What if the very parts of your story you try to hide are the same parts that qualify you to lead?
In this powerful episode of The School of Influence, Devin Schubert sits down with Dr. Davis McAlister, a former homeless teen who went on to serve in U.S. military intelligence, become a doctor, author, and nationally recognized leadership coach. Dr. Davis shares how sleeping under stadium bleachers shaped the resilience, discipline, and identity that later defined his leadership.
This conversation dives deep into identity, influence, and leading without leverage. You’ll hear how military interrogation principles translate into modern leadership, why relationship matters more than position, and how past pain can become a strategic advantage instead of a liability.
If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, questioned your calling, or felt disqualified by your past, this episode will reset your perspective. Leadership is not about titles or platforms. It’s about character, clarity, and courage forged through experience.
Your story is not a weakness. It is a responsibility.
