Episode 3 – David Gomes

David is a rockstar hairdresser turned movie producer, turned personal coach. He is a profound man who’s life thus far has focused on serving the lives of others. He is a true embodiment of all of his teachings.

In a wide-ranging interview we discussed:

– Coaching as a way to insight into the human condition
– Detaching oneself from tasks
– Mindfulness in all facets of life.. and even death
– Millennials in the workplace
– Bringing our whole selves to work
– The genderless soul

David also left us with two simple yet profound questions as we kick-off 2019: 
1) Where do I need to be supported in my life? 
2) Where do I need to be a support?

He also left listeners with these provocative questions related to your career and personal life:
1) What do you want to serve? 
2) What would be something exciting that, at the end of your life, you can look back and say that it meant something?
