David Shaft is the host of Conversations That Count, a multicam communication and leadership podcast featuring 58+ longform interviews with executives, creators, negotiators, and culture builders. The show is built on a single signature question asked of every guest: "Tell me about a time you had a conversation that really counted." The patterns across nearly five dozen answers have become a small dataset on what consequential communication actually looks like in practice — and a working library of communication moves David teaches in keynotes and workshops. David's day job is President's Club banker at Rocket Mortgage, where he's spent years running client conversations that demand trust and learning what separates the words that move deals from the words that don't. He's a 2024 graduate of Dale Carnegie Training, a former Director, and the emcee for Autotech 2025. Based in Detroit, David built CTC alongside the role specifically to study communication craft in the wild. The show publishes Tuesday and Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify, plus daily YouTube Shorts. David speaks on three core areas: Communication and difficult conversations (how to handle the moments most leaders avoid), Leadership and career advancement (the conversational habits that compound the fastest), and Sales and negotiation (what 58+ guest interviews reveal about the words that actually move deals). Past speaking and host experience includes Twisted Storytellers in Metro Detroit, emcee work at Autotech 2025, Director-level group presentations and team training inside Rocket Mortgage, and 58+ longform podcast interviews where he's both host and trained interviewer. David is available for keynotes, panels, workshops, podcast guest appearances, and corporate communication training. He prioritizes paid opportunities but accepts free engagements for high impact stages, especially those that bring him in front of audiences in Detroit, the Midwest, or anywhere the conversations on the show would resonate.
