David's story is one of extraordinary success, devastating loss, and profound transformation. Raised by a single mother with six children, he was driven by one simple goal: to become rich enough to buy his mom a house and a car. He went on to earn his first million dollars shortly after law school, helped build billion-dollar companies, became CEO of the legendary Leigh Steinberg Sports & Entertainment agency (the inspiration behind Jerry Maguire), and established himself as a leader in sports, technology, media, and entrepreneurship.

Then everything changed.

After losing more than $100 million and finding himself bankrupt, David was forced to reevaluate everything he thought he knew about success, happiness, faith, and purpose. That journey ultimately led him to a mission of empowering more than one billion people to be happy.

In our conversation, David shares why sports, business, and even social media are simply backdrops for something much bigger: learning to love what we don't like about what we love. We explore the power of gratitude, forgiveness, accountability, faith, and daily practices that create lasting success. David also explains why "too soon is a burden," why most people quit right before breakthrough, and how life experience is actually your greatest competitive advantage.

One of my favorite moments comes at the end when David shares three simple words that can change the trajectory of your life:

Ask for help.

Whether you're building a business, launching a creative career, reinventing yourself after 40, or simply trying to live with greater purpose, this episode is filled with wisdom that will help you shorten the distance between where you are and where you want to be.

In This Episode, We Explore: Why Jerry Maguire is actually a love story, not a sports movie Learning to love what you don't like about what you love The difference between money and happiness How David lost over $100 million—and what he learned from rebuilding Gratitude, forgiveness, and accountability as life-changing practices Why "too soon is a burden" The compounding effect of daily habits and consistency Why people over 40 may have a greater advantage than they realize Social media, personal branding, and building community The importance of faith and believing in something bigger than yourself Why asking for help is one of the most powerful skills you can develop How being of service creates abundance and fulfillment Connect with David Meltzer

Tim Duffy is a trauma-informed mindfulness expert and executive coach who specializes in high-stress, emotionally complex environments. He’s worked with Fortune 500 executives, Olympic athletes, Michelin-starred chefs, law enforcement leaders, network presidents, and frontline mental health providers. Certified through the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley and trained in trauma care through NICABM, Tim blends his background in behavioral psychology with over 10,000 hours of contemplative practice and real-world business success to create tools that are emotionally intelligent, practical, and scalable.

A two-time Emmy Award-winner and former Paramount network executive, Tim brings a rare ability to make well-being engaging, memorable, and deeply human. He helps caregivers and leaders not just reset—but rewire for joy. Tim has shaped stories across traditional TV, streaming, digital, and social, and now helps creatives and teams access presence, clarity, and flow. We dive into how authenticity wins in casting, why your first 3–5 seconds can make or break an audition, and how mindfulness transforms performance, collaboration, and leadership.

Tim takes us behind the scenes of his career—from early days at Game Show Network to launching the West Coast division at Spike TV (now Paramount Network)—sharing what buyers listen for, how he evaluates truth in a read, and when improvisation helps (and when it absolutely doesn’t). You’ll hear a hilarious and humbling story about giving notes to a powerhouse producer, plus what it took to shape narration with Emeril Lagasse in post—proof that even on-camera legends benefit from expert VO direction.

We also get practical about mindfulness for creatives: moving from “zombie mode” (lost in thought) to the mindful witness; practicing compassionate accountability; and using an attitude of allowing to free your voice, make wiser choices, and sustain your creative momentum. If you’re a working pro or just getting started, Tim’s blend of industry know-how and inner skills will help you show up real, connected, and ready.

In this episode, we explore:

  • The casting buyer’s ear: how to spark a “huh, interesting” in seconds
  • Slate or no slate? Using dynamic contrast to signal humanity fast
  • Smart improv: when a “freestyle” take helps, and when it hurts
  • Directing narration: shaping emphasis, enunciation, and emotional truth
  • Mindfulness for performers: escaping overthinking and dropping into flow
  • “Alignment” as a compass for VO careers—and why training still matters

Wes shares his fascinating journey from starting as an intern in the voiceover industry to becoming a highly successful agent. In this episode, explore the evolution of voiceover, the impact of technology on the industry, and what it takes to make it as a voiceover artist today. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to the scene, this episode is packed with insights and advice from one of the industry's most experienced agents.

 

Wes has advocated for talent as a profession since 1994. He started in Columbus, Ohio at a small agency booking variety acts before joining Talent Group, Inc. (TGI) in Los Angeles in 1995 as an assistant. Seven years later, he acquired TGI's voice-over department and launched VOX, Inc. Wes has represented some of the biggest names in film, television, social media and music, alongside brands including Pixar, Disney, DreamWorks, Fox, GE, Apple, Dodge, Jaguar and Sprint. His first booking of note was placing David Hyde Pierce in "A Bugs Life," and the journey took him back to Pixar in 2009, when he placed Ed Asner in "Up." Along that road there have been many campaigns, series, films, and fond memories.

 

Having built the company off the springboard of his specialization in animation and gaming, the company’s success led to diversification into celebrity endorsements and innovative deals in hosting, podcasting, AI and other emerging media and technologies. Wes helps talented people create powerful, equitable, and long-term relationships. He thrills at the opportunity to connect the right talented people with each other.

 

Wes was born in Virginia. He is a military brat, an Eagle Scout and a graduate of the University of Virginia. Wes has run seven full marathons from Honolulu to Florence, Italy. He is very involved with Amazon Conservation Team and with Best Buddies, a global charity promoting the full integration of individuals with intellectual disabilities into mainstream society. He is passionate about creativity in all its expressions. Wes resides in Los Angeles with his husband and two pups.

Wes has advocated for talent as a profession since 1994. He started in Columbus, Ohio at a small agency booking variety acts before joining Talent Group, Inc. (TGI) in Los Angeles in 1995 as an assistant. Seven years later, he acquired TGI's voice-over department and launched VOX, Inc. Wes has represented some of the biggest names in film, television, social media and music, alongside brands including Pixar, Disney, DreamWorks, Fox, GE, Apple, Dodge, Jaguar and Sprint. His first booking of note was placing David Hyde Pierce in "A Bugs Life," and the journey took him back to Pixar in 2009, when he placed Ed Asner in "Up." Along that road there have been many campaigns, series, films, and fond memories.

 

Having built the company off the springboard of his specialization in animation and gaming, the company’s success led to diversification into celebrity endorsements and innovative deals in hosting, podcasting, AI and other emerging media and technologies. Wes helps talented people create powerful, equitable, and long-term relationships. He thrills at the opportunity to connect the right talented people with each other.

 

Wes was born in Virginia. He is a military brat, an Eagle Scout and a graduate of the University of Virginia. Wes has run seven full marathons from Honolulu to Florence, Italy. He is very involved with Amazon Conservation Team and with Best Buddies, a global charity promoting the full integration of individuals with intellectual disabilities into mainstream society. He is passionate about creativity in all its expressions. Wes resides in Los Angeles with his husband and two pups.
