Episode 71: Under the Radar with David Eisenstadt
February 9, 2022
When opportunity knocks, are you ready to open the door? Opportunities rarely fall in our laps—we have to be looking for opportunities before we can seize them. The good news is life’s possibilities often show up when we take on new challenges that stretch us out of our default setting.
Today I’m joined by a guest who exemplifies what it means to make the most of change. At the age of 77, David Eisenstadt continues to work, create, and live the life he values most.
He traveled many paths from his early life in Western Canada to his life today, as he and his wife manage a thriving public relations firm. Under The Radar – 30 Notable Canadian Jewish Musicians is his first book, and in this episode, David tells us how the unexpected project began as a simple hobby.
We discussed:
- The role of fate in shaping your career path from its early beginnings
- How a conflict with his employer’s values led David to launch a PR firm
- Two meaningful life lessons his late father taught him about communicating
- Taking advantage of opportunities create richness and depth in our lives
- The unexpected hobby that has taken on an extra dimension to David’s life
