I'm David Ojalvo, and I've been and continue to be on quite a journey of self-discovery with the intention to live...well, a less self-destructive life. Leaving behind the stories that used to fill me with shame and anger, and start living my dream of being an actor and finding the courage to be present for all the possibilities that today and tomorrow might hold. I'm ready to share my story, and yours, on this podcast. Exploring all the ups and downs, failures and triumphs that have made us humans who we are today and will be tomorrow. I invite you to join me on this journey.

David talks about how traveling in Cambodia taught him how far he had come in his search and how far away he actually was upon coming back.

Who are you when what you do best, what gives you esteem, money and happiness is taken from you in an instant? This is what happened to Dr. Brad Rosen, who lost his ability to be an eye surgeon and left him no other choice but to confront the one person he never needed nor wanted to face before...himself. It's the long journey to self-discovery and, eventually, GRATITUDE. Thank you to Brad for his courage in sharing his inspiring story! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/david-ojalvo/message
