If you’re constantly jumping from idea to idea, trying to build multiple income streams, or wondering when it’s time to expand into something new, this conversation is for you.

Quis joins Selection Process for a raw conversation about dating, relationships, standards, leadership, faith, and why he’s remained single for nearly 10 years.
At 43, Quis says he knows exactly what he wants in a woman and isn’t willing to compromise just to say he’s in a relationship. He breaks down the one question he asks women to determine compatibility, why he believes a man should lead the relationship, and why exclusivity doesn’t automatically mean someone is his girlfriend.
The conversation gets even deeper as David challenges him on submission, marriage, physical attraction, intimacy before marriage, and whether his standards are actually helping him find a wife or keeping him single.
Is Quis being intentional about choosing the right woman, or are his standards making it almost impossible to find her?

Is paying thousands of dollars for a course, conference, or business event actually worth it?
In this episode of the Social Proof Podcast, David Shands and Donni Wiggins break down the conversation surrounding Invest Fest, business conferences, coaching programs, networking, and why some entrepreneurs walk away feeling transformed while others feel like they wasted their money.
Donni shares how she once invested $5,000 into a course and used what she learned from that experience to help create a business that went on to generate millions.
David and Donni also discuss why execution matters more than simply buying information, how to approach conferences strategically, the power of getting into the right rooms, dealing with criticism and negative publicity, protecting your reputation, and why entrepreneurs have to stop allowing social media opinions to make decisions for them.
Sometimes the opportunity isn't the problem. It's what you do with the opportunity once you have it.

In this episode of The Exit Interview, David sits down with Jasmene Bowdry for one of the most honest conversations we've had about love, healing, heartbreak, and the journey back to trusting again.
After discovering her longtime partner was living a double life, Jasmene chose to walk away, move to a new city, and pour everything into building her business. Thirteen years later, she opens up about what she's learned through therapy, entrepreneurship, faith, boundaries, and dating with intention.
They discuss why successful women often stay single longer, the difference between standards and settling, healing from betrayal, dating after heartbreak, emotional triggers, relationships with entrepreneurs, what healthy love actually looks like, and whether waiting for the right person is worth it.
The conversation takes an unexpected turn as David even attempts to set Jasmene up on a real date during the interview.
If you've ever questioned whether you're asking for too much in a relationship, struggled to trust again after being hurt, or wondered if healing changes what you're looking for in a partner, this episode is for you.
