The David Guttman Podcast

Alan Hidalgo built four businesses across rideshare, marketing, e-commerce, and online education before turning 28 and got screwed over enough times along the way to build a brutal screening system for who he'll ever partner with again. In this conversation, he hands me the entire playbook.

You think rescuing your kids is love? Trystan Trenberth spent years thinking the same thing, until a therapist friend's single question forced him to see that his daughters didn't want him to solve their problems. They wanted to be heard. Trystan unpacks why failure isn't off the road to success but is the road, and how that same contrast principle reshaped his approach to fatherhood, fitness, and the overfunded whole life insurance strategy he uses to build wealth today.

There’s a moment Vince Ricci describes where time froze: a gun in his back outside his own home, his wife and newborn daughter inside, and two armed strangers waiting for him to open the door. Untrained and outnumbered, he made a choice that went viral hundreds of millions of times over. But the real story isn’t the shootout; it’s what he learned about getting “civilized,” the Rocky-esque warning about what comfort does to a fighter, and why he believes every man has an obligation to stay dangerous for the people he loves.

There’s a moment in most people’s lives when something so raw and undeniable happens that they can no longer pretend the old version of themselves is working. For Roger da Silva, that moment came at two in the morning in one of Rio’s most dangerous neighborhoods, high and staring at a man running toward him screaming “Lucifer.” In this deeply personal conversation, Roger walks me through a spiritual journey that began with a baptism at 14, detoured through addiction and near-death, and ultimately arrived at a life built on faith, family, and purpose.
