How Making One Small Decision Will Lead To Claiming Your Future: David Richman

How do we pull ourselves out of a dark place and into a
healthier, happier life? Why do we feel guilty when we take care
of ourselves? How can we break the habit of comparing ourselves
to others? What is the best way to cope with emotional
trauma? 


At the age of 39, David Richman reached arguably the lowest point
in his life. He was in an abusive relationship with an alcoholic,
he was overweight, he was a smoker, and his health was failing.
He was struggling. One day, he looked in the mirror and asked
himself “What do you want to be?” His answer? “I want to be an
athlete.” 18 years later, David is a motivational speaker,
author, trainer, and consultant. He’s done more Iron Man races
than you can count on two hands and he is just getting started.
David joins us on the SuperAge podcast to talk about his journey
from darkness to health and happiness, the wisdom and stories
that he offers in his books, how to cope with trauma, and
more.

How to pick yourself up out of a dark place 

How to re-frame your mindset to one of an athlete

How living for yourself allows you to show up for your loved

How to stop comparing yourself to others and how comparison

How to cope with trauma 



“You can’t be a dead hero. So you’ve got to take care of yourself
first before you can take care of others.” 


“Just be the best you. Don’t try to be the best them.” 


“If you do take one more step, that’s further than you’ve ever
pushed yourself in your life.” 


“I want to be the guy that always believes that my best days are
ahead of me. So if I want to be an athlete, I’m going to keep
being athletic. If I want to go start a business, I’m going to do
it. If I want to write more books, I’m  going to do
it.”
