David Ask
Entrepreneur, Creative, and Most Encouraging Person on Earth
Hi there—I’m David Ask.
On paper, I’m an entrepreneur and inventor. I built a simple idea into a real product—StatGuardPlus—now in over 3,700 retail locations including The Home Depot and Lowe’s. That journey taught me a lot about grit, failure, risk, and perseverance. But what truly drives me today isn’t hardware—it’s people.
I currently serve as the lead coach for Dr. Andy Garrett’s True North Resiliency Program, where we help individuals, families, and organizations transform their internal culture by doing something surprisingly rare: introducing people to themselves. I often say NEVER start with Why.
I love conversations that are real, practical, and a little uncomfortable—in a good way. Topics I’m especially passionate about include:
* Entrepreneurship and fatherhood. How to live well and love well and why understanding Identity at YOUR core changes everything…
* Insights from my upcoming book The Guardians of Grit, exploring the difference between grit and resilience and how to raise and Uncrushable Son.
My mission is summed up by this quote:
“The greatest good you can do for another is not to share with him your riches, but to reveal to him his own.” —Benjamin Disraeli
