What does it mean to be growth ready?

For David Hiler, it means one thing: adaptability.

In this episode, David shares the story behind the word—losing his leg to cancer, recovering during COVID while trying to keep multiple hospitality businesses afloat, and eventually making a decision many people only dream about: letting go of the “bigger, more, next” life and building something simpler, freer, and more honest.

You’ll hear how David thinks about success now, why journaling became his anchor, how he protects his life from slipping back into old patterns, and the question that keeps him grounded: What am I here for?

About the Guest:
David Hiler is a former hospitality operator who built and ran multiple businesses, including a restaurant and brewery, before stepping into a new chapter after losing his leg to cancer.

Today, David works as a consultant for bed & breakfasts and country inns, while traveling full-time with his wife in an RV—building a life around movement, simplicity, and the places that make them feel most alive.

He’s also an advocate for accessible mobility through So Everybody Can Move, supporting efforts to improve insurance coverage for prosthetic options that help amputees live fully (including water legs, running blades, and sport-specific prosthetics).
