This Champaign-based father and son (in-law) duo shares much more than business ventures. At the time of this recording, Dan and Greg were celebrating their 2nd year “kidneyversary.” When Greg’s kidneys were poisoned because of an undiagnosed prostate issue, family and friends around the globe stepped up to help in many ways.
 
  Listen as they retell the story of Greg’s dramatic health decline. A previously energetic and youthful Greg shares the moment things went down, literally, as he was dancing the Cha-Cha at a wedding and could not get up after “going down low.” From that point many diagnostic tests and complications would lead to complete kidney failure. His son-in-law would ultimately be a willing match for a kidney transplant. These entrepreneurs talk about the importance of faith, family, selflessness, fear of the unknown and putting your ultimate trust in a higher power.  You can hear the respect from Dan as he talks about protecting the patriarch of the family. You can hear the relief from Greg as his body and spirit continue to heal from months of poor health. When you are a mover and shaker and your energy is zapped, it’s hard to accept the change of pace. Both men show vulnerability and a true love of family in this story with a happy ending.
