How I Rewrote My Story
And Created A Revolution
Hi! I’m David Mykel.
This is my story.
You’ve carried a level of pressure most people will never understand. I know that world—because I’ve lived it. I burned out trying to be the one who could “handle anything,” and rebuilding myself forced me to master psychology, neuroscience, movement, and breathwork as one system. So when you work with me, you’re not getting a traditional coach—you’re getting someone who understands the stakes you operate under and knows how to restore clarity, control, and resilience so you can lead at your highest level without losing yourself.

LIFE-CHANGING MOMENTS
curiosity and pioneering spirit is born
I realized at an early age that I liked doing things my way.
Learning self-discipline, hard work and motivation can separate you from others.
My work ethic showed me that no matter where I came from, I can become anything I want.
I had to stop feeling sorry for myself, rethink my life, pivot my desires and take action by enrolling in graduate school because that’s what society tells us to do.
I realized that I actually liked school and was a nerd (and an athlete - you can be BOTH) when I found something I was passionate about (Psychology).
I saw that my job, title and salary didn’t define who I was and that money alone did NOT make me happy or give me purpose.
I witnessed how others around the world lived, found fulfillment and purpose. I tried to bring this back to the US, but dozens of rejection letters put me back into litigation.
I realized no one is safe from depression (even a psychologist) regardless of what you have and do.
I became obsessed with the how (neuroscience) and the why (psychology) of our brain’s and committed to beat depression and take my life back.
I saw that living someone else’s dream (society) never works. You can’t find fulfillment in something you don’t believe in and what we’ve been told by society about fulfillment, purpose and happiness is bull$hit.
Combining my background in fitness (30+ years) and psychology (25+) along with the tools and tactics that I created from beating depression and found a way to help high-performers and exposed how the psychology and fitness industries lied to us all.
I realized that if we dedicate ourselves fully & truly to something we believe in, God will show up. Not in the way we want, but in the way we need.
I learned that if I focus on what I can control, be patient, be of service and never quit that success is inevitable and you CAN have a psychologist, personal trainer, breakwork teacher and meditation instructor, all in one.
