David Carroll | Chasing Equanimity | Mission Control Podcast
Monday, 27 April, 2026
In this episode of the Mission Control podcast, Mike sits down with David Carroll, founder of DOPE Marketing, to discuss the mental evolution of an entrepreneur. David reflects on his recent trip to Chicago and shares insights on the importance of self-awareness, giving oneself credit for personal growth, and shifting away from a "grinder" mentality toward a more balanced life. The conversation touches on maintaining "equanimity" during business challenges and why leaders should focus on mental fortitude and the original "why" behind their ventures. Ultimately, David highlights that true success is the freedom to prioritize personal values, such as spending time with family, over constant productivity Interested in learning more about Roofr?
