said, “Oh, that’s too bad because I could raise your awareness to something that may be of interest to you.” I said, “What’s that?” She goes, “When to buy yourself.” I said, “What?” She said, “Yeah, I could teach you to raise your awareness so you know when to buy yourself.” Is that valuable to you?” And I said, “Very valuable to me.”

Tom McCarthy

Now you’re my language. You’re thinking, right?

David Meltzer

Exactly. Then I had to convince my wife, because I was so anti meditation. My wife’s huge spiritual believer.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

David Meltzer

Like I used to make fun of her. And now I’m telling her I’m staying four days in India, you know, for a theta meditation, quantum healing workshop, she’s checking everything out. She can’t figure my angle, she can’t figure my scam. She’s thinking what’s going on. But that’s what got me to change my way that I look at things. And from there, everything in my life started changing because I started learning energy, vibration and frequency.

Tom McCarthy

That’s awesome. What are some things that started changing after you learned that?

David Meltzer

Well one of the things was just aware of the things that were bleeding me. You know, you would think that you raising the awareness would you know, allow you to have more, what is happening was, I was interfering, bleeding and spending all of my, and it’s later on in life I learned this, but there’s five, people talking about intention. And that was my initial thing. You know, attention plus intention equals coincidence. I started, you know, studying the secret, studying Wayne Dyer, studying Esther Hicks, studying all these people. But you know, now I’m participating with them, right? These are my associates and friends. But the interesting thing is, there was five levels of vibration to intention. One, the original was what I do. And I was one of those people that, I do all the right things, why isn’t it happening faster? Then I learned, it’s what you say, and you gotta speak it out, David. Then the next level was the one you just mentioned. You gotta think it, right? Think and grow rich, all these great things. So I started, you know, Vision Board’s John Assaraf became an associate of mine, and you know, Vision Boards. And so now I was not only doing like a normal business person, but I was saying, and thinking, then became the belief, as the fifth, the fourth level. And now I’m at the level of feeling and intuition, which is why I trace calligraphies, wear my beads. I’m constantly in a state of mind that says, I am happy, I am healthy, I am wealthy, and I am worthy. What am I doing to interfere with it? Not I have to go get all those things.

Tom McCarthy

I love that. And when you do that, like you did the different levels, your actions change when you have different beliefs and thoughts and energies you’re guided, and the intuition part like, you were taking actions before, but not to the level that you’re acting now, right? I mean, it’s just a whole different level. And it’s almost like having the wind at your back. At least that’s my experience.

David Meltzer

Absolutely. And I think part of it too, is something that people miss all the time, is how the reconciliation between three big laws. And the first law is the most overlooked. And I call it the law of gravity. So the law of gravity to me says, the earth earth is spinning, hurling and forcibly moving at such a rate, how are you and I just sitting here on Zoom, right?

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

David Meltzer

Because we’re exactly where we’re supposed to be. We’re at the right place at the perfect time. We need to appreciate where we are, acknowledge where we are by having the faith to give it away and then ask for more. So the law of gravity is the first step that everyone overlooks. Then the one that most people participate in, and they expect instant results is called the law of GOYA. Get off your ass, right? Doing. People are like, they’re rolling the mythisiphysist from the stranger, right? Kemu said, push the boulder to the top of the hill, just have it roll down next day. They live their lives like tubes. Food in, food out. Food in. And then if you institute the law of gravity and the law of GOYA, you get to what I call the law of assumption or allowance or attraction. See, you gotta make room, and then ask for all these great things. And I think what you are talking about this flow, this tailwind, isn’t it amazing when you know, you’re at the place at the perfect time. And pain, setbacks, failures, and mistakes become promotion and protection. And you’re using the law of GOYA still, you’re still out there making it happen, how easy it happens and how much comes to and through you for others, this is the biggest change that I want people to experience with energy, is there is a flow of reconciliation between all of these different mindsets that you can’t just sit at home haul on your mom’s couch, sick, dreaming about a Ferrari.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

David Meltzer

You gotta be happy where you’re at, you gotta make a nice plan, do everything you can, the Ferrari will come easier than you think.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah. Interesting story happened to in my family recently, so my son, that belief I’m always in the right place at the right time is one that, you know, I was talking to him about, programming his mind with. And so he was doing it for about a week and he called me up. He’s 25 years old lives up in LA. And he said, “Dad, you’ll never believe what happened.” I’m like, “What?” He said, “I’m walking down the street in West Hollywood, this guy’s jogging towards me in the opposite direction, he stops right in front of me, and he said, I don’t know why I’m stopping right now, but I just feel like I have to talk to you.” And my son’s working on a deal to buy a very, a big company. And for about a billion dollars. And so this guy says, “What do you do?” And my son says, “Well, I’m an investor.” And he’s 25 year old, but he works with some senior partners. And the guy said, “I’m an investor too.” He said, you know, they talked for a little bit. He goes, “Here’s my card. If there’s ever a reason we should talk, let me know.” My son didn’t know who he was, he got back home, he looked him up, he’s the founder and managing partner of a $4 billion head private equity fund actually. And my son told him about the deal, and the guy agreed to meet like a couple days later, and put $100 million into the deal. Not only that, brought another guy, that’s putting another $100 million into the deal. From, and think about, if he would’ve been there a minute earlier, a minute later, but the mind is so powerful when it’s programmed, you know, so you mentioned that that program, that’s such a powerful program for everybody to have.

David Meltzer

And it’s a consciousness. So there’s a reason that guy stopped as well.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

David Meltzer

Not to-

Tom McCarthy

Yeah and the guy said I’ve never stopped like this. I don’t know what I’m doing.

David Meltzer

It’s incredible. I had a very similar circumstance in Thanksgiving time when I went to New York, just for family. And then at the last minute, get invited to the first, the First Responders Children’s Foundation event. And they invited me to be right on the path of, you know, the parade. And I went there to spend, to see the parade, next thing I know I’m sitting there in the VIP thing and a guy up there is speaking and I’m like, I gotta get this guy on my podcast. He, and then Scooter Braun is there, and then, and the next thing I know, I’m like, I gotta meet this guy. He the one that brought Pokemon, he donated all these millions of dollars to the First Responders children. So anyway, I end up there, what do I do? I’m walking out and I tell myself, I gotta meet this guy, but I’m not gonna bother him with everyone else, ’cause it won’t be significant. This kid stops me, he’s on, “Mr. Meltzer.” I was like, “Hey, how are you?” He goes, “I’m Garrett White, I went to Yale. I used to intern for you, you changed my life. In fact, I wouldn’t have the job that I have now, but for you.” I’m like, “Oh what do you do?” He goes, “Oh, I work for this man.” His name is, you know, Alex

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

David Meltzer

I’m like, you mean the Alex Cone, that Pokemon, Alex Cone? The guy I wanted to meet? He goes, “Oh yeah, you should have him on the podcast, Dave, he’d be incredible.”

Tom McCarthy

Yeah. That’s awesome.

David Meltzer

I turned the corner, who do I bump into? The woman who gave us the tickets, is Alex Cone’s wife, Alex Cone is right there. First thing out of his mouth, next thing I know we’re doing all this business together, he is on the podcast. You know, this mind-

Tom McCarthy

Awesome.

David Meltzer

Is an incredible thing. If you can stay in the consciousness. The same way though, it works for your favor when there’s things that aren’t working out for you. Einstein alone says you can’t solve a problem in the same consciousness that it’s created. That is why we have to be aware of our frequency, to change the vibration and frequency, to enter a new consciousness that will solve something that the previous consciousness won’t.

Tom McCarthy

And that’s where people struggle, because they don’t see it as anything that they’ve created when that’s what the mind is always doing. It’s creating, and to transform is such a struggle for most people, to leave behind these old things they don’t really like. These old thoughts and beliefs, but they wanna keep dragging them along. Hey, let’s talk about prosperity a little bit. So that’s obviously I know something you’ve got a lot of passion for, not just for you, but helping the whole world it’s experience more of it. What are your beliefs around prosperity? Like is it possible for anyone to become more prosperous in their life?

David Meltzer

Absolutely. And it’s really understanding the three world’s energetic worlds. First of all, you have to realize that money, and this is why I tell people, when I wanna make you happy, I want you to make more money to live in abundance, to help more people and to have more fun. There’s no doubt on earth that money does not buy happiness or love, but it allows you to shop. And if you shop for the right things, for the right reasons, you’re gonna be, he’s super happy. Including I had a kid that you’ll love this, Tom. I had a kid that I was coaching and he made a ton of money. Right? I was so proud of myself. I elevated him inner city at risk kid millionaire. And what does he do? He buys a Lambo. And I’m like, “Oh, I didn’t do my job right.” ‘Cause I was a guy who owned those kind of cars, and I bought them for the wrong reasons. You know, I wanted people to be impressed by me. So I said, “Hey Tey,” his name’s Tey. I said, “Tey, why did you buy the Lambo? You know, I’m kind of disappointed. I thought you were beyond that.” He said, “No, Mr. Meltzer, it’s actually what you taught me.” I said, “Oh, what did you hear me teach you?” He said, “To buy things for the right reasons.” And I said, “Oh, why’d you buy the Lambo?” He said, “Because when I got a car like this, kids come up to me that look like me, come from my neighborhood. And they say, what are you an athlete? What are you a musician? How’d you get that car? And I look at ’em I say, No, I read books and help people.”

Tom McCarthy

I love that.

David Meltzer

I’m like whoa.

Tom McCarthy

I love that. Yeah.

David Meltzer

I said, you bought the Lambo, I get choked up thinking about it. And so he understands what I taught, which is three worlds. See, we both grew up in a world of not enough. I’m a victim in that world. Things happened to me, right? And so you have to move from the world of not enough mentally, into a world, which I said the second time, which I call the world of for me. So the world of not enough is to me, the world of just enough is for me, like why I was worried about Tey Swad buying the Lambo, is because I thought he was living in a world for me, buying things that he doesn’t need, to impress people he doesn’t like. With an objective energy, a currency, objective energy you put into the flow to get what you want. Money is not gonna do it, but he wasn’t. He was living in a bigger world than me or my perception, because the world of just enough is for you. The world of more than enough is through you. See there’s three steps to live in the world of more than enough. You have to reconcile the objective energy, money, that you put into flow to get what you want, with another objective energy that you put into the flow to get what you want. Faith. A faith says this. I believe there’s something bigger than me, an omniscient, all knowing, all power full abundant source that has more than enough of everything for everyone, and it loves me, me personally, more than my mom loves me, or me than I love my kids. And therefore, whatever I want or ask for, that is gonna help me with the all knowing, not with what I think is gonna help me, the universe or source or God or Jesus, Muhammad, Joseph, Smith, whatever you believe in, will provide. Why is this important? Because it’s a three step process. Let me tell you number one, appreciate. Gratitude’s the most important thing that I can teach. 

It’s the easiest thing, it takes 0.1 seconds. It’s free. If you say thank you before you go to bed, or when you wake up and you actually remember to do it and do it, which very few people can, if you can, your life will change. Why? Because you appreciate everything you have. That adds value or expands, align with the universe expanding. When you appreciate you start here, I appreciate what I have, now it expands. Now the only way to acknowledge, to acquire the knowledge of what you have, is to give it away or let it be stolen, lost, manipulate it from you. Don’t get in your way, it happened for a reason. Don’t worry. So we appreciate, acknowledge, then we have the missing component. See my mom’s 80 years old. She raised six kids on her own. Second grade teacher who packed my dinner in a paper bag and then worked at convenience stores, filling up turns styles, just so we could eat. Sometimes on foods stands, but we could eat. My mom gave her entire life. She’s 80 years old. She gave all her money away for her children in her community. She taught second grade, she did the jobs, she’s taught Sunday school. She gave everything away. Now she’s 80 and she didn’t do the, she appreciated everything she had, gave it all away, but she never asked from more because she felt guilty. She didn’t feel worthy. She felt like I, who am I to ask for more? What happens is, she built this big vessel, and then it slowly depreciated as her age went and dissipated. So now she gave away her health, she gave away her wealth, right? And she ends up in a place that she didn’t wanna be in, which is I’m happy to do it and my siblings are, but she doesn’t want people taking care of her.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

David Meltzer

Because she forgot to ask for more. She didn’t have the faith like I do in the world of more than enough to ask for more, to ask bigger. See, I don’t live in a zero sum game when it comes to money.

Tom McCarthy

That’s key.

David Meltzer

Right? It’s not, if I receive you lose some. No.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

David Meltzer

There’s enough for both of us to be rich bro, and we’re proving it. And every time I ask for more, I’m adding on to what already exists, I’m not taking it away.

Tom McCarthy

That’s right. Yeah. Well, one of my favorite quotes from Buckminster Fuller was that you can go to the ocean and take out little teaspoon, or you can go and take, you know, buckets and buckets and the ocean doesn’t care. ‘Cause it’s constantly refilling. And so that, but that is one of the big stumbling blocks for people. I would say probably 99.9% of the population on the planet doesn’t believe or they do believe that it is a zero sum game. If David creates tremendous wealth, and that’s taking away my chances, versus I look at it, I want you to go bigger. ‘Cause it’ll inspire me to go bigger. And hopefully that’s the reason I go big financially, is not really as much for me. I mean, not for me, ’cause honestly I’ve got plenty, but I just wanna prove that this works in such a way, kinda like the guy with the Lambo, you know, kind of that same angle where other people can go, all right, if he can do it, right? Anyone can do it. ‘Cause I don’t see myself as that special. So I love what you’re saying I love that.

David Meltzer

It makes me lie so nice, right? We’re the Steph Currys of finance. What I mean by that is, when you look at LeBron James and you’re an 11 year old, you look at him and you love him and you’re impressed, but you can’t identify and say, I can do what LeBron does. Right? But all the little kids that look at Steph Curry, and they look at him and say, “Hey, I can do that.” So what’s nice about you and I, is all those young men and women that look at us, right? They’re like, if these two idiots can do it, I can do it. That’s for sure. We don’t set the bar so high that nobody would believe that we could do it.

Tom McCarthy

Well, and it’s not, it’s just not, you know, not just being humble either. Like I truly believe like if I can do it, anyone could do it. I don’t see myself as anything special. You talked about your upbringing. I had a similar upbringing, you know, we didn’t have those advantages, and we made things happen. So we’re not anything special. We’re just trying to get the word out on this. I love that practice of saying thank you every day, gratitude. I know some days I go to bed just like, and even if it wasn’t a, you know, you say, oh, it’s easy if you had a perfect day. No, not even a perfect day, but just I’ll say thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and just feel it, it just feels so good. Even if I had challenges that day, what are some other practices Dave, you would recommend for people to break through the blockages that are keeping them from the prosperity and the health and wellness and happiness.

David Meltzer

Yeah. And I do think not only for what I have had, what I have, but what is already what I always say my future. I’m already thanking the universe for what I don’t have.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

David Meltzer

I know it’s there to clear the interference, but I have five daily practices that help. And the first thing is, I want people to start realizing how important knowing what you want is, and taking it’s a daily practice to say, this is what I want personally today. This is what I want experientially today. This is what I want to give to today. And even is important, this is what I want to receive today based upon midterm and long-term objectives. So for example, I wanna live to be over 111 years old. Therefore health is a non-negotiable priority every day, and I’m not afraid of changing my mind tomorrow. I’m not afraid of being a hypocrite, I’m not afraid of forgiving myself for mistakes, failures, setbacks that I may occur. But if I know my what, I’m going to be headed in the right trajectory every day. Then once I know my what, it gets easy. I know who I can inspire and help with my what, and who can help me and inspire me with my what. And I ask then I know how by looking and studying. This is a lot of people don’t understand, I don’t work, Tom, and I know you don’t either. I have activity I get paid for, activity I don’t get paid for in my sleep. I have activity I planned, I don’t have planned in my sleep. And I use this what and who to determine how to utilize the manmade construct of 24 hours, to be productive, to provide as much value. Accessible, to be accessible to others, to help them and to ask for help, but also to receive. To access what I want. And then finally, to be gracious. And you know, gratitude’s interesting as a lens because it’s not just being grateful for everything. In the pragmatic world, you have to do an analysis. And I use the great chain of feeding as my analysis of gratitude. So I meet someone, they have a closed mind, and I meet other people that have open minds. Well I use, and I’m grateful to meet them both, but I spend my time knowing that the, I don’t wanna spend it with people that are gonna bleed me, these closed minds.

Tom McCarthy

Right.

David Meltzer

So I let them dissipate, dissolve or fall away, or even fire people as I grew up a little bit, fire people from my life, ’cause most people spend 80% of their time, money, emotion, and value on things that bleed them. People, ideas and places that bleed you. When you become very disciplined, right? You can either suffer from discipline or regret. When you suffer from dis discipline, and you see things in the pragmatic manner, and you’re gracious in a pragmatic manner, you’re going to receive so much more and not waste time, emotion, value, and money on things that bleed you. And-

Tom McCarthy

Hey Dave, stop right there for a second. ‘Cause you said something really interesting that I want you to expand upon. You said you fire people from your life. Which one of my concepts in business is, surround yourself with winners in life. It’s had this network of empowerment, and a lot of people that are the reason why we suffer, like you talked about, are people that maybe we’ve had in our life for so long and fire seems kinda like a harsh word, but it really is the best thing for you and for them usually, right? But talk more about that. Fire people from your life. ‘Cause that might be a concept. I don’t want that to slip by. That’s a really important concept here.

David Meltzer

Changed my life and I owe all the gratitude to my wife who, you know, I was a multimillionaire running the sports, I lost everything. I lost over $100 million and I almost lost my health and my wife. She was the one that straightened me out. But one of the first things that she helped me with, was to fire the people that were bleeding me. And this is how I did it. I went up to some childhood friends that I felt obligated to and I said, hey, I can’t be your friend anymore. I can’t associate with you anymore. And this isn’t about you. This is about me. I don’t like who I am when I’m around you. I get choked up thinking about it, because these are close friends. And I said, I want you to know I love you, I pray for your happiness, and I’m grateful for our friendship, but I don’t like who I am when I’m around you, therefore I cannot be around you anymore. And I only will pray for more happiness and love. And it was extremely difficult.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

David Meltzer

And yet the minute I released these bleeders from my life, holy the moly, I made room for people like you, Tom in my life. People that feed me, people who teach me, people who inspire me. And like I always said, what am I doing to interfere with what I already am? Happy, healthy, wealthy, and worthy. All of a sudden this universe opened up, and more people like Tom came into my life. More opportunity. More people are stopping on the streets going, “Hey, I got a hundred million for you, Meltzer. I’d love to help you.” Instead of, “Dave, let’s go to this club and do things that we’re not supposed to be doing that can interfere with your health, your happiness, your wealth, and your worthiness.” Big difference in our lives. And so I think it’s a big and you know, very difficult thing to do, but I practice saying that, you know, this is about me, not about you. Saying about-

Tom McCarthy

I love that, yeah. That was the one you used in high school too. Right?

David Meltzer

Right. Exactly.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah. But the, that really does put it on you and it makes it a little bit ease, potentially easier for them to accept, I think the big thing is just having the courage to go to a family member or somebody that you’ve known for a long time, like you said, childhood friends, but if you don’t have that courage, you will continue to suffer and struggle and have your energy blocked. And you’re enabling them to struggle too, right? A lot of times being the person that is let go, I know in relationships, right? Or even in business situations, sometimes when things don’t work out and you get to part, it’s painful, but then you go on to something so much better. So I think it could be healthy for both parties, but you have to have the courage to do it, like you talked about.

David Meltzer

It was in my case. In fact, two of the individuals that I fired from my life, ended up, you know, in recovery, ended up doing extremely well, you know, just happily married now, extremely financially abundant, healthy, you know, all these great things. And it makes me so happy and proud, that to see them elevated as well. And as much as maybe I didn’t feel good around them, they may not have felt so good around me either. And maybe what I did was courageous for the both of us.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah. ‘Cause we get stuck in patterns and other people are energy, right? And so when those energies collide, if they keep the same pattern, it’s unhealthy. But I love that you brought that up. That is such a powerful principle. Especially even people healing from a physical illness. If they surround themselves with the same energies, human beings, the shows they watch on TV, it’s gonna be really hard for their body to ever heal. So everybody listen to what Dave is saying. This is so critical. I wanna ask you a question about this over 1 billion people that you want to help be happier. How the heck did that come into your mind? That’s a huge goal, I love that, but how did that come into your mind? And I know you’re doing things to make that happen, but how did it come in, and what’s your plan to make that come to fruition?

David Meltzer

I’m actually sitting very close to where it came to my mind. My daughter at the time was 12, I have three daughters and one son. And she was just beside herself, upset. Crying, I couldn’t get it out. I said, “What’s the matter?” And she said, “My friend Blank, killed herself.”

Tom McCarthy

Oh man.

David Meltzer

At 12. And I’m like, “What did you say?” I said, “I gotta go.”

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

David Meltzer

I hugged her, I said, “I gotta go.” So I went out on the beach, which you know, and I just started walking and I was in tears, as you could tell, just so like, I understand older people, I understand people with CTE and depression and PTSD. And I, you know, I’ve worked for years in mental health and helping people. But like how could an innocent soul, that was 12 be so distraught, you know, that this wouldn’t even be a thought, you know? So I’m walking the beach and I’m thinking and meditating and I’m thinking, what could I do? You know, like my, I’m so happy and my children, like, what am I doing? This is, I gotta do what’s most important to me. So I started doing research about happiness, and I learned of course, more of gratitude, and gratitude is the only common denominator of happiness, no matter how sick or well, rich or poor, tall or short, skinny or fat. Happiness is derived the only common in gratitude. And I’m like, hmm, this is an area that I know, and I doing more research and I realized that suicide, this is pre, pre-pandemic. Suicide was the fastest growing cause of death in almost every demographic. Yeah. And I’m like, and then I’m walking more and all of a sudden, one day it’s I get chills and I just literally connect to, you can do this. This is math. And I’m like, okay, if you can empower a thousand people, you know a thousand of people like Tom. To empower a thousand to empower a thousand. Not the bottom rank, the top rum people that get a 100,000 people listening to their summit. Someone like Tom, and you can, you know, inspire him to say, wait a second, we can do this together. A thousand times a thousand’s a million, a million times of thousand’s a billion. And simple practices like gratitude, forgiveness, accountability, understanding these five daily practices of what, who, how, now, and applying our why, clearing the interference. The more that I’m out there doing books and shows and all that, but not just for the masses, but for people like Tom so that he could put it into his words, and he could be inspired to do a summit about energy and gratitude, and the higher vibrating truths. Together, the Toms of the world, the Tonys of the world, the Eds of the world, the Toms of the world, we all can get together, and create a collective consciousness of happiness, over a billion people, elevating what? The vibration and frequency of the entire earth. And so that all of us can live this abundant life, where we all make a lot of money. We all help a lot of people, and we all have a lot of fun.

Tom McCarthy

I love that. And as you raise, like you said, as each person that you raise their level of happiness, now they’re going out into their sphere, with a more powerful energy. And people feel that. You know, when someone like you walk into a room, people feel your energy because you’ve got gratitude, you’ve got happiness. Someone else walks into a room that might not have that, you feel their energy too, it’s like sucking from you. The more people that you create that are gonna have this incredible energy, just like you have, oh boy, I love that. Yeah. Happy to be part of that mission. So that’s incredible. Dave, I know you have so many things that you can offer people, but can you give us just a place to find you, and maybe some things that people could take advantage of that you have to offer?

David Meltzer

What a great opportunity it was to share with everyone. Remember gratitude’s the common denominator, no matter, it actually gratitude provides dopamine oxytocin, serotonin endorphins. It clears away the cortisol. It actually will keep you healthy. And it’s also very viral by the way, being grateful and happy is viral. You can give it, receive it, or witness it, it’s gonna make you happy as well. Tom, thank you so much for having me here.
