Most entrepreneurs chase control.

David finds peace in letting go.

Because when you’ve been a factory scab at 11, a product manager slinging cookies in your 20s, & a minority owner pushed out of your own family’s business — you learn fast: control is an illusion.

What isn’t?

Character. Integrity. Showing up. Doing the next right thing, even when the plan falls apart.

That’s where purpose is forged — not in the wins, but in the wreckage.

When you dust off, serve others, & keep building anyway.

That mindset built his landscaping business, G & G Landscaping, one of the most respected in the Carolinas, where ego gets weeded out & excellence takes root.

There, he’s not CEO. He’s CEB: Chief Errand Boy. Clearing the path. Serving first. Doing what needs doing.

Because for David, leadership isn’t about being out front — it’s about being all in.

For the builders, the rebuilders, & the ones who never quite fit the mold, this episode’s your mirror.

David took Albert Einstein’s charge to heart: “Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.”

That’s some great wisdom!
