David shares the raw, unfiltered story of stepping away from his family’s legacy after conflict and disillusionment, only to return years later with a new perspective and renewed hope.

From confronting generational differences to navigating difficult conversations, David’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience, self-discovery, and clear communication in keeping a family and its business thriving.
