Tom McCarthy
I am so excited about our next guest. He’s really become a good friend of mine over the past couple of years and I really just love what he’s about. He had this background where he was super successful in sports. He led one of the biggest sports agencies, the one that Jerry Maguire was modeled after. He was the CEO of that company. He started a company called Sports One Marketing and he also has done so many other things like that was his background but now he’s gone into so many different things. He’s got podcast, two minute drill, he’s got something called office hours on apple tv. You can watch them, he has an amazing instagram where he just like loads content every day, like not just one thing like I do like you know 2345 things and he’s just giving, giving, giving one of his missions. One of his big purposes in life is to make a billion people happier and that’s all of you. So today we’re gonna work on that too. So I am just thrilled to have him, I think you’re gonna love his work, he’s such a giver and and also though he’s a human being that really has accomplished so much so Dave, it’s awesome to have you on. Thanks for being with us today.
David Meltzer
Well thanks for having me any opportunity I can to share time with you is well spent and your community as well and what you’ve built with the global energy summit and the people that you’ve brought in, pouring them in empowering them to empower others to be happy knowing that happiness itself is a frequency is an energy, just, it made it a mandatory show up when it came to an invitation from Tom McCarthy to be here, so thank you for having me,
Tom McCarthy
You bet. You’re gonna help so many people and the reason I have Dave on, Dave Meltzer, my friend on is you know, I gave you all this background, but also he is an energy master, he is he really has poured himself into understanding how energy permeates through everything we do, energy is everything and he’s just a prime example of how you can use energy to have health to have happiness to have prosperity and he’s gonna share with you some of his formulas today, so Dave I know that, you know, we were talking earlier like you know you had the, you know the sports agency background, there’s not a lot of people talking about energy probably in that world and and I’m, you know, it was in the corporate world and doing trainings for big companies, how did you get come? Because I had my own journey where I eventually got, you know comfortable talking about this stuff that people might think is weird, but how did you get to that point?
David Meltzer
Well first I had to be accepting of it because I was probably one of the guys that was making fun of you in the corporate world, I was ceo of Samsung’s phone division and so I spent time in Asia in my late twenties and early thirties and obviously with the eastern philosophies, there’s a lot of things that I’d come home and tell my wife wow, because my wife’s extreme spiritual by the way, she always understood energy and gets it. So I would say oh my God, these people are so woo woo, you know, they have no idea how to make money. And my wife would say you know money’s energy Dave, you should really start learning about this. Well I was completely resistant. I had actually created a development house in India in Calcutta India. So I was flying back and forth to India as I was running Leigh Steinberg sports and entertainment and I sat next to this fabulous lady and little doctor and she was you know, looking at me kind of awkwardly and I said can I help you? And she said no but I can help you.
I said really? She said you’re so full of light but you’re blocking it. And I rolled my eyes, I remember rolling my eyes like this is gonna be the longest flight to India of my life and I was like oh so I’m blocking it, I’m like well what do you mean? She goes are you okay? And in my mind at that time and you’ll get this because you dealt with corporate leaders in the past and you know how closed minded they are when it comes to anything but scarcity and revenue. And you know, for me, I’m looking at her, I’m like, do you know who I am? Like I literally in my head, I’m like, you ever see the movie Jerry Maguire, you know, that’s my firm. You know, I’m successful, you got to know who I am and meanwhile, you know, I didn’t say anything and I said, well I’m kind of confused. What do you mean? She said, well, she goes, do you meditate Now. My wife had always suggested I meditated. I couldn’t even sit still let a little meditate.
So I gave her my one minute diatribe of meditate. People who meditate are broke, sick, usually high on their mom’s couch doing nothing. I don’t have time to meditate. I was born with nothing. Single moms, six kids. I’m a multimillionaire, running the most successful sports agency in the world. You expect me to take the time every day to sit around and do nothing. And she looked at me and she said, well that’s too bad. I said, why is that? She said, because I could teach you to vibrate faster. Almost fell over. I’m like, what did you say? She said, I could teach you to vibrate faster. I said, and that’s going to help me how and she said because you can only be aware of that, which vibrates equal to or less than you and others can only be aware of that. Which vibrates equal to and less than them and everything vibrates. David the earth vibrates the slowest then plants, animals, humans, then sound, then light and then thought. And then she changed my whole paradigm of my life and she said do you know what vibrates the fastest? And I said no, she said the truth said the truth vibrates and the hair stood up on my arms and she said, I can teach you to raise your awareness of the truth. And I would love I can see your potential, your truth, you have so much light, I’d love you to come to a workshop. I’d love to teach you quantum healing data, meditation and teach you how to meditate and to understand how awareness truly works. And I looked at her and I said not a chance, I don’t have time. And she looked at me like are you kidding me? I was like I don’t I go I love my life, I love my wife, I love my my existence. What do I need to learn how to heal or meditate? I think I got this figured out. And then she hit me where talking about meet people where they’re at and I think that’s important when we’re teaching people to meditate because she met me where I was at and she said, well that’s too bad because I could teach you when to buy and when to sell through awareness and all of a sudden.
Tom McCarthy
Speaking your language now.
David Meltzer
Exactly. But she’s so smart and that’s why I’ve really hung on to over 16 years of being a quantum healer of tracing calligraphy fees with one of your other speakers, the gong master doctor and master shaw. But I have learned in meditation by the way, you’ll love this. My first step in meditation was just to sit still. So she lowered the bar for me. She said just I want you to practice sitting still for five minutes. Then it became, I just want you to be quiet now that you can sit still. I just want you to be quiet.
Tom McCarthy
The hardest things for you probably right because you’re a bunch of energy, right? You’re and you’re always out.
David Meltzer
That was the light she saw in me though, right? That I was wasting all that energy. So then she taught me to utilize the energy as awareness and now I’ve utilized it as transcendence, which I’m sure will lead to many more questions and enlightening things that we could talk about.
Tom McCarthy
Yeah. And so you now meditate every single day. Right? First thing in the morning by tell us about your morning routine and why you do it. Like what are you trying to accomplish every morning when you do your meditation.
David Meltzer
So it’s so interesting because I have a theory, you know, so many people are worried about what time they open their eyes and what they should be concerned about is if they go to sleep, can they keep their eyes open. And so my whole morning routine is based off of an unwinding routine at night that puts me in a position of recovery and access so that I can transcend the recovery and the access to the information without a void of my ego when I unwind at night. So I’m very conscious about no caffeine, no negative energies, no bad content, no negative conversations unless it’s an emergency. So you know, I know I have three daughters, you have a daughter, no drama at night unless it’s an emergency. I know there’s boyfriend issues but I don’t want to talk about them until the next day. I don’t want to interfere with my access and my recovery. So I wake up, I backtracked my time at four am And I meditate for 20 minutes to transcend the information that I received from the download of putting myself in a position of recovery. And then I know Tate the baseline of what I call my higher self. So many people today compare themselves especially on social media with either the best of everything or the untrue of everything. And it creates this separation anxiety. I compare myself to a baseline of yesterday myself and I do that through meditation and then I go ahead after I’ve transcended the information. Take note of my higher self, I baseline that so I call that my highest point. So my only indicator for the day is as I move through the activity, I get paid for the activity. I don’t in my above the baseline. If I drop below that baseline, I stop. I don’t resist it, argue with it. Logic. It I don’t fight it, flee it. I don’t go over it under it through it around or deny it. I simply stop, put myself back to ease and then roll back into what I want, who I can help and how to get that done.
Tom McCarthy
I love that you said you said you used the word access. Talk about that that might have slipped by some people. But you put yourself in the right recovery mode where now you can have access, what are you accessing?
David Meltzer
And that’s the paradigm shift. I’m accessing the omniscient, all powerful, all knowing source of energy. And so what happens is we interfere with it. So many people are trying to get more happy, healthy, more wealthy, more worthy. And I am in fact the word Adonai in the old testament. I study all different religious spiritual and philosophical texts. The word Adonai means I am that. And so I am that and therefore what am I doing to interfere with that. So I am that which is healthy, worthy, wealthy. Amish in all powerful because this here is to me a definition of faith that doesn’t have to be religious. I’m myself religious. but I don’t expect anyone to be religious or philosophical or spiritual. It’s just simply to me a pragmatic understanding that there’s something bigger than me that loves me more than my mom. And I want to access that information. Here’s an analogy Tom that I used in my life when you were young, probably like me, curious. I went to reach out and touch a hot stove at three years old. It looked really good and my mom who never hit anyone. In fact, my wife always says, my biggest problem is my mom never hit me. I reached out to touch the stove.
My mom slapped the back of my hand and screamed at me No, I cried immediately. I said Mom, why are you punishing me? What did I do? Why would you, why would you yell and hit me? She grabbed me emilie and hugged me and said baby, I’m protecting you. I’m promoting you just don’t know what that stove is gonna be. This analogy is so important because I think people live their life and don’t understand that they are part and partial. They live a shared identity, not an individual identity, A shared identity that you can achieve this higher self with all this energy power. And when you’re being punished, quote unquote, which I don’t believe in. When you receive pain. When life slaps you on the back of the hand or yells at you because you have the wrong partner or the deal didn’t go through or the house didn’t close or you lost your job or you and I have experienced in the corporate world so many scenarios where people don’t realize, but we do because we’ve been through this scenario so many times, they’re being protected and promoted to something better. And this idea of access lets me be aware of what’s better for me, a better place, a better situation or a better person.
Tom McCarthy
I love it. Hey, you talk about, you know, you talk about access, we talk about the natural state, the natural flow is prosperity, it’s health, it’s all these great things you talk about believing in and something greater than us that loves us, you know, 1000 times or a billion times more than our mom. I was talking with another energy healer recently and I had asked him to take a look at, someone had written me and one of their Children, young 14 year old girl was having, she was actually in the hospital, she had an eating disorder and their families gone through a lot of hardships. And so anyways, I just asked him, I said, Hey, can you check in on this person? And one of the things he said was that she has no love in her body. And I think a lot of people are walking around without because you, you feel it, you feel this, this love from something other than, you know, another human being, you feel this omnipresent love. How do people feel that though? Because I think that’s I think probably most people that have illnesses or are struggling if they really ask themselves, do I feel love? Do I feel love in my body and my heart and my soul? I don’t think they do. How do how do they get that? You know? Because I think that’s one of the biggest things even to become happy. Like if you don’t feel that you’re not gonna be happy, you can do every little strategy but if you don’t feel that I don’t think you’ll be happy. How do people get that? How do they get that feeling back that they probably had at one point in time but don’t have right now.
David Meltzer
So they have to have daily practices in the trajectory of that love. And let me explain what I mean pragmatically to make it really simple. If we understand that’s what we want to be happy then what we need to do is start by doing things that make us happy, saying things aligned with that trajectory, thinking things aligned with that trajectory, believing things aligned with that trajectory. And then we will feel you see if you pay attention to what makes you happy and give it your intention, what you do say? Think believe and feel the coincidence. The coinciding of love will happen. It’s a mathematical equation of luck, coincidence and what’s so interesting about it is time, which is something I study every day, time is the only dependent variable of all subjective matter. It’s the only quantitative variable. Let me explain.
And this is why I help people is that we lower the bar when we’re trying to create this remembrance recollection, this reminder of happiness of something they may have felt in the past and in order to do so we can look and see. How much time do you spend outside of doing saying thinking, believing and feeling happy and now we have a quantitative way of analyzing. Hey, I used to spend days, weeks, months and years outside. Now I’m spending minutes and moments or yesterday I spent three hours worrying three hours in anxiety and fear and anger and frustration. Tomorrow I’m going to spend two hours and 59 minutes and knowing that I’m only 100 and 80 days from spending no time at all in anxiety from this. If I only try to spend one less minute and put myself at ease faster. And so I’ve created a mechanism as well to help people do that. But the attention plus intention to that feeling is essential by meeting people and lowering the bar utilizing time as the quantifiable measure.
Tom McCarthy
Yeah. So you, you thank you. Dave So you came to meditation, you said I think 16 years ago you’ve been doing it ever since. You’re very disciplined person. I know you’re, you’re very, make sure every single day you get it done to sell people on this. Like what does it feel like when you really become a great meditator? Because a lot of people in the beginning its work and it was work for you. I know it’s worked for me, but just tell us the best you can describe it like what does it feel like? You know, because I know it’s really amazing, but what does it feel like? Because it becomes addictive after you really learn how to do it, right?
David Meltzer
Yeah. So anyone that’s played sports, which is hopefully the majority of the people have had an experience called being in the flow. It’s when you throw up junk on the basketball court and it goes in or you hit a putt on the green in your head, You’re like, oh, shoot and it rolls in or you’re at the baseball, you know, in the batter’s box, softball or baseball and the ball looks like it’s this big going 10 miles an hour. We’ve all been there. That’s what it feels like in proper meditation. You see this idea of what am I doing to interfere with the flow when we put our attention, not in, trying to go get there, but instead trying to identify what are we doing to interfere with this unbelievable pure ease. And I always say it’s not easy to be at ease because a lot of people think eases when you’re in the comfort zone not expanding, Growing accelerating in symbiosis with the universe, which is growing and accelerating at all time. So it’s if you put yourself in the mindset hey, like you said, it ain’t easy being at ease day we had some real trouble just sitting still at first, let alone trying to understand what the heck do they want me to do here? What am I supposed to see? What am I supposed to here?
Is God going to talk to me. I remember thinking all these things as the pragmatic, educated, intelligent human beings, academic, you know, corporate beings that we were. But instead when we think of things being in the flow and imagine living your whole life in the flow where things that you want to appear or better appear at the right place at the perfect time, The ball seems so big that anybody can hit it. That’s the best way that I can tell you. And guess what the guys were watching the playoffs right now for major league Baseball And you see the greats out there and we saw must grow for the Padres pitch last night and he was in the, he was in the zone, he was in the flow. You know, it took a lot of practice for that kid to get there. It took a lot of practice. So put yourself into a sports mindset and say, hey, I want to live my life in the flow at ease. But I know it’s gonna take a lot of practice to be there just the way it took Tiger Woods. Look, he said such ease when he swings his club. That didn’t happen when he was in the, you know, four years old starting, he was slicing balls the same as everybody else.
Tom McCarthy
Yeah, yeah, that’s awesome. And let’s talk about prosperity, you’re, you’re somebody who is totally at ease and open to that flow of prosperity. I don’t know if that was always the way, I know, I know you didn’t grow up in a family that had that, but, but you are, you know unapologetic about welcoming prosperity and, and you don’t look at it as a negative thing. Unfortunately a lot of people do right or they have beliefs and and their parents beliefs that they don’t even know that they have that are blocking prosperity. Talk to us about prosperity why you believe it. It’s something that we all should have more of and should have attention and focus on what talk to us about prosperity and then tell us how to do it too.
David Meltzer
Yeah. So the most important thing that I’ve learned about prosperity because I grew up in scarcity, not enough single moms, six kids, she actually packed my dinner paper bag filled up turnstiles with convenience stores with greeting cards just so her kids could eat and my siblings, like your Children all went to the ivy leagues, Harvard Penn Columbia and she wanted to empower them, but it was always scarcity and fear that was driving us. There wasn’t enough. And then I made over a million dollars nine months out of law school and I moved into a world of just enough. Now just enough is where most people live, even if they don’t have a lot and just enough is this world, I appreciate everything I have now when you appreciate what you have, it adds value to it and then they actually acknowledge what they have, acquiring the knowledge requires only one thing to not have it anymore. Now where people fall off in abundance or this idea of prosperity is that they believe, the only way to acknowledge what you have is to give it away, right? I don’t have anymore.
I now know what I used to have by giving it away and they believe like I did, the more you give, the more you receive, which is mathematically true, but it’s actually a scarce thought because it’s one of trade or negotiation that like me, I gave millions of dollars, but I expected something in return. I wasn’t living in prosperity, I wasn’t living in abundance. I wasn’t living in the faith that there’s more than enough of everything for everyone. So it’s not a matter of giving to receive, it’s actually the inverse that I’m going to receive. So I can give more. And so where I believe prosperity lives and monies and energy and prosperity doesn’t necessarily mean receiving a lot of money and giving a lot of money, There’s many ways to live prosperous lives, but it requires these three components. One appreciate what you have relationships, your health, your wealth, the money, energy and many other things that are important to you to acknowledgement. Acknowledgment acquire the knowledge of what you appreciate by not only giving it away and giving it to others, but let it be manipulated and stolen and cheated from you because we actually learn lessons and we still get acknowledgement because it’s not there anymore. And when we can learn to lose things, when we can learn to be manipulated and cheated and lied to. That’s okay because our vessel is still greater because we have appreciation acknowledgement. Now what I teach people, you talked about being confident and receiving, I teach people to receive good people with good intentions. I want them to be wealthy so they acknowledge more and that more people benefit from it. In fact one of the Acknowledgments of me is this empowering tool of daily practice is to be happy. I want everyone to give that away and what I do is I talk about learning how to ask in person on the phone via email, social media, traditional media, I still check tom my out box every day to see how many email have been asking it, hey, will you join me in my free friday training. Can you come to this? Can you help do you know anyone that can help me? Is there anything I can do for you? Whatever the ask is that triad creates the flow abundance live in the world and more than enough it takes pure faith to believe that your vessel will be filled and overflowed because there’s more than enough of everything for everyone.
Tom McCarthy
How does somebody right now? That’s really struggling And, and you know, you’ve struggled, I’ve struggled financially. We found ways to get beyond it. But people that are in the midst of it right now and also their financial struggles probably are impacting their stress levels and their health. So someone who’s really struggling right now, you know, they’re gonna look at you and go, yeah, well look at you, you’re already so successful but you’re not in my situation. What do you tell that person?
David Meltzer
Well, first of all I want to create an acknowledgment that I may not be in that situation. But the fastest way to get to where you want to be is find someone, someone that’s where you wanna be and ask them for help. So you and I both went bankrupt. I lost over $100 million. Would you like to know the directions to get to where I am from where you are because maybe I was in a worse position than you. Maybe I can teach you the fastest and easiest way to get to where you want to be because I’m there and I’ve been where you are. And so I always tell people the best piece of advice that I can give if you are struggling right now is to two things. One find someone that’s in the situation that you want to be in and ask them for directions. You will make their day. You will add value. Don’t have to live in a zero sum world where you have to give to receive. You actually add value to people like Tom and I when you ask us for help, you actually add value to our lives too. Help someone else.
It’s very, there’s only two ways to get what you want. Help someone get what they want or ask someone that has what you want or is where you want to be and ask them for directions on how to get it. And not only will they give you advice and instructions but they also offer the spheres of influence. The frequency. A new neighborhood that has more options. Op opportunities and touches a favor for you. You see your frequency, your energy is your neighborhood. And it’s not a matter of even attracting. I believe it’s a matter of allowance. And the analogy I use is I could be sitting in the projects where I was born in Akron Ohio on a lawn chair drinking a colt 45 have the best idea in the world, right? The best idea in the world and turned to my buddy next to me and go, hey man, can you help me start this business? I got this hula hoop idea is going to blow up and he as much as he wants to, he can only do so much for me. But if I live in the luxury home neighborhood looking over the ocean and I’m sitting on a bench in my neighborhood, I’m like, hey man, I got this great idea for a hula hoop. I’m gonna have to hold the guy off because he’s at my frequency, my energy. Like can I give you a million? Can I give you two? That’s a great idea right? This is the difference of your energy and don’t think of it in the physicality of what neighborhood you live in, understand that your energy, your frequency, your awareness is like living in the dream home section of a gated community in rancho santa fe and you can do that by doing the work by asking for help and also helping other people get what they want.
Tom McCarthy
I love that man, that is such great advice. I love the term neighborhood too. So we’re not talking about a physical neighborhood, but when you connect with somebody that already has what you want energetically. Now you’re moving into that, that same vibration, that same energy neighborhood, which is so cool and that’s all it takes, it can be, this is proof our relationship is proof of.
David Meltzer
We just, we’ve always said we were neighbors and we didn’t even know it, but our energies as we evolved, both of us are awareness and all of a sudden we coincided as friends and now that’s even as we get more synergistic with one another, our relationship is getting greater and greater and there’s more options, opportunities and touches a favor that we’re helping each other out with.
Tom McCarthy
Yeah, I love it. Dave. How can people, you have so many different options. How can people move into your neighborhood where they can start getting your wisdom, your energy, all these great things you offer. What are all the different ways they can connect with you?
David Meltzer
Well, I would love it. First of all, I do free Friday training for 23 years. And the best way to reach out to me is directly by email. [email protected] My first name David at my first initial D Meltzer is like shelter with an M. David.com, but I have podcast tv shows I have groups that I put together. I do meet up. So if you get on my list when I’m in San Diego, we all meet in person so we can help each other creating a community of sponsors and power sponsors, people who want to help each other and people who know people who can help each other. That’s my mission and you literally can google David Meltzer or email me directly all of these things are available. I even one of the few people, I’m blessed, I will send my book to anyone. I’ll sign it, I’ll pay for the book, I’ll pay for shipping. I know that the lessons and connected to goodness. One of my books will change your life and I’d like to in my mission empower people with that book. So email me, google me, come visit me, I live my life of service, my actual name. David Meltzer means beloved servant and I do my best to be a beloved servant and I’m blessed to be you here with you in this neighborhood. So thanks for inviting me.
Tom McCarthy
Yeah, no, that’s awesome. And listen, take him up on this offer. He’ll send you a book, he’s got all sorts of resources, amazing, amazing content. Always always getting, you know, new stuff out. So I love it. I know you’re gonna love it. Dave you do these meetups, not just in San Diego, you actually do them all over when you go out and you you you you’re with people I know there’s lots of questions, but what tends to be the biggest thing people are looking for when, when you go out there and you talk to people. I know there’s lots of them, but what’s what’s the, what’s the biggest thing people really want when they come and they see you.
David Meltzer
Don’t feel worthy in whatever context or shape form or size that it comes in. You’re a great executive coach as well and you advise huge companies and so many people, but I always joke around like how do you always have an answer, David? I said, well, the truth is I have one go to answer in case I don’t have an answer as an executive coach, it’s always, oh, so you don’t feel worthy. And then the guy, you know, the chairman of the oil company starts crying, he’s like, how did you know? You know? So yes, the common denominator is that no matter what level we are, we all doubt ourselves and whether we’re doing extremely well, we think we’re not worthy of what we have and if we’re struggling, we think it’s because we’re not worthy of what we want. It’s just not true. You are a shared identity with the omniscient, all powerful, all knowing source of energy, your energy in your pinky can light up Manhattan, take advantage of it, let’s figure out together what am I doing to interfere with my energy. So not only you can benefit from the abundant omniscient, all powerful, but you can share it with other people. One particle of light overcomes a million particles of darkness, I want more people to shine that light come join me, like I have, let your light shine, you’re hiding it, you’re blocking it is dr Sanjay, Jah sah, he told me 16 years ago, stop blocking it, stop interfering it, let it shine so beautiful.
Tom McCarthy
Dave, thank you so much and it’s important for people to know, you know, Dave has this amazing life, but every day he’s working on himself, like you don’t look at somebody like you just said, you know, people struggle worthiness, people struggle with confidence, they struggle, struggle with stress that I don’t care who it is, we are living this human experience, and every day you’ve got to work on you and Dave has so many great tools that will help you with that. Dave, thank you so much for being here, I love you, you’re an amazing friend, amazing human being and help so many people and you’re helping a lot through, through this vehicle to So, thank you, Dave,
David Meltzer
