Ep: 068 : Losing $100 Million: The Wake-Up Call That Changed Everything with David Meltzer

In this powerful episode of The Dad Nation Podcast, Mitchell sits down with world-renowned entrepreneur, speaker, and coach David Meltzer to talk about what it really means for high-performing men to “have it all” — success in business and a thriving family life.

David shares how he went from losing over $100 million to rebuilding his life, legacy, and faith. He shares the lessons that have taught him to be both a wildly successful entrepreneur and a deeply present husband and father.

In this episode, you'll learn:

✅ Why thinking in terms of “sacrifice” is the wrong frame for your family

✅ The Rule of Time and how small daily deposits compound in marriage, parenting, and leadership

✅ The story of losing everything — including his mom’s house — and how faith carried him through

✅ How to stop lying to yourself about “doing it for your family”

✅ The mindset shift of looking for a queen instead of a critic in your wife

If you’re a driven dad who refuses to choose between your career, calling, and kids, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
