In this episode of the TLW Podcast, Jonathan Pixley and Dr. Sean Owens sit down with attorney and sports law specialist David Fleshman for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had yet.

David shares his journey from standout high school athlete to LSU basketball walk on, and how a major knee injury reshaped his path early on. But this episode goes much deeper than sports. David opens up about walking through the devastating loss of his father to suicide while in college, the long road of grief that followed, and what it looks like to keep moving forward when life changes forever.

This conversation is about resilience, faith, leadership, family, and the power of simply showing up for people in their darkest moments. It is a powerful reminder that pain may change you, but it does not have to define you.

In this episode, we cover:

• Overcoming a major injury and shifting goals
• Lessons learned as an LSU basketball walk on
• Losing a parent to suicide and processing grief
• The importance of faith and community in hard seasons
• Leadership, service, and building a meaningful life

This is a deep one. If you have ever walked through loss, carried pain, or needed the reminder to keep going, this episode is for you.
