    Ed William - Writing A Biography That Reads Like Fiction (Ep. 332)
    Oct 15 2026
    Pre-order No One's Coming to Save You today: https://infinitebooks.com/products/no-ones-coming-to-save-you David Rhoiney was five when his father walked out, forcing David to become the "man of the house." Compton, Oakland, Long Beach: no matter where they turned, fear and hunger waited. Long nights in the homeless shelter. Drive-by shootings. Strangers in overalls dragging his mother away. As his world collapsed, David lost hope. No one was coming to save him. But he could save himself. When basketball threw him a lifeline, David grabbed it. So began an unlikely journey, one that carried him from living in a Volkswagen Jetta onto the courts of Division I, through the halls of the Naval Academy, into the corridors of national intelligence, and under the watchtowers of Guantánamo Bay. At last, scalpel in hand, David reached the operating room, where he could become the man his family needed. Ed William, a former lawyer, spent several days interviewing David and spoke to dozens of people from his life. The result is Ed's first book, No One's Coming to Save You: The Escape of David Rhoiney, out from Infinite Books on 8 December and now available for pre-order: https://infinitebooks.com/products/no-ones-coming-to-save-you "A powerful and deeply moving account of a boy forced to grow up too soon and the man he fought to become." —Rob Henderson, bestselling author of Troubled Ed joins Jim to discuss: The time David was forced to fight a schoolyard bully in front of his family. David's unusual experience of the Rodney King riots. The note David wrote to God every night. The English teacher who changed David's life in one hour. The prep school coach who cancelled David's credit cards. How a five-foot-three kid ended up playing Division I basketball. David as a role model for young men. The guilt underpinning David's success. The single word that describes David. Why Ed's interview plan fell apart in the first 5 minutes. Why Ed was inspired by Into the Wild and Raiders of the Lost Ark. How Ed captured David's voice. Much more!
