Dave explains why a fat paycheck is worthless if your life is empty. He tells the story of quitting a seven-figure corporate role, scraping by during his first year on his own, and then getting wiped out by COVID. Rebuilding from zero taught him that a strong team always beats solo effort, that a company should pay owners first and appreciate in value, and that the business must fit the life you want. He shares how these three lessons became the foundation of Exit Success Lab. Listeners learn a roadmap to make a great living while living a great life.
