David finally quit his job after 10 months and after a brief hiatus in Brazil, David created an online marketing agency in NYC with $5k in the bank which grew to over $100k in monthly revenue. David's latest venture is 15Five, an engagement tool to help facilitate better transparency and communication between managers and employees.
