In July 2025, David Nebinski embarked on an experiment: call one new person every day for a month. No scripts, no agenda, no calendar invite. Just pick up the phone, call a number, and see what happened. What happened next planted the seed for his own next chapter. In this episode, David unpacks the discomfort, confusion, excitement, and embarrassment of being in his middle, and talks candidly about the courage it takes to leave something “perfect” and chase who you want to become.

David Nebinski works with founders and companies to build their brand community through go-to-market roles, projects, and consulting opportunities. Prior to this, he spent over four years building and growing the Chief of Staff Network community, where he built followings of 30,000+ followers, launched a podcast, and hosted and produced hundreds of global events. He lives in New York City and is known for his community skills and love of funky pants.
