There’s a pretty weird statistic out there that my guest this week brought to my attention.

In a recent Gallup Poll, 86% - so more than 3/4th’s - of folks reported being disengaged from the task they call their “career”. That’s why when he started introducing himself, my guest decided to start asking people, “what do you love doing?” instead of “what do you do?”

It’s the deeper questions like this which served David Mykel during his time as a litigation consultant, then a non-profit leader…then the head of his own consulting firm…and ultimately as the founder of his own coaching organization, PSYFI - short for Psychological Fitness.

His journey has been anything but smooth, which is exactly why it’s extraordinary.

From being at the top of his field to walking away from it all, David has taken his skills of psychology and his passion for fitness and turned them into an organization that has helped over 4,000 high-performing individuals with a 98% advocacy-rate.

We discuss everything from the need for empathy and the ways in which we can all add 1% to our day, to how breathing can reset our brain and why we all were built to move.

Enjoy the show.
