The Art of Curating Your Life Team for Maximum Growth with David Nordel

Published on: 10th September, 2024

Are you looking for the secret to finding hope and meaningful connections in life, even in the face of adversity? David Nordel joins me to share the truth about building a supportive life team, with people who will support you and provide positive perspectives. The weight of past mistakes and day-to-day struggles can amplify feelings of isolation and overwhelm. You're not alone and this isn't a permanent situation! It's common to feel stuck and isolated when trying to navigate the journey of personal growth and longing for deep, loyal relationships. This conversation with David helps us to ditch that sense of disconnection and frustration.

It was David's own struggles with transition from the military, addiction and PTSD that fueled his desire to create a better option for those following a similar path as him. After 30 years of service in the United States Air Force, he retired as Command Chief Master Sergeant and is now CEO of MAX FAB Consulting. His vision now centers around giving back and making a positive impact, increasing people's personal growth and helping others elevate their lives.

  • Discover how personal growth can help with overcoming PTSD.
  • Learn the power of forgiveness in the healing process.
  • Uncover the secrets to building a strong and supportive life team.
  • Explore the impact of anger on mental health and effective coping strategies.

About the Podcast

Living Fearless Today
Helping men live fully alive, boldly and courageously
Do you feel overwhelmed when making decisions? Struggle to take action in your personal life or career? Think you're alone in these situations? You're not! In fact, you're in good company. 
 
I'm Mike Forrester, host of the Living Fearless Today podcast. Join me as I interview other men who triumphed over their own adversities, learn how they did it and where they are today. So that whatever you're facing, know others fought the same battle and have conquered those challenges. They are now encouraging you and me to live our life boldly and courageously alongside them.
 
Let's disprove the lie that we're the only one who's going through this situation, that no one knows what it's like. You're not alone in the struggle you're working through. As men, we have more in common in our journey than you might want to believe.
 
Join me here each Tuesday for the interview and then again on Friday as I spotlight the lessons learned. How we can apply them to become the confident and courageous man we're wanting to be - for ourselves, our wife and our children.
 
Be sure to give a follow to the Living Fearless Today podcast on your favorite platform. I look forward to being with you during the next episode.
