In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, David sits down with Bonnie LePage — founder of The Maker, marketing, branding, and AI company — to talk about the power of storytelling, the courage to follow your intuition, and the importance of taking a leap of faith with your calling.

Bonnie shares her remarkable journey: from growing up in South Africa and adapting to a new life in the Midwest, to building a thriving marketing career, and then walking away from it all after a life-altering tragedy. She explains how grief became a catalyst for change, why she now builds brands around the person before the business, and how she helps founders share their genius with the world.

Together, David and Bonnie explore:

Why intuition is one of the most underused tools for founders
The role life-changing events play in sparking entrepreneurial leaps
How telling your authentic story attracts your right people — and repels the wrong ones
How vulnerability builds connection and attracts your community
Why stepping away from “shoulds” can open the door to your true calling
What makes microschools so powerful — for students and entrepreneurs
How life’s hardest seasons can reveal the work you were made to do
Practical ways to align your business with your deepest values

If you’ve been feeling a tug toward something more meaningful — or struggling to put your story into words — this episode is your permission to listen to yourself and take that first step.

🎧 Listen now and discover how to build work — and a life — that truly fits.
