David Rios: What to Do When Life Breaks Your Heart

What do you do when life breaks your heart — and you still have to keep going?

David Rios is a top real estate force in the Coachella Valley and Los Angeles markets, a visionary designer, and the creator behind one of Palm Springs' most elegant boutique hotel experiences. But long before the billboards, hotels, and success, David was forced to figure life out on his own at just 16 years old.

In this deeply personal conversation, David shares how rejection, heartbreak, and hardship became the very foundation of his strength, authenticity, and success.

This is where you'll want to hit rewind. You'll hear:
• What happened when David was asked to leave home at 16 and how it shaped his future
• Why he believes being self driven matters more than being "self made"
• The 20 minute rule he uses to process setbacks without letting them steal his day
• How authenticity transformed his relationships, business, and personal life
• Why real estate and design go hand in hand when creating meaningful spaces
• How showing up, building relationships, and staying humble opened every door
• What it took to rebuild after a major business setback and keep believing anyway
