• How David used discipline + math to build his first client base
• The truth about risk-adjusted decisions in business and life
• Why entrepreneurs should stop borrowing money and start selling equity
• How he scaled Flour + Water into a nationally recognized brand
• The hidden traps that destroy entrepreneurs (and how to avoid them)
• The one habit that eliminates financial anxiety
• How David is using his success to empower immigrant entrepreneurs and fund long-term impact
