Life's Essential Ingredients
Life’s Essential Ingredients is spinoff of C4 Leaders, a California based non-profit who uses PIZZA to guide all people in RISING TOGETHER. The show is hosted by two best friends who were college roommates at the University of San Francisco – (Jeff with a Mike). Just launched Season 6 with the show currently listened to in 145 countries and 1486 cities.
The educational and entertaining show takes a deep, yet humorous look at life’s essential ingredients. The hosts engage in interesting conversation with some of the world’s best leaders, authors, athletes, musicians, chefs, architects, moms, dads, brothers, sisters, comedians, CEOs, coaches, professors, teachers, and many, many, more industries and professions.
The goal of the show is to have the guest highlight their life’s essential ingredients and for the listener to add an ingredient or two to their life recipe.
The hosts create space for the guest to be the star of the show and provide an incredible platform to highlight their life, their business, their passion, and most importantly, their gift they share with the world.

You can find David via his website theaskexperience.com
About our Guest – David is an entrepreneur and inventor who built a simple idea into a real product—StatGuardPlus—now in over 3,700 retail locations including The Home Depot and Lowe’s. That journey taught him a lot about grit, failure, risk, and perseverance. But what truly drives David today isn’t hardware—it’s people.
David currently serves as the lead coach for Dr. Andy Garrett’s True North Resiliency Program, where he helps individuals, families, and organizations transform their internal culture by doing something surprisingly rare: introducing people to themselves.
David, thanks for sharing all your talents, beliefs, gifts…with people all over the world and thanks for being our guest on Life’s Essential Ingredients. Welcome to the show!
TOTD – “Your children are the greatest gift God will give to you, and their souls the heaviest responsibility He will place in your hands. Take time with them, teach them to have faith in God. Be a person in whom they can have faith. When you are old, nothing else you've done will have mattered as much.” Lisa Wingate
