Welcome to the inspiring journey of David Smith, a resilient individual who has overcome immense challenges to reshape his life and now strives to make a positive impact on others. In this podcast, we delve into David's remarkable life story.
At the age of 4 or 5, David entered the care system, embarking on a tumultuous path that lasted until he turned 16. Following this, he found himself living in hostels and even on the streets until a pivotal moment propelled him to join the army at 19. However, the scars of abuse suffered during his time in the care system left a lasting impact, altering his perception of the world and instilling a profound mistrust in others until they prove themselves.
David's journey took an incredible turn when he served 8 years in the Grenadier's Guards as a Lance Corporal and Physical Training Instructor. He faced the challenges of two deployments in Afghanistan, where his courage and selflessness shone through. His heroic actions in 2012 earned him a mention in dispatches for saving a fellow soldier's life, who had been struck by a sniper's bullet.
The shadows of tragedy have also loomed over David's life, as he lost his mother at 16, his biological father at 19, and his sister at 27. The weight of these losses, combined with the haunting memories of his military experiences, led David to grapple with PTSD and depression, pushing him to the brink of ending his life on three occasions.
Despite the darkness that engulfed him, David's spirit refused to be extinguished. After leaving the army in 2017 due to his battle with PTSD, he navigated a winding road of mental health hospitals and treatments. Over the past 5 years, he courageously opted to work on his mindset, striving for healing without relying solely on medication. In the last 2 years, he embraced his role as a mindset soldier, utilising his experiences to create content that not only transformed his own life but also aims to inspire and assist others in reshaping their perspectives.
David's journey continued to evolve as he expanded into public speaking, ventured into property, and launched a compelling podcast. His influence extended to the field of occupational health, where he now dedicates his efforts. As this podcast unfolds, you'll witness David's unwavering determination culminate in the forthcoming launch of his own life and mindset coaching venture.
Amidst his trials and triumphs, David found solace and enlightenment through his two beautiful children, Storie and Naevie. Their presence illuminated his path to becoming a better person, teaching him invaluable lessons in emotional growth.
Tune in to David Smith's extraordinary story as he takes you on a transformative journey of resilience, growth, and the power of changing one's mindset. Prepare to be inspired, motivated, and moved as David's experiences shape a narrative of hope, strength, and the capacity for change.
