In this episode of PodCrash, Matt Ebert sits down with entrepreneur and former sports executive David Meltzer for a conversation about business, leadership, and why the wrong people can quietly ruin everything you are trying to build.



Using ideas from his book Don’t Do Business With Dicks, David breaks down how toxic people affect companies, why character matters more than an impressive resume, and how insecurity, ego, and poor judgment can lead to bad partnerships and bad decisions. He also talks about losing everything, rebuilding his life, and the habits that helped him become more disciplined, more self-aware, and more effective as a leader.
