Sliding Doors: Regret, Resilience, and Living Fully

What if you reached the end of your life and realized the only things you regretted were the moments you didn’t follow your gut?

In this inspiring episode of the Locker Power Room podcast, David opens up about life’s biggest questions, from regret and instinct to travel and guilty pleasures. Discover why he sees regret as “arrogant,” the unexpected cities that stole his heart—from Santiago’s vibrant charm to the Algarve’s tranquil beauty—and the life lesson he learned from a missed moment of instinctive kindness.

Key takeaways:

Trust your gut instincts, even when fear of judgment holds you back.

Travel isn’t just about sightseeing—it’s about finding places that feel like home.

Balance discipline with life’s simple pleasures for lasting happiness.
