David Rossi built and ran a large construction business in Silicon Valley, with the houses, boats and status to match. He tells Roy how a personal crisis, the loss of that business and a first meditation class in 2016 changed his life. They talk about how meditation became a daily practice, the books and ancient texts that guided him, and how he learned to forgive his family and his ex-wife. David explains his idea of the ego as a set of “peacock feathers”, why vulnerability and awareness are the starting point for self-mastery, and what being sovereign means to him. He shares how he approaches relationships, business and parenting through what he calls objective morality. He also describes the contents of his new book, Alpha’s Die Early.
This episode reflects David’s personal experiences and views. It is not medical advice
