David William Carson&apos;s heart lives among the tall trees and endless oceans. This environmental scientist, entrepreneur and artist was raised in the forests of upstate New York. He earned a Master&apos;s degree in Environment and Resource Management in Amsterdam after pivoting from a rocky career in tech and finance. Now 31, David  recently started his dream job as executive director of the <a href='https://friendsofrogers.org'>Rogers Center</a>, a 600-acre nature sanctuary and environmental education facility in upstate New York whose historic lands have been cherished by four generations of his family. David is elated to be living and working close to family, back in his hometown as a steward of the forest he grew up in.  Learn more at www.friendsofrogers.org Share your Swan Dive at www.swandive.us

Now in its 56th year, with over 100 episodes, Swan Dive features inspiring people who had the clarity and courage to pivot in life to chase their dreams. Hosts and life-long friends, Ron Rothberg and Stu Sheldon, both made massive swan dives from successful careers in media and finance to the unknowns of content creation and fine art. Through failures and successes, both eventually found the soul satisfaction of becoming "who they wanted to be when they grew up." Their joyous insight graces each conversation with guests that include: legendary musical artists, National Geographic photographers, social justice warriors, clergy, journalists ... even Africa's first black, female brain surgeon. Each guest opens up about their unique emotional journey, their fear of the unknown, the grind of starting a new path and, hopefully, the world's embrace on the road to their most authentic selves. Vulnerability, laughter and inspiration abound. Hopefully, you'll find comfort and kinship in your own big pivot, whether you've made it yet or not.
