David Meltzer is a best-selling author, business coach, and host of the top entrepreneur podcast, The Playbook. David started by talking about his journey into entrepreneuriship. He originally had his sights set on the NFL in college, but ended up attending the top maritime law school in the country and began working in the legal field as an oil and gas litigator.

David went on to work in the online legal industry, during the early days of the internet. This led to him becoming a multi-millionaire, and in his own words, David had “everything he ever dreamed of.” He was leading one of the world’s foremost sports agency when he lost everything. This shifted his journey and he founded his own sports marketing company.

Today, it’s David’s goal to empower people to simply be happier. As David says, he plants seeds for trees he will never sit under.

From there, we discussed raising capital in the real estate industry. David provided some tips for new investors on how to raise capital.
