How I Discovered My Gift with David D. Simons – Part 2 with Tommie Traffic

Welcome back to another episode of How I Discovered My Gift with yours truly, David D. Simons! And listen, we rarely ever do a part two—but when someone drops as much sauce, as much value, and as much power as today’s guest, we had to keep the conversation going.

Tommie Traffic, aka Tommie Powers, is back, and this time, we’re diving deeper. In part one, we left off talking about his incredible support system and his journey through heart failure. But today, we go into the transformation—how he turned one of the darkest moments of his life into the fuel that propelled him to massive success.

He keeps it all the way real: “Man, that was demoralizing, bro. That’ll make you really question.” But then came the shift. The moment he decided, the story my kids are gonna tell is that their dad went out swinging.

From barely making it to cracking the code on affiliate marketing… from hitting 300K a year to losing it all and going bankrupt… and then rebuilding as one of the top media buyers in the game, spending over nine figures in ads—Tommie shares it all.

This episode is straight-up gems:
💡 The mindset shift that changed everything
💡 The importance of pattern recognition in business
💡 The biggest mistake people make when running ads
💡 Why listening to your audience is the key to scaling

And for the agency owners out there? Tommie drops knowledge on when to work with a client and when to walk away.
