The Playbook With David Meltzer

Stop Interfering With Your Potential

In today’s episode, I break down why your frequency shapes your reality and why truth and potential vibrate faster than fear or distraction. I share how meditation shifted my awareness, how attention and intention create coincidence, and why most people stay busy instead of abundant. I explain the difference between discipline and devotion, the math behind luck, and how knowing your what, who, how, now, and why shortens resistance. I also open up about losing everything, rebuilding with wisdom and faith, and learning that abundance already exists when you stop interfering with it.

Your Past Is a Lens Not a Leader

In today’s episode, I share the six lessons behind the meaning of the past and why we do not suffer in the present. Reality is neutral and meaning is assigned, so I show how past stories drain energy, distort decisions, and create fear through projection. I explain how thoughts are signals, not commands, why we are rarely upset for the reasons we think, and how presence beats prediction when execution matters. I walk through cancel, clear, and connect as a repeatable way to reset, reclaim attention, intention, interpretation, and take the smallest next step aligned with where we want to be or better.

Why Small Wins Matter More Than Big Expectations

In today’s episode, I sit down with Patrick McEnroe, former professional tennis player, longtime broadcaster, and president of the International Tennis Hall of Fame. We talk about what years in elite sports teach you about pressure, patience, and personal growth, especially for young athletes navigating expectations shaped by social media. Patrick shares lessons from coaching kids, parenting teenagers, and competing at the highest level, including how listening changes performance, why small goals matter more than wins, and how to separate identity from outcomes. We also get into how tennis has evolved, what truly separates top players across eras, and why fulfillment comes from pursuing your own potential, not chasing comparisons.

Live in the Present: The Real Key to Success

In this episode, I share why most of our suffering comes from living in the past or worrying about the future instead of staying present. When we live where our feet are, we gain clarity, confidence, and momentum. I break down how devotion to daily non-negotiable behaviors, learning from the past without living in it, and taking consistent action creates real progress. Your future isn’t built tomorrow; it’s created by what you do today. To join my next free Friday Training sessions, email me at david@dmeltzer.com [david@dmeltzer.com]

Showing Up No Matter What

In today’s episode, I’m joined by James Maslow and Justin Guarini for an honest conversation about showing up when conditions are far from perfect. We talk about discipline as a daily decision, managing resentment on the road, and why consistency matters more than circumstance. James shares lessons from touring while sick, building multiple businesses, and protecting routine in chaos. Justin reflects on Broadway, identity, and using perspective to serve others at the highest level, even on off days. Together, we unpack prioritization, non-negotiables, and how mindset, health, and preparation shape long-term success across entertainment, entrepreneurship, and life.
