Dave Of The Dead Podcast

The name Dave of the Dead comes from the idea behind Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos) — that the people we’ve lost are never really gone as long as we remember them. I’ve lived through loss, and what I learned is this: grief doesn’t end life, it deepens it. Along the way, we’re forced to learn things we never asked to learn, surrender to truths we can’t control, and grow in ways we didn’t plan. This show exists to honor those moments — the ones that break us, rebuild us, and shape who we become — so the lessons don’t stop with us. These conversations aren’t about death. They’re about what outlives us, and what we choose to pass on while we’re still here. Dave of The Dead is a candid, insight-rich podcast where host and lifelong entrepreneur David Chitel, goes beyond the surface of success and failure to explore the pivotal moments that define who we become. Rooted in the show’s four core pillars, each episode moves fluidly from a sharp thematic hook to personal reflections and deep unfiltered conversations with guests about the truths they’ve learned along their journey. The show leans into real stories about life decisions, business battles, bold reinventions, and the kinds of enduring lessons that shape our character, our craft and our entire lives.
