Why Giving Everything Away Will Make You Rich | David Meltzer on Impact Theory
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Entrepreneur David Meltzer had to lose millions and strain relationships to realize his definition of success wasn’t making him happy or the man he wanted to be. To put things back in perspective he made the shift from an ego-driven mentality, to a life of service that’s connected to his Sports 1 marketing firm and his role with the Unstoppable Foundation. The author of Connected to Goodness shares why giving is worth much more than receiving on this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu.

The passion Dave has when he talks about his Mom hits my soul! Excited to chat with him on the podcast! A truly authentic soul you are David 😄
😮
Going broke then building his way back. What a boss
Dave Meltzer is my new spirit animal
Same!😂
Giving is an act of generosity and love.
Giving is sowing a seed.
The seed will produce a great harvest.
every single time!😉
100% Agreed. Thank you. 🙏😊
But just don't forget to take as well, because it's just as much important! If you just continue to give yourself away, you will end up broke and empty-handed. So never be afraid to ask for help and take what you want. Because just like you love to give to others, most others will probably love to give to you as well - even though it often might not feel like it. If you really want results, play on people's self-interest, not their mercy or gratitude. Give them exactly what they want, and then they'll give you exactly what you want. So basically get in where you fit in.
giving is a necessity
"I would rather people hate me for who i am; than love me for who I am not."
So, very powerful!
To be authentic, is the only way to give and get love. And above all, to be happy and fulfilled.

People that come from literally nothing and make it, often feel an urgent need to give back to the less fortunate because they’ve been through that, ive been through that, i was poor to the point rainwater was pourinh through the sealing on my bed at 2 am.. hungry and no future ahead. But life continues and you eventually, with the right attitude and mindset you overcome that and grow out of it. You give it your all!!!!!!!!!!
if we can look up we can get up
so true, glad to see your future is looking brighter for ya!
thank you! anyone can do it, its just the mindset that stops us so often. anything can happen if you try!
@@DavidMeltzer Les Brown! Love it
people from a background with challenges but an experience of support and love understand what matters
How is this a free content. Thank you sooo much for doing this man 🙏
Tom is one of the greatest interviewers.
David Meltzer’s perspective on ego impacted me so much with how he said he processes those emotions asking himself why does he feel that way and slowing going through them! I also love what he said about finding your center and realizing it really is again your ego. Lastly his thought process on asking and expecting to receive was so powerful. How many of us really ask or believe that we will receive? It takes time, but it really is all a belief. It’s that vibrant energy you’re able to flow through the world with when you see unlimited possibilities and he really embodies that mindset as does Tom.
Your comment makes my day! Thanks so much. Don't hesitate to reach out if I can be of service
Jonathan Torres yes the ego is so detrimental to us if we dont understand how it works n WHY
Seenery 5 agreed!
The amount of gems that were dropped through this interview is overwhelming. Thank you David & Tom
thank you!
"Luck is when preparation meets opportunity," said Lucius Annaeus Seneca
It means that it doesn't matter how many opportunities come flying in your way unless you're ready to take advantage of them
I agree and believe awareness if the greatest gift.everything already exists, it's just our job to access it
Love that!
yaass, thats exactly what his guest maybe a week or two ago alex banayan said. luck is like a bus, you just have to be ready to get on it when it comes your way!
"The harder I work, the luckier I get."
Well yes and no. Preparation also means practice. The more you practice the more prepared you are when opportunities arise.
I love this continuing wave of open, successful people exposing their failures and shortcomings. It's the key to discovering the blueprint of true, lasting, happiness-inducing success. Tom, great interview. I can see you really pressing on points to make them practical and concrete so that they're not left open or vague.
Thank you Tom for always providing valuable free content, your show has helped me come a long way in my life and business.
this was SOOO good, didn't want the interview to end! Need to play it a few more times.. too much good stuff packed in there!
This guy is my spirit animal...i had been zeroing myself all the time with weight loss. I'd be eating right then I'd go and eat something I shouldn't and I'll be like "Oh well, that's it. I'll start again next Monday". I did that over and over and over...until last month I said no more. I started again, ate m&m's and Cadbury whispers and I said "I'm not starting again, I just won't eat them tomorrow". You just gotta power through....GREAT INTERVIEW AS ALWAYS
minimum amount of time everyday! Don't punish yourself just be consistent!
David Meltzer yeah I've found that consistency is key! Thanks David!!
Aww I love this guy. He’s such a sweetheart.
It's incredible how the simple things in life can make such a happy life but with all that the universe wants us to have
He is! I had a call with him the other day. He's so sweet!
I totally understand the poor man mentality that wants to hang on. I want to stay humble while not being hindered by it like this man. Sweet, humble, & a new inspiration to me. 😊
please let me know how I can help
I love how Tom never fails to ask the right questions. Questions that truly matter.
David Meltzer is a person I have met 4 times with a fifth time coming up this week in NYC! His mission statement is Make a lot of money, help a lot of people, and have a lot of fun!
Watching this almost 2 years later and he is speaking facts ! Preach
thank you!
My favorite interview of all time. I will watch it again and again. This was completely inspiring and life changing.
thank you so much.. how can I be of service?
@@DavidMeltzer how can you be of service? sign a non-exclusive real estate contract with me so I can find you or your companies commercial real estate or commercial real estate space. Let's trade service for service and make the world a better place.

@@DavidMeltzer you are awesome man I hope all is well with you.
Toms intros never fail to impress the guests, however famous they are. Toms level of intellect and his ability to articulate his message is legendary.
This is the best show - Impact Theory. Take my hat of for Tom. Whether they branding or selling. They dont even need it. This show care about the real things and real people. This show will change the world and peoples way of life. lots of applause
17 minutes in and so many gems dropped. This was a really great interview
Thank you Tom for introducing us to David. To say I was touched and deeply moved would be an understatement. I can relate so much to his emotion talking about his Mom. So many great points and advice. I've watched this twice and need to go over it a few more times.
"I had lost gratitude and perspective"
"Ask yourself What did I do to attract it to my life and what am I supposed to learn from it"
"Lived in a world that I wasn't good enough"
"Ask. Ask the universe"
Thank you so much David.
So glad he resonated with you!
I am happy to hear it was of value to you, please reach out anytime if I can be of service
David Meltzer thank you that is truly kind. Creating content that bring so much value and inspiration is in itself the most beautiful and impactful thing you can do. I will be following your work and if there is anything I can do for you it would be my pleasure. I can serve you through my talents in the creative / communication & design fields. This is my way of giving back 💕
I found this interview extremely powerful and empowering. There is so much about his journey and his code that I identify with. The most powerful moment for me was when he started to cry reflecting on his biggest failure. I hadn't been giving myself permission to face my failures, (because I don't know a productive way of doing it), many of which I have experienced this year. But I know that I can't grow without processing that aspect of life and I need to grow. So I decided to confess to a friend and ask for help and I got emotional and started to cry. It was extremely uncomfortable. That was this morning before I clicked on this video. Talk about serendipity! I am exceedingly grateful for this interview at this time. Thanks for the content that you put out.
EGO is our biggest barrier to success in our life
Lucky Zulu David always says ego is the need to be right and the need to be offended.
I also recall Wayne Dyer's perspective of EGO = "edging god out"
David's opening statement is MIND BLOWING! Unlike anything I've ever heard, yet it resonates on a whole 'nother level!
Mr. David, You are truly amazing. Very inspiring interview. It needs a lot of courage and positive frame of mind to rebuild from bottom once again 🙏🙏🙏.
This is definitely one of the best interviews i've watched on this show Tom. Thank you for bringing in David. And David if you are reading this, i love who your new paradigm of thought turned you into today and the authenticity that you embody is definitely something I choose to follow today, Thank you for sharing with such transparency and please keep paving the way. Thank you.
I appreciate your kind words - look forward to learning how I can be of service to you
Man , this man is soo authentic. Living to the point of tears.
What a man! His heart so clearly shines brightly through everything he says. I was meant to watch this today! So so grateful 😌
Commenting before watching because I already know the masterpiece of an interview I'm going to get but not only that, I know Tom is a master of preparation and is going to bring THE BEST out of whoever he brings on the show. Two great human beings! Love It if you found #VALUE #IMPACT
look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Any Mother could be proud of a guy like this. He had a great Mother that loved him.
I cannot wait to dig into his world. Overwhelmed by the authenticity, and giving spirit. Tom, so much love for what you do.
Please do let me know how I can be of service
I need to rewatch this and take some notes, but i know i definitely want to delve deeper into catching my ego in the act. Do you have a specific video on that topic?
Specifically the Cancel Clear Connect
I love these interviews. Such a fantastic show, Tom. Thank you for adding immense value to my life and the lives of thousands (or millions?) of others.
I’m on 17:39 minute mark but I cant help but to comment on how profound and inspiring his message was already. Thanks to you both!
Tom, I can't say thank you enough for how much your videos are changing my life. Introducing us to David Metzner is just the latest and greatest. Your 46 second teaser on Tilman Fertitta made me seek out more on him (Tilman). Which is how I found out about David Metzner and his playbook on Tilman. Then found out David originally grew up in the area code I grew up and live in. Mind blown!!
Only to circle back today to find out you have an impact theory on David Metzner!! The universe is doing weird and wonderful circles right now. Thank you both so much, for opening my eyes to the matrix.
-J-
" enjoy the pursuit of your potential" just one of the realest take away from this awesome interview.
Tom, my morning ritual for the past 2 1/2 years has been a video with my coffee, listening to different topics and channels, including yours when a video came up as the next in line. I realized for the past year or more I listen to your channel almost exclusively and you are the reason why. Your guests are interesting and offer a lot of valuable information but most can be found on other channels so it's not only the guests but it's your ability to connect with each one while connecting to your audience at the same time. You are able to show you have knowledge on the topic, you know your guest yet you approach each interview from perspective as a seeker of knowledge. Your enthusiasm and passion is sincere and the combination of having knowledge yet you are a seeker of it, along with everything else you add sets you apart from so many other channels. I suppose if I could wrap it up in a sentence, your interviewing style gives us (or me at least) the feeling that I am part of a relaxed, intimate exchange.
Your talent if our gift.
I loved his insights into the ego and trusting the universe. Such an interesting guy who wants to share his wisdom, his authenticity is inspiring. Thanks Tom for bringing him to the show, such high value content! ✌🏻😁
appreciate your kind words Jason - please let me know how I can be of service
David Meltzer just keep helping others, spreading your light✌🏻 you've already given me a lot by sharing your story 😊 I feel it is my purpose to help others become their authentic self and that is what I'll do, but I must firstly, do that myself.
Kindness wins, always ✌🏻 take care man ❤️
Also, I respect you for coming into the comments and taking that time to reply to everyone 🤗 I admire how raw and real you are. This is an episode I'll be coming back to when I feel myself slipping 😊 thank you!
My pleasure, reach out anytime I can be of service
Fantastic interview. I took notes again! I love when you have guests I don’t know and they blow me away, like Dave did! I loved this! Thanks @TomBilyeu and IT team!!
nice to meet you!
David Meltzer OMG dude, you are awesome! Thanks for doing this interview. I needed to see it! You’re great! ❤️
This guy is a breath of fresh air 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🌅
Very happy to hear what he said about OCD. What a great guy.
I love David his book change my life, and this podcast brought a smile to my face❤️
Tom,billions of thanks to bring David for your show.I cant get enough of this.Inspiring content.Thanks man.
My name is Lamborghini Art, well, I use to be. So far my life is a rags to riches back to rags. Now I am at beginning my journey back to riches again but with a much better prospective on life. So much of what Mr Meltzer said rang a bell within me, especially about becoming demanding , arrogant, etc when I first became rich. Restarting at bottom gives one a new perspective
You hear this thing over and over again from multiple successful people and still we question this: ego kills everything around you starting with your dreams. We need more interviews like this.
OMG Tom, the first 7minutes describes my older brother to the teeth. He was so successful and lost all if it within the past year and burn so many Bridges with lots of people and my other 8 siblings and almost sold our moms home without our permission. He lost his marriage of 8 years and respect and everything. I'm the only one that can see pass his transgressions and been telling him to do an inventory of his values. My brother a replica of your gust today complaining and blaming others and not taking responsibility. I just sent him this video and I hop he sees his way from different prespective. Thank you.
What an outstanding human being! Truly the world of giving is so so powerful! But it's even more powerful when you can give unconditionally!!!
35:55 "Double the amount of money you make as fast as you can" This part really struck out for me, because in my past I would create so much pain and resistance whenever I would make a Goal with a timeline.
Say make X amount of money by X amount of time. And I would stress my self out so much, whenever I would get close to my date of achieving my goal and I was no where near where I wanted to be and it would discourage me.
This really opened up my eyes and allowed me to enjoy the journey as well.
love it! let me know how I can help
THANK YOU FOR GIVING BACK TOM, WE KNOW YOU DO NOT HAVE TO... BUT YOU DO.... I Pray you are fullfilled!
Yeah...been waiting for this one to drop. Love these interviews.
Completely unbelievable amazing interview. Well done Tom & David!
Love #davidmeltzer's approach to helping others through his business and platforms and maintaining faith when things don't turn out as expected.
Pivotal Moment for me listening to David for the first time🙏🏽
Is it just me.. or do others also notice urself saying, "Dang! This is one of my favorite ImpactTheory episodes!!!" Again!!! 😉 "consistency makes people successful.. most people lie to themselves & zero out"😮 "Don't miss out on the exponential power of the Universe." 🙄 "Do it now."
This was AWESOME! Know your values, negotiate based on knowing what other people want and enjoy getting your failures out of the way on your way to success!!!!!! 👍
What a beautiful soul.
Yes we need more people in the world like him!
What a lovely guy. Bless you David
Worth watching 5-10 times. Every year.
Love that!
Thanks for taking on my feedback. Your interviews are of high caliber.
means so much - please let me know how I can be of service
Thanks David. Your words "be interested rather than interesting." will forever be my mantra.
Tom, I didn't know how good you were at asking questions. You have seriously honed that skill! It is a blessing to me and many others!
This one is one of my favs! David Meltzer seems incredibly authentic.
P.S. I've been meaning to suggest turning down the volume of the audience at the beginning (to match that of the rest of the video) because most times when I watch these I have a max volume as to not disturb those around me but when the crowd applauds I have to nearly silence the volume (similar problem for my ears when wearing headphones).
thank you so much! Don't hesitate to reach out if I can be of service
Hi David, I have become aware of you today because of Tom's show. Your analysis of ego is an inspiring and personal view of it and of you as it's creator back then. Some of the things you used to say when in the ego state, I have heard from my own family.
Thankyou for the phrase, "Enjoy the pursuit of your potential". I know I have potential but feel clouded at being able to identify it, to be able to persue it. I am great at garment design/making; singing; tidying up things. I have a husband and 2 adult children and my 'career' has been a stay-at-home-mum. and I am also, a bit older than you. Is there anything you could suggest to me please. Best wishes, Suzie.
Dude. Thanks for sharing so openly. This pierces my soul.
This wasn't about the money, it was about the man for me.
Thank you!!!
Wow! Such a genuine interview and very humble man! Touched my heart and resonated to the core.
Gratitude/ empathy/accountability/effective communication what inspires me
Hi Tom, This epoisode is tooo good. David speaks about vibration and asking the universe and working hard towards our goal. I needed to listen to this. This episode has just lined up at the right time for me. I cannot tell you what a avalanche of nuggets this episode is.
Thank you David.........and TOM
I'm so happy to hear that, please reach our anytime if I can be of service
Thank you David, I am very happy to receive your reply. I would love to reach out to you. Will do so later today. Thank you !!!!! Simrita.
You can ask but you gotta take action, big action.
Taking action allows for the asking because you’re delivering before receiving.
I agree with you Tom, there's a gap in the planning phase. It's a struggle to identify the skills you're missing. I think the answer might be to 'swing the bat'. Ask questions, think about it, sit with it, mull it over until you get spiritual guidance. Try different angles and approaches, or try something related until something sticks. Or even more drastic, do the opposite of what hasn't worked until now, like Garrain Jones, to get your brain on a different wavelength. That's my theory anyway, I'm testing it out. :)
I'm going to watch this one many many times... how can I repay you Tom? Should I buy the entire impact theory store? Nah.... won't be even touching it... do not stop my friend, you are too important to so much people.
Thank you for always having relevant people on your show, and for extracting their knowledge and then quantifying it and making it actionable :-)
Haven't even finished this video yet but I already I have tons of respect in admiration
grateful for your kind words
I watch one or two of your videos with my Mom every day and they have helped us unimaginably. Thank you.
Love this Energy on your Interview's, just crazy. Thanks Tom !!
thank you
This guy has a lot of Courage.he is talking about stuff that really very few ever have. In regards to his siblings
Really moving conversation, I truly believe that this guy has a great soul and he went through a lot. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Wow... just wow! What a beautiful being! Thank you for your vulnerability 🙏
I love these interviews and hearing the wisdom poured out from so many successful people--we can learn so much by sitting and absorbing and then DOING! I loved THINK-SAY-DO! We must think positively and talk positively but then we must DO in order to manifest anything! I also loved when David said, "Enjoy the pursuit of your potential!" POWERFUL. Thank you Tom for all you are doing.
imagination + action! Thank you so much, let me know how I can be of service
Powertalk Tom. One of your best interviews. David Meltzer, thank you for your insights
I appreciate you!
You just made my day with this one!!! Had a wonderful phone call with David a week ago after reaching out to him via Instagram!!! HE IS A JEWEL!!! HE'S MY VITAMIN B12!! THANK YOU FOR THIS ONE!
I appreciate you!
I appreciate you!
David Meltzer you are the man! Straight up no BS kinda guy! Would love to chat and pick your brain. You seem like a wealth of knowledge from hard earned experience, Pat
Some people have so much opportunity being offered to them that they have people making sure they cannot be ready. Get these people out of your life and focus on healing and moving forward because being ready when opportunity comes is one of the most important aspects of it. Stay strong. 💚🍀
This was an amazing broadcast. The lessons David had to share you can take to the bank. We sometimes think everything revolves around money. Don't get me wrong you need money to do and create the things you want to help others. The big point I took from this is we don't have to chase money. There is enough. There is no shortage of anything. Whatever you want to create the universe will help you do that. With that comes gratitude. We must be grateful for the good, bad, and ugly, that life throws our way for there are lessons in all of it.
Esther Easter Read the Ultimate Secret To Getting Everything You Want by Mike Hernacki and the Power of Broke by Daymond John. Both awesome books that explain the principles behind success, entrepreneurship, and happiness. The money is a result of our willingness to commit to doing everything possible to accomplish and serve.
I love it -- there is enough of more than everything for everyone!
Thanks, taoist40 for the comment. I've read the books they continue to help me on this journey.
yes i have read both books and i can agree with Taoist40. def worth reading and will change your outlook on life
knowing your parents will not be here one day is a great way to tune in to love and also practice patience with their humanity. Ask anyone who has lost one or both.
Amen
