In this episode of Vision with Execution, I had the privilege of speaking with David McKee—a multifaceted coach who blends business, psychology, and spirituality into a refreshingly human-centered approach. Right off the bat, I could tell this wasn’t going to be a typical coaching interview.

David shared that he started in the music industry, driven by a deep personal connection with his mother, who had taught him music before she passed away. After avoiding music for years due to the emotional weight, he came back to it through therapy—and now he uses it as a healing and creative force, helping underappreciated artists find their voice.

But what struck me most wasn’t just his music background or even the fact that he’s consulted for names like Atlantic and Universal Records. It was how methodically he approaches growth. David journals every single night. And not in some fluffy, self-help way—he literally asks himself, “What did I do today to move toward where I want to be in 10 years?” That daily accountability practice is what helps him stay focused and honest, even when things go sideways.

I resonated deeply with his focus on self-love, especially since we both opened up about our struggles. I shared how my own journey to self-love began after a family crisis that forced me to confront addiction, and how that moment became a turning point in how I saw myself. David affirmed that true love—whether romantic or for others—can only grow from authenticity. And as he put it, authenticity is even more powerful than love.

He also emphasized the “who, not how” approach—that great progress comes not from doing everything yourself, but from aligning with the right people. He’s got a coach, and recommends every entrepreneur or high performer get one too.

Before we wrapped, David gave a preview of his upcoming book, Navigate the Noise, which dives into the psychological damage of social media and how to master mindset in the age of constant digital distraction. It’s aimed at readers from 7th grade to adulthood—because as David said, it’s never too early (or too late) to learn how powerful our thoughts really are.

It was a raw, honest, and energizing episode. I left this conversation more convinced than ever that vision with execution is reality. David’s Site
