It’s not often that you get the chance to sit down and chat with an absolute legend, but I got the chance to do just that in today’s episode. Dave Combs had a successful career at a Fortune 500 company when he finally transcribed a melody he’d had in his head for a while. That song eventually became the hit Rachel’s Song, which paved the way for Combs to leave his first career and follow his heart and talent into the music industry. In today’s conversation, we talk about music, lessons learned along the way, humility, and much more.

ABOUT THE HOST
The ‘Mighty Pete Lonton’ from the ‘Mighty 247’ company is your main host of ‘Fire in The Belly’.
Pete is an entrepreneur, mentor, coach, property Investor, and father of three beautiful girls. Pete’s background is in project management and property, but his true passion is the ‘Fire in The Belly’ project itself. His mission is to help others find their potential and become the mightiest version of themselves. Pete openly talks about losing both of his parents, suffering periods of depression, business downturn and burn-out, and ultimately his years spent not stoking ‘Fire in the Belly’. In 2017, at 37 years of age that changed, and he is now on a journey of learning, growing, accepting, and inspiring others.
Pete can connect with people and intuitively asks questions to reveal a person’s passion and discover how to live their mightiest life. The true power of ‘Fire in The Belly’ is the Q&A’s - Questions and Actions section.
The ‘Fire in The Belly’ brand and the programme is rapidly expanding into podcasts, seminars, talks, business workshops, development courses, and rapid results mentoring.
