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.

He Had the Perfect Job… But Was Still Miserable | Korey Lonberger
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Korey Lonberger grew up in a tiny farming town in Kansas where life revolved around sports, hard work, and small-town values.
After playing college football, he entered the corporate world and eventually landed a job that most people would consider the dream: great money, flexible hours, and the ability to travel the world.
But even with all of that, something was missing.
When layoffs hit his company, Korey decided to take the risk many people avoid. He emptied his savings, stepped away from corporate life, and began rebuilding his career from scratch in the fitness world.
Today he helps coach people toward a different kind of strength — one that goes beyond the gym.
In this episode we talk about:
• Small town upbringing and family dynamics
• The anger Korey had to confront early in life
• His time working as an EMT and the realities of trauma
• Why chasing optimization can disconnect you from yourself
• Leaving a comfortable job to pursue a meaningful life
• What masculinity looks like when it’s grounded in discipline instead of ego
If you’re someone trying to figure out what path to take in life — this conversation might give you a new perspective.
