David is the founder of OG Therapy and has a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology and is a Licensed marriage and family therapist. He has a TedxTalk, hosted an ESPN radio show, and is the host of the Light The Fight podcast which has millions of downloads. In the past 8 years, David has been training business executives, companies, school district administration, and teachers on the importance of social health as a top priority in their organizations.

David recognized a pattern over the years while providing family therapy for business owners. They commented the same relationship issues and communication challenges David helped them improve in their families also existed in their companies. By request, of a few clients they asked David to conduct presentations and trainings for their employees to teach them the same skills David taught the business owners as parents.

These business owners believed the skills which he taught them to run a successful family business would also be effective in giving their companies an advantage in their industry.  It became evident to his clients that David’s Family Business Model, which he taught them in family therapy, was a viable system for them to implement in their businesses. This is because every successful business has a culture that feels like a healthy family and every healthy family runs like a successful business.

The Family Business Model for Business improves employee retention, increases productivity, and drastically improves relationships within the business and with their customers. The model combines David’s 23 years of mental health experience, recent social psychology research, feedback from customers and business owners of organizations who David has worked with.
