Dave Grimaldi didn’t grow through the ranks in direct selling–he came from the other side.
From Capitol Hill to the FCC to leading government affairs for tech and crypto giants, Dave has spent decades in the rooms where reputations are shaped and policies are made. Now, as CEO of the Direct Selling Association, he’s working to reshape the conversation about the Direct Sales profession in the halls of power.
In this episode of The Authentic Networker Podcast, Richard Bliss Brooke dives deep with Dave on:
-
What he really noticed when he entered the direct selling world
-
How companies lose control of their narrative in D.C.
-
How the DSA is building relationships and protecting the future of the profession
-
And what’s at stake if we don’t start telling our story—authentically and effectively
This isn’t just a conversation about policy. It’s a challenge to step into intentional advocacy, leadership, and long-game vision.
