About this listen

The Bonafide Man Podcast is cohosted by Marty McLain and David Johnson. Marty has over 30 years in vocational ministry and he is the author of two book. David brings 30 years of serving in executive positions in corporate America. Additionally, David is a sought-after speaker on the topic of sales and leadership development.

The aim of the podcast is to encourage men not to give up. Too many men have withdrawn or thrown in the towel to the detriment of their families. We want to provide examples of men who have faced adversity and have not given up. Men who have maintained focus amid chaos.

We ask questions such as “what separates those who stay strong and those who give up?” “How can men encourage other men not to give up?”

    "Welcome back to The Bonafide Man Podcast. Joining us today is a man who has decoded the DNA of elite performance. In addition to being named one of the Top 50 Keynote Speakers in the World, David Nurse is a former professional basketball player and a two-time Guinness World Record holder.

    In 2016, David served as shooting coach for the Brooklyn Nets, where he revolutionized their offense—taking the team from 28th in the league to 2nd in 3-point shooting. Since that time David has worked with 150 NBA players, whose combined contracts are worth more than $3.2 billion.

    Whether its business executives or NBA players, David helps people get into the zone. He says, “People often call the zone “elusive. I call it trainable. After years of living it, studying it, and helping others tap into it, I’ve developed a way to get IN THE ZONE—on call. A system to help you get into that space where time slows, clarity sharpens, and everything just clicks.” Welcome David Nurse to The Bonafide Man Podcast.

    Jan 6 2026

    n this episode of The Bonafide Man Podcast, David and Marty talk with David Benham. In 2014, David and his brother Jason faced a significant challenge when they were offered a reality show on HGTV. However, because they would not compromise on their strong biblical convictions, the Benham brothers got fired. This clash over values came at a great cost. David explained, “It was millions of dollars… but we knew we couldn’t budge.” The Benham Brothers stood firm at a time when many Christian leaders were wilting under the pressure to conform. Fortunately, this setback was not the end because God always has a plan!
