In this insightful episode of the Move Forward Every Day with MaryRuth’s podcast, MaryRuth welcomes a very special guest — a longtime family friend and now founder of Commander AI, David Berg. Together, they reflect on their journey of growth, from childhood connections to building businesses, and dive into powerful lessons around discipline, structure, wellness, and resilience. 

This episode covers the real truths about creating freedom through structure, the role of consistent routines in mental clarity, the benefits of visualizing your day ahead, and the ups and downs of entrepreneurship — including the grit it takes to hear “no” hundreds of times before landing a breakthrough “yes.” If you’re navigating your 20s, building a business, or simply striving for balance and purpose, this conversation is filled with wisdom you won’t want to miss.
