After losing his best friend in 9/11, David Sylvester set out to heal and help others through something so simple - a hug. David decided to use his experiences over the last few years to travel to all 50 states and 42 countries spreading love, kindness, and connection through his story. He has done this in a variety of ways including biking through Africa and driving a car around the U.S. In this episode we will talk with Dave about his experience through loss, his various hug and high 5 tours, and how he continues to handle his loss today. Dave is a published author, speaker, and international hugger! You can read more about him and his work at davidhalesylvester.com or connect with him on instagram at @thehumanhigh5.
