David Clar's entrepreneurial journey began with purchasing a printing company from his parents, which he managed for nearly a decade. Under his leadership, the company transitioned from offset to digital printing, becoming a pioneer in the Rochester area. Despite facing numerous financial challenges, David's resilience and commitment to innovation helped him navigate and ultimately overcome these obstacles. Reflecting on his experiences, David underscores the importance of adaptability, continuous learning, and treating employees with respect, contrasting sharply with what he views as a prevalent "quitting attitude" among corporate executives.

  • Capturing and reflecting on small pieces of wisdom can greatly influence personal growth and decision-making.
