Side Quests & Second Chances - David Camarena on Redefining Success
Manage episode 509976167 series 3692067
David Camarena’s career path has been anything but straight. After nearly ten years as a therapist, he hit burnout and made the bold decision to step away — not toward another office job, but into the uncertain world of content creation and music.
Today, he’s a thriving YouTuber @TodayIGrewUp, podcaster, and musician with millions of views and a loyal community.
In this episode of Path Found, David opens up about:
- Why he walked away from a “safe” career in mental health.
- How side passions like music and toy collecting became his new full-time path.
- The difference between chasing money and chasing meaning.
- What it really takes to responsibly take risks on your dreams.
This is a story of reinvention, resilience, and redefining what success means.
