Show Notes

David Thompson is James Dean cool.  I first met Dave about five years ago in Jamaica and within a few minutes, Dave is one of those types of people, you want to be friends with that guy. He exudes confidence. He is hilarious. He's got such a cool perspective on life. He's so much fun to be around and  his perspective and his personality is contagious.

And so we hit it off. We went scuba diving three times a week. Our families hung out. We've kept in touch ever since,  one of the really cool things about Dave is that he is just one good person from the core. Maybe a year later after we had met, I put a Facebook donation out and he was one of the few people that donated. He barely knew me outside of that one week in Jamaica, but he stepped up and that's just the  person he is. 

He's actually the  person that I would be willing to call if I had an issue, because I know he would say yes. And so he's such a great dude and a good father, a good husband. He's got his priorities in place.

He's been very successful in business. THe started his own company at a very young age, in his early twenties. It's successful construction company. And his wife owns a flower shop. They reside in New Jersey. They've got a couple young kids. 

Whatever Dave is doing.  If he's working hard, if he's playing hard, he's having fun. He's laughing. He's having a good time. He's joking around. And he even talks about that being the trademark of his personality and his life philosophy, even during COVID-19, which has been one of the most devastating impacts to small business owners in the United States.

Dave has kept a positive outlook and talked about how it's allowed him to reflect on priorities in life and spend time with his family. It just can't get a better person than that. And, he's just hilarious. The technique that he implemented with his daughter to teach her the people skills and customer service is next level of genius. I absolutely cannot wait for you to listen to that. 

So listen in, like, and share.
