Jane, this is a special one for me as David was one of my first connections on Substack and we had a good conversation about different histories with similar values and beliefs. He is 3 days younger or older than my daughter, I forget which. They had the privileges of good educations and both of them are in the recently retired generation carving out new careers. David is becoming the writer he is imagining, my daughter got her Master's degree in Health & Wellness two years ago. I am the happy grandfather, watching with interest and love, blessed by seeing what they are doing with their lives and the influence they have on those close to them. I'm delighted with their philanthropic mind sets that enabled them to contribute to those causes they deem worthwhile. My hunch is we will see a book coming from the Roberts' house in the next year or so, but, as you know, predictions are difficult, especially about the future. Thanks for this interview The video of David the Dancer started my day with a good laugh and nothing beats the endorphins.
Oh, that's a wonderful, Gary! I'm not surprised the two of you bonded! And, yes, I felt the same thing about the book! It's coming!! Glad you enjoyed the interview!
That dance video mash up from The Office and you at your daughter’s wedding is EVERYTHING!!! 😂 Pretty well says it all right there about you and your close bond with your family. ❤️
I thoroughly enjoyed this! Great questions and it so nice to get to know David more. I appreciated his comments and support when I first started on Substack!
I deeply enjoyed this interview! At first I thought - I have nothing in common with this man, I do not read literature that taxes me intellectually. Then, I found he was a real, thoughtful, entertaining person and I loved the interview and the dog 😀
David! Thank you for sharing your wonderful dance video. You were inspired, and your kids are brilliant: one with the video vision and another matching your dance moves. Adorable family moment.
As for writing a book, is that an inner fire or ego talking? Hmm. 🤔 I wouldn’t be too quick to brush it off. You have much to say about our world.
That dancing is world class! Enjoyed the interview. Some good recommendations for reading!
I love the dancing!! Puts a big smile on my face! And, yes, lots of good books. Glad you enjoyed it, Kirsty!!

I agree! Glad you enjoyed it, Kim! ❤️
A really uplifting interview, and David is a fascinating person with great insights and awareness (I also love his dance moves and reading choices).
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Ann! And, yes, wonderful dance moves!!
Wonderful to see another side of David. And photos too!
I agree! And I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I agree! The photos (and video!) were great!

Very enjoyable, Jane!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Tara! And I agree, David needs to write the book! Inner Fire!
So many gems, here but nothing more adorable than Sophie perched in Central Park.
Also “Dad Dancing” is absolutely hilarious.
Sophie is the cutest!! And, yes, nothing like Dad Dancing! Glad you enjoyed it, Rachel!
Very enjoyable post, thank you David and Jane!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Sue!!
I love everything David writes and, Jane, you know I love everything you do, so this was an absolute treat!
Humble brag here: I count myself among the lucky few who have actually seen a video of David dancing (at his daughter's wedding).
Oh, yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it, Jillian! Not a humble brag, at all! (although, did you see there's a video of it in this post?)
Is there? I only saw the one from the Office.
That's it! It goes back and forth between Steve Carell and David!
Ah, I need to watch the whole thing!
Thanks for a fascinating peek into a gem of a writer. Sprezzatura is my new ethos!
So glad you enjoyed it, Julie! And I love that word, too!
