Meet David J. Greer, a sober entrepreneurial coach who was adopted into an entrepreneurial family and developed a passion for technology early in life. At 22, he joined a young software startup, and stayed for 20 years, becoming co-owner, while building the company into a global powerhouse.
After selling out of that business, he and his wife took a break, commissioning a sailboat in the South of France and home-schooling their three children for two years while sailing 5,000 miles in the Mediterranean. Winds of change can alter a person's course, and for David, it was this particular sabbatical that provided a new compass for his life.
Upon returning to shore, David reaches a turning point in his life, leading him to an unexpected meeting that redefined his path. His sobriety story is an intimate exploration of the challenges that entrepreneurs may face when their pursuit and gain of big-time success meets the insidious grip of addiction.
Today, David enjoys 14 years of continuous sobriety, which is why he focuses on helping entrepreneurs who struggle with alcoholism and/or addiction. From the cunning strategies he once employed to hide his drinking to the turning point that led him to his first 12-step meeting, David’s insights into overcoming alcoholism are as compelling as his success as a business professional.
Moreover, his transformation has had a ripple effect, extending beyond personal growth to include the reconciliation with his biological family and the legacy he's building through coaching. Join us for an episode that affirms the strength of the human spirit and the power of connection in steering a path to fulfillment and success.
