In this soul-stirring episode of Soul Sparks, we welcome Dave “Letterfly” Knoderer—circus runaway, horseman, muralist, and master storyteller. From a childhood marked by chaos to a life of spiritual clarity, Dave shares how running away to join the circus wasn’t an escape—it was a calling.

This conversation dives deep into vulnerability, storytelling, and the transformation that comes when we turn pain into purpose and chaos into creativity. Prepare to be moved by a life that proves it’s never too late to begin again.
