David Goldstein: Building a Business With Integrity & Creating New Opportunities For Creativity and Pla
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." This proverb is old but will always ring true. In this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, Chris welcomes David Goldstein, the Founder and Creator of Opportunities at TeamBonding, the leading creator and provider of virtual, hybrid, and in-person team building events. Listen in as Chris and David discuss the power of play, team building, creating opportunities, and developing a mindset of gratitude to propel your life forward.
“We need to get to places and have experiences that allow people to have fun together, to play together, to meet each other, to trust each other. This is what life is about. It’s not about going to work, it’s about the things that work opens up for you.” – David Goldstein
David shares his origination story, from landing on the front page of the Wall Street Journal as a 26-year-old to running a team building company that hosts thousands of events for the world’s biggest companies every year. He highlights the importance of sharing your creative ideas with others and rejecting the philosophy that every minute of every day as an entrepreneur should be spent thinking about work.
“With [entrepreneurship], at any point you can fall, there’s no safety net. But when you have someone by your side, that’s where the safety net is.” – David Goldstein
David also sheds light on how he involved his kids in entrepreneurship and taught them the value of starting a business. He offers words of wisdom on making ADHD your entrepreneurial superpower and what to do when your success doesn’t feel enough. Then, Chris breaks down the psychological benefits of being grateful for even the worst things that have ever happened to you (yes, there are benefits!).
