🎙️ Episode 29 — From Prison to Purpose: David Carroll of Dope Marketing

In this episode of Through the Noise, I sit down with David Carroll, founder of Dope Marketing, to unpack one of the most powerful comeback stories in entrepreneurship. From prison at 21 to running a $100M company, Dave’s journey is raw, unfiltered, and deeply human. He shares how getting stabbed, rebuilding from nothing, and meeting his wife Brynn at a strip club became the unlikely foundation for a life of discipline, gratitude, and purpose.

But this conversation goes way deeper than business—it’s about identity, redemption, and the courage to change:

• How Dave went from a self-destructive lifestyle to leading 100+ employees.
• The moment that forced him to quit drinking and rebuild his marriage.
• What it really means to trust yourself and outgrow old versions of who you were.
• How slowing down, facing truth, and redefining success changed everything.
• Why clean data and AI adoption are the keys to the next era of business.
• Lessons on leadership, accountability, and showing up for the people who depend on you.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by your past or unsure how to level up without losing yourself, this episode will hit deep.
