Episode Summary
Dave Clare breaks down the difference between speed bumps, hurdles, and the walls you invent in your own head; then shares the 2017 “pizza box” moment where the business bombed and he chose to commit anyway.
The conversation gets practical on leadership: lead people, manage resources, and never reduce humans to “resources.” Dave unpacks a key business shift; stop selling programs with an end date and start selling a process that creates recurring revenue and stability.
Levi Saunders widens the lens into relationships, seasons, and growth: adversity shows who steps forward, who steps back, and who can’t handle your evolution. Levi brings it back to what matters; presence, fatherhood, and rebuilding relationships after hard chapters.
