It all started when he got fired. David has amassed over 2.5
million followers combined through his social media channels where
he offers career tips, resources, and job search help. While
experimenting with a bunch of different ideas, David decided to
make a TikTok account to share his perspective on navigating
careers and what worked for him to land jobs. Turns out, that it
worked for others too.
In this episode of Building While Flying, David joins Joe Quattrone
to talk about his journey from insurance to career advisor. Driven
by the passion to make education accessible to everyone, he’s built
a business out of execution instead of monetization, never
accepting money for his advice. David shares why he gets down in
the dirt with DMs and urges us all to pursue what you believe
fundamentally needs to exist.
