Our guest David Pasqualone is the host of an amazing podcast show called the Remarkable People. He too has the same vision as the Voice of Many Podcast. Touching and changing lives through the voice of everyday people.
Born to a poor unwed mother in the late 1970’s, abandoned by his wealthy father at birth, raised in a dilapidated house with 6’ high ceilings that leaked when it rained, scarred from watching his grandmother suffer and slowly and painfully die from cancer, in fear for his life from insane family members convicted of murdering his great aunt that threatened him too, and the victim of other constant childhood abuses, David Pasqualone started life confused, scared, and feeling alone.
As an only child growing up in New England, David was raised by a mother who struggled with depression and other undiagnosed and untreated emotional and mental issues. He was regularly told by those around him that he was lazy, undisciplined, and useless. Constantly ill, doctors labeled him as a hypochondriac as he got sicker and sicker over the years. Sent to psychologists and told he was a waste of life constantly, Once he turned 18, he demanded medical tests two weeks before his high school graduation to find out he had a tumor in his head the size of an orange that was slowly killing him. After two major surgeries and radiation therapy, David was dying at 19 years old. Even though doctors gave him little hope of survival,
The story continues with this young man, who thought he was a step above Forrest Gump and a functional idiot, finishing college, getting married, thriving in business, and raising a beautiful family. Only to get critically ill again and suffer for 5 years in intense pain after a simple dental visit goes horribly wrong. Told by multiple physicians to get his affairs in order and prepare for death, David refused to accept this path. Becoming his own medical advisor, David did basically everything opposite of what the doctors told him. He did his best in life each day to heal, but learned to trust God for the results. This phase of his journey brought him into wellness and strength. He got off all of the antidepressants and painkillers the doctors tried to medicate his symptoms with, and once again began to thrive physically.
David’s life has been full of intense challenges in every area (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, familial, relational, social, and financial), he has learned that despite our circumstances and personal perspective, God is there for us, loves us, has a bigger plan than we can imagine, and if we don’t quit and stay steadfast on our course, we’ll always win and benefit from even the most hideous experiences and hardships.
Each day David’s mission is to help people find their purpose, live it passionately, and fulfill it steadfastly until their race is over. And with God, none of us can fail!
