The Greatness Garage Episode 158 - David Handler

In this episode of The Greatness Garage, Brad Borkhuis welcomes executive coach David Handler—a man whose career spans sports television, global sports travel, franchising, and over two decades of leadership coaching. David shares remarkable stories from his journey, including what he “wished he would have” done differently, lessons learned from missed opportunities, and how risk tolerance shapes our paths in business and in life.

From launching a Notre Dame travel company on a napkin sketch to producing thousands of live sports broadcasts, David’s experiences reveal the balance between hesitation and boldness, and how confidence (or the lack of it) can alter our trajectory. He also reflects on the wisdom that helped him shift from playing by others’ rules to trusting his own voice—both in media and in coaching.

Listen in for a rich conversation on opportunity, risk, resilience, and the power of showing up authentically in work and life.
