“With his support and guidance, Dave truly made me think like a leader by helping me believe in myself and by guiding me to strongly direct my focus, goals and voice. He helped me so much with my blog’s re-launch that I feel like I’m well on my way to becoming a leader in the fitness blogging world.”
Amy Clover | Fitness Coach, Trainer & Founder, Strong Inside Out
“One of the most well-written presentations that I’ve ever seen… a gift for communicating powerful ideas.”
David Rendall | Leadership Speaker and Author, The Freak Factory
“Dave is deeply attuned to the subtleties and soulfulness of what it means to lead. Fervent in his passion for living this life, this moment he also sees how each of us is connected to something bigger than ourselves. He will call you to be more of who you already are, invite you to engage with the world, and always leave you full with possibility. A visionary. A philosopher. A connector. Through his work and his life, Dave creates a gorgeous lens through which all of us can see the true meaning of leadership.”
Laura Calandrella | Social Change Consultant & Entrepreneur, LauraCalandrella.com
“Dave Ursillo is a rare professional who takes thought-leadership beyond theory and to action — he’s a master at distilling aspirational leadership concepts into tangible strategies. As a pioneer of alternative leadership among Millennials, Dave consistently inspires and mobilizes his clients to higher levels of success. His book is a treatise on both what modern leadership is and how to leverage personal development as a leader. I love the way he thinks, and I’m consistently inspired by his work.”

Carolyn Rubenstein:
“Dave is different (in a good way!) than a lot of bloggers I’ve had the pleasure of “meeting.” We’ve known each other online for awhile and through this time I’ve watched Dave truly evolve. He has become a compassionate and genuine leader—meaning he is wholeheartedly involved in the community online, communicating with vulnerability and presence; yet, at the same time, his message of leadership is woven throughout his work, through words he is able to powerfully connect with others—to gently turn on a light within you that sparks a ripple effect. His blog posts are mini theses. His dedication and love for the community that has gathered around him are etched in his actions. And so a bio will not suffice. I urge you to read his beautifully candid words.”

Dave Ursillo: writer, leader. Leader, writer. Dave is both, and each identity brilliantly informs the other. As a writer, Dave walks the talk. He’s prolific, consistent, and perhaps above all, dedicated. As a leader, he places a high value on community and power of peer support. I mean, anyone who publishes his mobile phone number on the internet with an invitation to call is into accessibility and connection.
Dave’s is an exceptional voice in the landscape of “change the world” businesses. He not only calls on you to create a better life for yourself, but he offers you the structure to do it.
“I get the chills reading your thoughts. Your leadership exudes from your body, and your ability to pinpoint each of the hidden assumptions that we all hold — and how to break through them — is spot on.”

“For the longest, I have been thinking about the theme of Lead Without Followers… Now that you’ve illustrated the meaning so clearly, it all makes so much sense.”
– Darius Grant | Digital Entrepreneur, DariusGrant.com
“Lead Without Followers is not only a revealing glimpse into the political landscape of America, but a solid look at the problem with leadership today: how our perception of so-called ‘leaders’ has corrupted the very nature of leadership in general, and in politics, specifically.”
– Lisa Robbin Young | Blogger & Founder, Business Action Hero
