David Karpel is a writer, poet, and teacher as well as a father to two incredible young adults also pursuing creative lives.

In this podcast, we talk about his journey from a frustrated, daydreaming child who never realized he could write to an unexpected moment in his high school year that changed everything. David explains how a series of events catapulted him to pursuing an MFA in writing before losing his confidence and dropping out, and how he reclaimed his belief in himself as a poet.

His outlook on teaching and parenting matches up with his poetic attention, as he strives to take everyone to the next level of their capabilities.

We dedicate this podcast to David's dear friend, Jay, who recently passed away, may his soul experience an elevation.
