Welcome to another transformative episode of “The Winners Paradigm,” where stories of personal development and self-mastery take center stage. I’m your host, Alundas Havens, and today we’re diving deep into the journey of alignment with one’s best self with none other than David Clickstein, a barber shop owner with an incredible story of sobriety and self-improvement. David hasn’t let 10 years free from opioids define him; instead, he’s redefined what it means to live fully aligned with your true self despite adversity.
Together, we’ll explore the fundamental truths of combating anxiety and depression through staying present, embracing structured routines, and cultivating gratitude. Both David and I will share our personal battles with our pasts, from my dance with a tough crowd to David’s struggle with his inner conscience while under the shadow of medication and pain. We open up about the importance of intentional parenting, teaching our kids the values of consistency and hard work, and the tough yet respectful ways we choose to raise them.
This episode is a heartfelt discussion on staying focused on your daily goals, fully embracing moments with your family, and the inevitable loneliness that often accompanies personal growth.
Get ready to be inspired to listen to your inner voice, align yourself with your best energy, and say goodbye to the negative cycles of the past. This is “The Winners Paradigm,” and it’s time to elevate your mindset. Let’s get started.

Impact of Misdiagnosis: “So about a year in a little more than a year ago, I had been suffering for about 2 years with, in back pain and hip pain. And they kept treating my back, and they were giving me, prednisone and cortisone shots, and then they were giving me these non narcotic, nerve blockers. And next thing I know, it’s got me on 10 a fucking day, dude. And I’m like, in 10 a day? I don’t give a fuck what you’re taking. You’re different. Yeah. So, they ended up figuring out that it wasn’t my back.”— David Clickstein [00:01:04 → 00:01:34]
