About David Askaripour

I've been thinking about life, existence, and truth for as long as I could remember. When I was about 7 I remember getting a headache trying to figure out who created God...and if someone created him, then who create him? I love investigating and testing, taking nothing for truth that outside my direct experience. At the age of 12, I started my own candy selling business; it grew so large that the principal ended up closing me down (but that was just the beginning...) Through my videos and articles, I share my journey with the world.

    i like this guy – that clip.

    he’s genuine.
    what you see – is what you get…he’s not a complicated, smug, ivy league guy that’s hard to relate to.
    he’s like your working man, renaissance man of an entrepreneur.

    you do, fail many times – indeed.
    your cache of cash you saved up is only so much – meaning you can only fail so many times, before being forced back into the workplace as an employee

    Yeah, indeed! Darius definitely keeps it real and tells it like it is — always. Glad that you liked his talks; I did as well. Come to NYC and see him speak in person :)
