""My wife doesn't like me saying this," Meltzer admits. "I invested $100 million. Without that investment, I wouldn't be where I am today. So how could I not see it as an investment?""
""I don't believe in sacrifice," Meltzer says. "That's a vision of shortage and scarcity. I believe in investing. When you love the earth, it loves you back. When you love your relationships, they love you back. I make that investment.""
David Meltzer lost over $100 million and reframed the loss as an investment that enabled later success. He uses storytelling to amplify messages and align purpose, mentoring entrepreneurs at events like the National Restaurant Association Show. Meltzer treats sleep as a top nonnegotiable because recovery fuels performance. He classifies activities as investments of time and energy rather than work versus play. He rejects the idea of sacrifice as scarcity thinking and instead invests in relationships and in the earth. He shares losses and lessons openly on social media and interviews to ensure those lessons endure digitally.
