Speak Life with Taylor Nichols


Sep 17, 2019

We are kicking off season two with a really incredible story, one that I actually learned about through an Instagram post! Today's guest is David Magee. He is the author of a dozen books, including How Toyota Became #1 and The John Deere Way. David is a columnist for Newsweek and former managing director for U.S. news at Newsweek. He is a sought after keynote speaker and has hosted a daily national cable television and radio program -- The David Magee Show, as well as having been a regular guest on CNBC and Fox Business. There is so much to David's life, but it was the story of him finding his birth family that caught my eye and what stole my heart was hearing David’s profound journey of finding himself along the way. His story is dynamic and full of unexpected twists and turns, and his heart an engaging and powerful example of what it looks like when you allow challenges and adversities to shape you into a compassionate, understanding and truly extraordinary soul. Our conversation is deep, meaningful, and full of hope. It's truly astonishing to hear all of the details that led him to locate his birth family, almost thirty years after he made the decision to start looking for them. There are so many incredible moments, including a courthouse clerk that shared his birth mother’s name over the telephone and a camp doctor who was actually his brother! You truly have to hear it to believe it! Although we only talk briefly about the loss of his beloved son William and the ways his life is still impacting the world for good, we end the show with a commitment to continue the conversation in an upcoming episode to hear more about William's life and the journey David and his entire family have been on in making William's legacy impact the world for generations to come. Here’s my conversation with David Magee.
