David Simnick is the CEO & Co-Founder at Soapbox, and Managing Partner at Impact Driven Brands.

David once believed that he would get into politics. During middle and high school, he was constantly active in student government. Throughout, he continually offered his services as a volunteer for leadership roles.

His desire to pursue a career in politics changed after entering college. He knew he was suited to be an entrepreneur.

He was working as a subcontractor for the US Agency for International Development when David became aware of the need to improve water sanitation and hygiene. He started making soaps in his college kitchen, where he developed the idea to sell soaps made using more sustainable methods. This is how Soapbox got its start.

They started getting into regional supermarket chain businesses and received investments from friends and family.

Soapbox has been donating millions of bar soap to local communities in need. They were able to fund local soap makers through a wide variety of different Non-Governmental Organizations.

Previously, Soapbox was recognized on the Inc. 5000 with the highest rank of 1703 in 2022.

David has been able to reach new heights by acquiring Bushwick Kitchen and Good Nest while carrying on his 13-year commitment to serve individuals with sustainable personal care.

Routine | Time Is Not The Most Precious–Energy Is.

David recognizes the value of knowing oneself, maintaining good health, and producing things worthy of his time and effort. He always sees to it he takes time to write and organize his thoughts and makes sure he gets things done by following these routines:

1. Waking up early

2. Working out

3. Writing 5 big things to accomplish the day

4. Understanding his body

5. Conserving his energy

6. Surrounding himself with positive people

Success

David identifies success as having a win for the right reasons. It's reaping the rewards for all the time, energy, and blood you've put into it. One of his most notable achievements was Soapbox's ranking of 472 nationally and 7th fastest-growing private company in DC by Inc. 500 in 2017.
