453. “The Gap Is Where Life Happens” | Living Fully and Fearlessly with David Schnurman
Feb 16, 2026
What does it really mean to live life to your fullest potential, especially when you’re balancing career, family, and the pressure to have it all figured out?
On this episode we sat down with David Schnurman, entrepreneur, speaker, and CEO of Lawline, to unpack that question in a deeply human way. David has spent years building companies centered on education and growth, and his newest book, 11 Suitcases, brings those ideas home, literally, through his family’s decision to move abroad.
Our conversation explored how personal development, intentional discomfort, and shared experiences shape not just individual success, but family culture. David shared how books like The Miracle Morning and The Success Principles influenced his mindset, and how creating a family rallying cry led to transformative travel, deeper connection, and lasting memories. We also talked about why saying yes more often, journaling in real time, and leaning into the space between where you are and where you want to be can radically change how alive you feel.
