Dave's Quick Fire Answers

What does success mean to you?

"Whatever I'm doing, I'm able to do things that fulfil me, that I'm proud of, and inspire people and be a role model."

What does happiness mean to you?

"Seeing other people being content and happy and achieving things. Emotional contagion is a real thing for me, especially around the people that mean the most. If they're happy, energised, enthusiastic and achieving things, that's my definition of happiness."

What's your normal morning routine these days?

"Up at five, a bodyweight workout with my water weights, ab roller and skipping rope, ran up and down our hill a couple of times, shower with the last 30 seconds cold, four eggs with sauerkraut, olive oil, salt and pepper, made the girls' lunch, then a coffee with Jackie when she woke up."

What piece of advice would you put on a billboard for the world to see?

"Understanding and leading self is hard. But if you do that well, you will live a life free of shame, guilt and regret."

Who would you suggest as a future guest on the show?

"Graham Twine, GT, founder and MD of Suncoast Fresh. He is a ball of energy and super interesting. Or Billy Bennett, a TV reporter."
