In this episode of Out of the Trance, I sit down with my friend Dave David Danzeiser —my first guest of Season 2, set in Bali. Dave’s journey is anything but conventional. A decade ago, he walked away from a future in biomedical engineering, propelled by an eye-opening mushroom experience that set him on a path of travel, entrepreneurship, and radical self-inquiry. We explore his transition to minimalist travel, the profound lessons from a life-altering heartbreak, and the serendipitous encounters that shaped the work he does today.

Dave shares how he now helps high-achieving men navigate heartbreak, rediscover purpose, and cultivate emotional freedom through intentional living and journaling. We also dive into the power of embracing change, seeking guidance, and practicing gratitude—and how these themes overlap with my own work in hypnotherapy, regression, and inner child healing. Tune in for an inspiring conversation on breaking free from societal scripts and designing a life that aligns with who you truly are.
