What happens when a six-figure mistake forces a leader to look in the mirror?

In this episode of UH-OH Conversations with Cohesive Leaders, Dr. Troy Hall and Ben-Jamin Toy chat with entrepreneur and insurance leader David Price for an honest conversation about accountability, ego, and growth under pressure.

David shares how a $100,000 operational oversight exposed deeper issues around systems, leadership readiness, and removing himself from the business too quickly. Instead of deflecting blame, he walks through how owning the mistake sharpened his discipline, improved his processes, and ultimately strengthened the company.

This conversation goes beyond business mechanics. David opens up about his recovery journey, how discipline is built through repetition, why mistakes are expensive education, and what it really means to act like the leader you want to become before the title shows up.

If you’ve ever:

• Missed something costly at work
• Felt the sting of accountability
• Struggled with ego, growth, or delegation
• Wondered how leaders turn failures into fuel

This episode will hit home.
