Hello what's going on? This is David Draiman from Disturbed. You are watching a cable out loud. It's Wikipedia

fiction

or

fact

time with Disturb and gadgets. David Draven. Thank you very much for my pleasure. You have really been like one of the people who has helped us and Followed us since we launched this site, so I want to thank you for your super grateful little welcome and maybe we will help you by clarifying some data from Kapadia pages, sir Wikipedia pages, like this Let's see what's right and what's wrong, okay, okay. So it says that you were born only with your event, yes, great, on March 13, 1973 in Brooklyn, New York, to Miriam and Yehuda.

Yehuda Hood Draven. Okay, he says your father is a mechanical engineer. No, your father is not a mechanical engineer. Well, there is quite a bit. Awesome resume here, that's true, it also said healthcare administrator, okay, he was small, small business owner, true, and he's completing a PhD in energy conservation, that's news to me, okay, and he is also a candidate for mayor of Los Angeles or the 2017 elections, yes. everyone tries to do crazy things from time to time, okay, I love them. God bless you. I think it's crazy, but I really think he has a good chance, but still, as you know, I think he has a good criminal record, so to speak, you know, growing up with a father who is very. ambitious and also very accomplished and very different with many ways is that kind of inspiration for you to have a big impact in your own way that's a little bit sticky because yeah, oh let's see, let me try to find the basic way to put On the carpet of success , my father was swept under when I was 12 and he went to prison.

Oh, that wasn't in Wikipedia land and that's fine, I mean, he got caught up in a situation with some of his business

part

ners. he did a lot of shady things and left it in his lap, some mail fraud and some insurance fraud, so yeah, coming back from that was a very difficult thing for the family and we struggled for many years, so unlike that, Don Don't get me wrong when I was a child and watched my father succeed at certain things he did. He had this company called electro video marketing. He was one of the guys who started one of the first chains of video tape rental stores in Chicago called doc.

Edison's video back in the day is reminiscent of when there were VCRs and video tapes, so yes, that kind of thing in his drive to succeed was certainly inspiring, but it's not like he had this tremendous success to look back on and it was something to I also know how to shape my life afterwards, so it's not entirely accurate. Okay, do you mind if I ask you how long it was for two and a half years? Wow, that's a pretty significant period of time during your training, yes, it says during your first year. at a Wisconsin Torah Institute studio mm-hmm they asked you to leave mm-hmm that's true really why well the last straw was they found a copy of GQ under my pillow, not Playboy and now God You know what GQ was, the school was so strict that even a newspaper that had a lingerie ad wouldn't let us have it, so anything that had scantily clad women or talked about sexual themes or anything like that, you couldn't.

I haven't, but that's not the real reason they kicked me out or asked me not to come back, that was just the reason they attributed it to, the only one that could have turned out well, a bunch of other things that were a lot more serious than that. Well, I mean it all depends on how you look at it, but I guess throwing a child out of a second story window probably isn't very good or setting fire to and blowing up the rabbi's van probably isn't so good. either one isn't on the wiki page, which I'm really glad about, but yeah, they asked me to leave because I was a little unruly, yeah, the second story window, well, it hit the glass, yeah, it did and In

fact

, we narrowly avoided a family lawsuit.

The thing is, I was in the weight room and training and he was a senior. I was a freshman and I was lifting more than him and he wasn't happy about it and he threw a 25 pound plate at me oh boy okay and that's what hit me in the chest and knocked the wind out of me and I got up and he turned his back on me and I ran over him and I pushed him out the window, oh. No, don't turn your back on me after you hit me, no, my God, yeah, he broke some things, yeah, okay, so there you go, that's why it's not the GQ, it's not really that you keep it, He says that when you were. 16 that you were a girlfriend at that time you drank her all night unfortunately true that's over I'm sorry about that and that's what inside the fires are in your mouth yes and when you're so young I mean I couldn't imagine being able to even understand what that would be a lot of therapy later, absolutely sure it's not easy, you blame yourself for things like that, you judge yourself and it wasn't an easy thing.

I went through a very, very dark period of my life at that time. The point is that at that point in my life I was already a worried addict, yes, she probably still has a little money, money, money, not that much, no, well, a long time ago she was the one who started me on this and after he left this world. As if from an overdose of that same thing I went into a horrible downward spiral for several years, it was actually on my 18th birthday when, well, I didn't tell Bertha, but in my 18th year of life on this earth, I was the new Year Eve. that I woke up on New Year's Day I woke up under a 72 Cutlass in Belmont and Sheffield in Chicago I will never forget dying frozen just my genes no, no shirt, no shoes, no wallet, you know, not knowing what the hell happened I told myself how I got there there, I woke up cold and luckily I had a friend who lived a block and a half away, he tripped, knocked on the door and collapsed for three days, my parents called the police and everyone was looking for me and that was my moment of clarity that maybe it was the bottom, I thought about the lowest I had gotten and that's when I spent the next three months being very sick and my parents didn't realize that illness was actually withdrawal, yeah, and I haven't touched it since then. says you graduated from university with a bachelor's degree in political science and government philosophy and business administration well, not government philosophy just philosophy yes, government calls my philosophy okay, so he initially said that you considered accepting offers to enroll and study at Law school.

You realize that even though criminal defense law was the only area of ​​law that interested you at the time, you couldn't look in the mirror and say you're going to lie to make a living and protect criminals. Right, that's all true. Well, I actually got into six or seven different law schools. I had already taken my LSAT. I was ready to start. It's okay, I just couldn't do it. Wow, that's some serious dedication to taking the LSAT and I like a lot of things. Yeah, well, you know. I had prepared my entire university education, you know, my entire university education was pre-law, you know, I mean essentially and, coming from years and years and years of Talmudic study of Jewish law, I was already kind of used to it, so which was just an aptitude. mine, you know, but guys like you just said he couldn't agree to defend people he knew were guilty.

Was this at all from seeing maybe other students you were with or other people who were already in that field? of practicing law, yes, and then being very unscrupulous about it and having very little morals and almost no ethics, and... you know, maybe it's a weakness, maybe it has flaws as a result of it, maybe it's not as strong as anyone else for that or maybe I am stronger because for me honor, principles, dignity and truth are significant. I give a and some people use it as a business card. I really try to live that way, yeah, so I just need to be able to. wake up every morning able to live with myself, yes as long as I am at peace and haven't done or said anything that I feel I need to hide then I have nothing to hide, yes I believe choosing the truth and being true to yourself over the money and power, I don't think that's weak and anyway, before I bothered you, I was saying that you ran your own healthcare center mm-hmm really for the three of you, okay, what kind of healthcare, the first one It was a long one - a long-term care facility like a nursing home on a hill where I was actually the assistant administrator for us, where I learned the best, it was interesting because since I had decided not to go into law, a colleague of mine told me informed about the vacancy there. it was for an administrative position admitted as an assistant and this facility and I had always gravitated a little bit towards that world, to some extent, because my family had already had a history in it, as you read about my father, so I guess you know all about it . what you really needed was to have a bachelor's degree, and some business, a business degree, to at least get your foot in the door, okay, I went, I interviewed 4,050 applicants.

I got it, learned the business from scratch, started in maintenance and learned each and every aspect. aspect of this early and then a year later I got my administrator's license and moved to my own facility called Rehab Ambassador Nursing in Lawrence and Chicago and I was there for a couple of years and they ended up laying me off because at the time where he was, quote, embezzling money to keep the machine disrupted, what was it? He was using his FedEx account and his office stamp machine to post the disturbance mailing list and send promotional packages to record labels, etc. and so on because the band couldn't afford it, you know, and the truth is that I was already making them three million dollars a year in profit and they weren't giving me any bonuses.

I like it, okay? I'm going to use your office account to move forward and try to pursue what I really want to do for a living and what my life's passion is. They ended up letting me go, but it's okay because a month later because I had been doing so well at the facility and doing such a good job for them, it's like they were. I'm not going to beat a dead horse on that one, but I still ended up moving to a 365-bed skilled nursing facility in Niles, Illinois, which was incredibly rated. I mean they had a sub-acute wing, a block unit and I mean we saw patients directly after the operation.

I mean it was a very high level of skill so it was the most challenging and I was only there for a few months because that's when we came to our agreement, I understand you, what are you mailing something from that new facility? No, I didn't need it, I didn't need it anymore. Okay, it worked for you and yes, there is no multi-million dollar lawsuit. There are a couple of stamps.
