When David Reggina talks about leadership, he’s not quoting clichés or throwing around buzzwords, he’s sharing what he lives every single day. As a current Deputy Commissioner in New York, Reggina oversees multimillion-dollar government initiatives and leads teams of up to 300 people. But for him, leadership isn’t confined to boardrooms or city halls. It’s a lifestyle, forged in discipline, built on self-awareness, and guided by intentional action.
And he’s on a mission to help others live it, too.
Reggina is also the powerhouse behind the No Snooze Podcast, produced by Claudio Valenzuela of Cayivisions Productions, which is a raw and unfiltered show that has organically risen into the top 10% globally on Spotify. Focused on helping people “stop snoozing on their lives,” the podcast speaks to high performers, entrepreneurs, and everyday individuals who want more — more clarity, more ownership, more momentum.
“We’ve seen tremendous traction from Florida, especially the South Florida market,” Reggina notes. “It’s clear the No Snooze mindset resonates with people who value ambition, discipline, and attacking life head-on.”
At the core of Reggina’s philosophy is a simple but powerful truth: you can’t lead others until you learn to lead yourself.
“Before anything else, you need self-control,” he says. “Your habits, your focus, your time, it all starts with you.”
For Reggina, self-mastery isn’t just a talking point; it’s a lived practice. Waking up early, prioritizing fitness, investing in personal growth, and holding himself to a high standard, even when no one’s watching, are non-negotiables. And for his coaching clients, ranging from C-suite executives to up-and-coming creators, that level of personal accountability becomes the expectation.
“Leadership starts before the title,” he emphasizes. “It starts with the standard you set when nobody’s watching.”
Authenticity is often overused and underdelivered in leadership conversations. But for Reggina, it’s a core tenet.
“If your life doesn’t align with your message, people won’t follow you,” he explains. “People may hear your words, but they follow your consistency.”
He challenges clients and listeners alike to ask a tough question: Does your calendar reflect what you say matters most? If the answer is no, Reggina helps them rework their schedules, restructure their priorities, and rebuild their credibility from the inside out.
Another cornerstone of Reggina’s leadership philosophy is the environment you cultivate. “You don’t rise to your goals. You fall to your environment,” he says.
Whether he’s reorganizing workflows for a large team or helping an individual create structure in their personal life, the goal is the same: design an ecosystem that supports growth. Through the No Snooze Podcast and coaching community, he’s fostered a culture where accountability, high standards, and progress are the norm, not the exception.
Reggina’s overarching message is deceptively simple: clarity comes through motion.
“Too many people wait for the perfect plan,” he explains. “But real growth comes when you move first, then adjust as you go.”
That mindset helped him launch a now top-ranking podcast, build a respected coaching brand, and secure partnerships with major companies. And it’s the same mindset he instills in his audience, encouraging people to take one “uncomfortable but necessary” action within the next 24 hours.
The Sunshine State has become a key hub for the No Snooze movement. With its entrepreneurial energy and hunger for personal excellence, cities like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando are responding in full force to Reggina’s message.
“Florida is full of people who want more out of life,” he says. “They’re motivated, entrepreneurial, and not afraid to invest in becoming their best. That’s exactly who we serve.”
From listener meetups to brand activations, Florida isn’t just a growing market for No Snooze, it’s becoming a cultural home base for the movement.
“You don’t need permission to lead,” he says. “You just need to stop snoozing on your potential and start living with intention.”
From government offices to podcast studios, Reggina is building a legacy rooted in action, discipline, and ownership. And the wave of self-leadership he’s creating is just getting started.
