Join us as Jason chats with the Berkeley grad about his love for soccer & the Lakers, being a math whiz, and a self-proclaimed nerd. Jason gets to the bottom of why David's fascinated with statistics and probability, and how betting with friends in high school set him up for later in life.
David will share his journey to success starting with collecting baseball cards which later turned into playing cards at casinos around the globe, and eventually pushing him to gamble on a couple companies: BloomNation and Whippy.
Tune in to today's engaging episode as Jason’s curiosity leads David to spill how he convinced Lakers’ owner, the late Jerry Buss, to write him a recommendation letter to business school, what it truly takes to be a great poker player, a better business owner, and even better person.
