David's Saturday Night Sit Back (DSNSB)
When I started this show, I had no clear direction — no perfect plan, no “ideal guest.”
So, I committed to recording 21 episodes and figured if something clicked, I’d keep going. Around episode 12, a guest flipped the script and started asking me the hard questions. I was terrified to publish it — but I’d be a hypocrite to ask for people’s truth if I wasn’t willing to give mine.
Then a 17-year-old approached me at the gym after hearing my story. He told me that at 16, he tried to take his own life. And somehow, hearing that episode gave him the hope to keep going.
This podcast is now a mission: to tell personal stories with an aim light the internal fire in young men and women across the globe who are walking through the dark night of their journey.

Firefighter, EMT, and hybrid athlete Ryan Swenson joins David for a grounded, honest conversation about purpose, discipline, and training when lives are on the line.
From small-town Minnesota to the Georgetown Fire Department, Ryan breaks down:
- Why firefighters train differently
- How faith and discipline shape decision-making
- The reality of emergency calls — serious and lighthearted
- Why physical readiness is a responsibility, not a hobby
- What young people should consider before choosing this path
This episode is a reminder that becoming capable — physically, mentally, spiritually — changes how you show up for others.
