Unlocking the Power of Play to Transform Kids, Parents, and Entrepreneurs with David Schatzkamer

“Kids play. Birds fly. Fish swim. It’s natural—you don’t have to teach it.”

What if the key to thriving in both parenting and business was as simple as play? In this heart-opening conversation, Steve sits down with David, a seasoned therapist who works with children ages three to eight, to explore the wisdom we can learn from the way kids build, connect, and bounce back. David reveals why getting down to a child’s eye level changes everything, how unstructured play fuels confidence, and why the way we communicate with kids often mirrors the way we connect with adults.

Through vivid stories from his work and life, David invites listeners to trade perfection for presence, abandon rigid agendas, and see every setback as a chance to rebuild with joy. His journey from camp counselor to serial entrepreneur proves that purpose-driven work doesn’t have to be complicated—it can be as natural as kids laughing when the tower of blocks falls.

Whether you’re a parent, a leader, or simply someone seeking more joy in your daily life, you’ll leave with fresh tools to connect deeply, collaborate fearlessly, and infuse your work with the kind of lighthearted resilience that keeps kids—and successful entrepreneurs—thriving.
