The #1 Reason Teams Fall Apart (and How to Prevent It)

This week, I’m talking about one of the biggest factors that determines whether teams, marriages, families, and friendships stay strong or quietly fall apart: how we see each other. Most relationships don’t break because someone did something terrible. They break because of misperceptions, unfair assumptions, and the slow erosion of unity. When we magnify each other’s flaws, assign motives that aren’t there, or expect others to live without the imperfections we allow in ourselves, everything ...

A Short Lesson on Leisure (That Most People Never Learn)

This week’s episode is intentionally brief — a quick message I recorded while walking on the beach. It felt like the perfect setting to talk about something most people get wrong: leisure. Not vacation. Not burnout recovery. Leisure — the kind that actually recreates you. In this short reflection, I explain why God built rhythm into creation, how real leisure works, and why you can’t truly rest if every “break” is just another form of productivity or distraction. If you struggle to slow...

How Gratitude Shapes Everything

In this mini Thanksgiving episode, I take a deeper look at gratitude — not as a mood or a feeling, but as a virtue that shapes your entire life. Most people wait to “feel grateful” before they practice gratitude. But that’s backward. Gratitude is a choice, a discipline, and one of the most reliable ways to build joy, resilience, and long-term success. I break down how gratitude interacts with the cardinal virtues, why entitlement destroys happiness, and how simple, deliberate acts of gratitud...

Why No One Listens to You (and How to Fix It)

In this episode of Durand on Demand, Dave breaks down one of the most overlooked leadership skills: credibility.

Whether you’re leading a team, building a marriage, or trying to close a sale, credibility determines whether people listen, follow, or tune you out. In this conversation, Dave reveals: ✅ Why people stop listening (and don’t even realize it) ✅ The four habits that make som...

4 Subtle Habits That Destroy Relationships

The Power of a Decision

In this episode of Durand on Demand, Dave unpacks the most powerful force in the world: decision. Every part of life flows from the choices we make — but it’s not just the primary decisions (to take a job, get married, or start something) that matter. It’s the secondary decisions and recommitments that determine whether we thrive or fail. Recorded live, Dave illustrates this through the story of King David — a leader who chose comfort over adventure and fell into folly — and shows how the sam...

In this episode of Durand on Demand, Dave explains why one personality trait consistently outpaces talent, intellect, and even charisma as the leading indicator of long-term success: conscientiousness.

Maximizing Your Potential Starts with Personality

In this episode of Durand on Demand, Dave challenges the way we think about potential. At first, being told you have potential feels like a compliment. But at some point, it becomes an insult — because potential is just unused ability. The real question is: what are you doing with it? Dave explains how to move from promise to performance through the discipline of personality optimization. Using the Big Five framework, he breaks down the first trait — Openness to Experience — and shows how bot...
