Growing up, Dave watched his grandfather build and run a successful family business. And though Dave initially built his own career in the corporate world, the lessons learned from his grandfather stayed with him and eventually inspired him to become an entrepreneur in his own right.

  • What his grandfather taught him about managing fear, and how franchising helped him overcome his fear of entrepreneurship

  • Why he loves the word “empowerment” and how it’s emblematic of the franchise journey
