We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. David Silverman and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. David, how has your work-life balance changed over time?

First, I am one of those people who are what I call “psychologically unemployable.” I cringe at the thought of having a boss. Having someone else controlling me and my freedom and life-balance. So, after getting a degree in biology at the University of Maryland, I decided to become a doctor. That was four more years in school, in Chicago. I then did a year of post-graduate surgical training and finally became a board-certified foot surgeon and owned my own practice and ambulatory surgical center. I was so happy to be doing what I loved, but to also be in control of my own destiny. However, after a few years of practice, though I loved what I did, I found myself on a “work treadmill.” And having 3 growing children who were all going to go to college, I had to stay on that treadmill and found myself falling way out of balance. Life was feeling a little like the move “Groundhog Day.” That was what led me to thinking outside the box to find ways to create significant passive income streams that would give me more time freedom to enjoy life and spend more time with the people I loved. It was what ended up leading me to the unique wellness company, ASEA.

The lifestyle contrast between my medical practice life and what started as our side-hustle/side-joy ASEA home-based, residual-income-generating wellness business is immeasurable. With our ASEA business, both Wendy and I get to BOTH impact people’s health and happiness, all over the world. Unlike my medical practice, I have no risk. I have no employees. I have no traditional business ‘headaches.’ But, now, with our weekly ASEA residual income stream, my wife and I have complete time freedom. We bought a second home in Delray Beach, Florida. We travel the world. We are completely liberated and we help people liberate themselves.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

My ASEA business is simply an international reach (33 countries, currently) home-based, business. I am an independent contractor for ASEA, a cellular health company that developed a remarkable health technology called “redox signaling molecules.” The technology is unique in the world of wellness because redox signaling molecules already exist in all of us, but we produce less and less of them as we age. Thus, as the years go by, we clearly SEE (& FEEL) the signs of aging. The product (see www.YourYoungerYou.com) is produced in an FDA-registered and audited facility. It is a stunning breakthrough for humanity, as it addresses aging and issues at the cellular level. With a sense of responsibility and obligation to mankind, when the company refused a buyout offer from a large pharmaceutical company (for the technology, the patents and the intellectual property), for fear that it would be buried and hidden away from the world, they decided to bring it to the world via the “ripple-effect” that is “word-of-mouth” marketing. So instead of spending enormous amounts of money on advertising and spokespeople, they take that large portion of yearly revenue (38.5%) and give it to the people doing good. To the people sharing the gift. To the people paying it forward. And they would give a lot of money to those who create large ripples.

So, what do I do? Four things, actually:
1. I make people aware of the breakthrough.
2. I make people aware of how to best use it and give them proper timeline benefit expectations.
3. I make people aware of the pay-it-forward, residual-income, Plan B home-based business opportunity.
4. I help people who want to create their own ripple-effect of good ASEA business to do just that.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?

Wendy and I split our time between Delray Beach, Florida in the winters and in a suburb just outside of Washington, DC, in the summers. If you came to visit us in Florida, we’d be golfing, playing tennis, going to the beach, eating stone crabs and lots of great food and listening to live music on Atlantic Avenue. Could definitely take a couple day trip to South Beach or to Key West. We’d just have fun eating and drinking and playing! If you came to visit us in the summers in Maryland, we’d tour the DC monuments and museums, we’d eat all that same good food (except the crabs would be Maryland blue crabs instead of stone crabs) and we’d certainly go to the Ocean City, Maryland to play!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?

My all time #1 favorite movie is “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Most people know and love this movie that usually plays on TV every year around Christmas. In it, the main character is a truly good and selfless man, George Bailey. George is going through a very bad and scary time and is about to kill himself. He ends up being saved by his ‘guardian angel,’ Clarence. But he tells Clarence that the world would be better off if had never even been born. Clarance grants him that wish… to see what the world would be like if George had never been born. George then sees how, without him, the lives of so many people were so much worse… and some were even dead because he was not there to save them. But the most powerful part of it was the fact that without George in the world impacting the lives of the people he knew and loved, there was no “ripple effect of good” that THOSE people would have been able to create with the people THEY knew and loved. The point being that we can all have a much bigger an impact on the world than we perhaps see. And people who do good (versus bad) can leave (and live) a beautiful legacy.

So, I’d like to thank MY guardian angel, Debbie Wetzler. For without Debbie calling me to tell me about ASEA back in December 2010, several things would not have happened:

I wouldn’t have known about ASEA REDOX for my ill father.
I wouldn’t have come to know that ASEA REDOX is the enormous and elegant health-science breakthrough and a gift for humanity.
I wouldn’t have helped many people I care about and THOSE people could have not helped the people THEY know and love.
Without Debbie, there would have been no global “ripple effect” through me.

So, a shout out to my dear friend, Debbie Wetzler for urging me to properly investigate and evaluate this gift… so that I could pay it forward.
