In this episode of the Brendon Show, Brendon Burchard interviews Dave Hollis, co‑founder of The Hollis Company and husband of Rachel Hollis. Dave recounts his 20‑plus‑year career at Disney, where he rose to head of sales for the movie studio, and the existential emptiness he felt despite external success. He describes the painful transition from a secure corporate role to entrepreneurship alongside his wife, including a brief relapse into casual drinking as a coping mechanism, and how he replaced it with running and structured morning routines. The conversation explores the challenges of working with a spouse—ego, communication styles, role definition, and radical candor—while highlighting the importance of vulnerability, personal development, and redefining identity beyond titles. Dave also discusses the public scrutiny that comes with their growing brand, the lies he once believed about self‑help, and the actionable insights from his new book, Get Out of Your Own Way, aimed at helping both men and women overcome self‑imposed barriers.
