About David's Saturday Night Sit Back

When I started this show, I had no clear direction — no perfect plan, no “ideal guest.” So, I committed to recording 21 episodes and figured if something clicked, I’d keep going. Around episode 12, a guest flipped the script and started asking me the hard questions. I was terrified to publish it — but I’d be a hypocrite to ask for people’s truth if I wasn’t willing to give mine. Then a 17-year-old approached me at the gym after hearing my story. He told me that at 16, he tried to take his own life. And somehow, hearing that episode gave him the hope to keep going. This podcast is now a mission: to tell personal stories with an aim light the internal fire in young men and women across the globe who are walking through the dark night of their journey.

What If Losing Is Exactly What Makes You Dangerous? Michael Bannach

Published 20 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Yeah. You know, from where I've been sitting, and even though I've only known you for a couple of hours, I feel like, you know, you're the only one that can get in your own way. You know, by allowing yourself to fall into those distractions, whether that's drinking or, you know, laying on the floor thinking that the world is coming to an end, you're the only one that can stop you. So I hope that as you navigate what I think is going to be a very successful career in fighting, that you don't let you get in your way. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I...
