Listen To What Heroes Marketing Consultant David Frey Says When He Answers the Heroes Question "Who are the HEROES in your life now?"
David Frey: The first hero is my wife because she is just awesome. Her name is Ingrid and I really do respect her and look up to her for a number of reasons. Number one, she loves the Lord just as much or more than I do. She really has her priorities in order.
She cares about other people. Most of the money she gets she spends doing things for other people. She is a wonderful mother, she dedicates so much time of her life to her children and sometimes it is not easy. Being a parent is not easy and she does a magnificent job of working with our children.
She is also a marathon runner so she gets up at four o’clock in the morning and goes running until six o’clock in the morning every single morning. She does it that early so it doesn’t disrupt any part of her families’ day, getting the children off to school and having me get off to the office so she will go run very very early in the morning when we are all sleeping.
She keeps herself so physically fit, she is so attractive. She is just a wonderful woman and everybody that knows her just loves her. She does not have an enemy in the world.
I have two men in my life who I have felt are also heroes of mine. They probably don’t know but they are real mentors to me. One of them is Rick Qwuavous, he lives here in Houston and Mark Anderson, and he lives up in Provo, Utah.
Both of these men I have admired since I have known them. I have watched them from afar and the reason I admire them so much is because they have attributes that I want to have.
One of their attributes is that I have never heard them say an unkind thing about a person. The number two attribute is that they don’t get all emotional about things meaning they don’t fly off the handle and I have never heard them raise their voice for anything.
They are just your mild mannered soft voiced men. Number three, they are humble. They would never call attention to themselves for any reason. In fact they are always praising other people.
These two men are very accomplished men. They have always been kind and understanding of me. I can remember one experience with Rick Qwauvous where I was asked to help him work with some youth.
I made a commitment to him and it turns out that I had to go out of town and I felt so guilty for that I had to call him up and say “Rick I am so sorry. I know I committed to this thing but I just can not make it” and he had the most loving response to me.
He didn’t hem or haw or anything he just said “David that’s okay, you just go do whatever you need to do, take care of your business and I will make sure that everything is taken care of back here.”
It made me cry. These two guys are just giants in my life and the world doesn’t know who they are. They are not famous in their local community. They are not celebrities, just two humbled mild mannered men and in my opinion in the next life they are going to be celebrities, those guys are going to be superstars.
There is another man named Tom Spinks, he is the business partner of mine, just a wonderful man, very mild mannered. He always makes sure he gets the bad end of the deal.
He is extremely successful and very wealthy. I say “Why don’t you go do this or this with your money?” And he says “Dave, I make enough money.” He lives right next to his grown children and they have breakfast every morning.
Most kids don’t want to live near to their parents but these children want to be next to this man. He is so wonderful. So those are some of the heroes in my life.
