In this episode of The Men of the House Podcast, we welcome Dave Letterfly—an artist, performer, and storyteller with one of the most unique life journeys you’ll ever hear. From his teenage years in the circus to mastering the art of Haute École horse training, Dave’s path was as colorful as it was challenging. But behind the dazzling performances and award-winning dancing horses, he faced a hidden battle with alcoholism that nearly cost him everything.

Through recovery, Dave reinvented his life, becoming one of the most prolific motorhome muralists in the RV industry and embracing a creative, wandering lifestyle that now takes him across Harley-Davidson dealerships east of the Mississippi. Along the way, he’s authored five books and continues to inspire others with his message that challenges are simply opportunities for growth.

Join us as Dave shares his extraordinary story of resilience, artistry, and transformation—proof that no matter how dark life gets, there is always a way forward.

👉 Don’t miss this powerful conversation about overcoming addiction, embracing creativity, and finding purpose in the most unexpected places.
