David Henzel

Hi, I'm David.

I'm an entrepreneur and I love building things — companies, systems, frameworks. I've built 10 ventures over 20+ years, but my biggest passion is helping people make more decisions out of love than fear. That's what Love Not Fear is all about.

The operating system

"Every decision in life, you make out of love or out of fear."

Love Not Fear is the operating system I've built for living and leading with purpose. It's a four-pillar system — find your purpose, define your values, craft your vision, build your habits — designed to help people make better decisions and live a better life.

We help students figure out what to study and what to do with their lives. We help entrepreneurs get clear on what they actually want — so they stop building on autopilot and start building what matters.
