In this episode of The Brendon Show, Brendon Burchard interviews Dave Hollis, co‑founder of The Hollis Company and husband of Rachel Hollis. The conversation traces Dave’s journey from a senior sales executive at Walt Disney Studios to an entrepreneur working alongside his wife. Dave describes the existential crisis he faced when leaving a secure, high‑profile corporate role, the resulting identity vacuum, and how he turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism. He explains how he recognized the need for healthier habits, replacing drinking with running, and how this physical discipline reinforced mental resilience. The interview delves into the challenges of working with a spouse: differing communication styles, ego, role definition, and the importance of radical candor. Dave shares insights from his upcoming book Get Out of Your Own Way, highlighting common “lies” people tell themselves—such as self‑help being only for the broken, or equating titles with self‑worth—and offers actionable steps for personal growth. Throughout, both hosts emphasize the interplay between personal development, high‑performance habits, and navigating major life transitions while maintaining a healthy partnership.
