Can You Buy Happiness? (How Mega Wealth Affects Mental Health) The Legacy of Dave’s Killer Bread.

“I became a millionaire and then I had a mental breakdown, it was art that brought me back. Art was my saving grace.” Dave Dahl.

It’s true what they say, money doesn’t solve all your problems, it usually creates new ones. Dave Dahl wasn’t ready for the extreme success he attained after creating the Dave’s Killer Bread legacy.

Fast-forward eight years into the success of his family’s bakery. The multi-millionaire was suffering from stress.  Drinking had become a way for him to cope. It was all too much and caused him to have a mental breakdown in 2013.

But in life sometimes you need to break down to build yourself back up. That is what Dave Dahl has done. It was art that brought him back to a healthy and happy state of being and what helps him cope today.

During this interview, Dave Dahl details his passion for collecting ceremonial tribal art. Each piece unique and enriched with history. This has helped him through rough times.

So, can happiness be bought? Perhaps. If it comes in the form of art. Music. Or anything that resonates with your soul, and sparks joy. (In my case it’s a turkey sandwich on Dave’s Good Seed bread.) Money doesn’t equal happiness. Happiness comes from within.
