Interview with David Greer: Facing a Brutal Fact

Some lead­er­ship jour­neys don’t just change how you run a busi­ness — they change how you live your life.

In this deeply per­son­al con­ver­sa­tion, Kevin sits down with David Greer, a sea­soned CEO and entre­pre­neur, to explore a jour­ney that spans build­ing com­pa­nies, rais­ing a fam­i­ly, con­fronting addic­tion, and ulti­mate­ly redefin­ing what it means to lead well. What begins as a dis­cus­sion about strat­e­gy and growth quick­ly becomes a can­did exam­i­na­tion of iden­ti­ty, pur­pose, and the inner work required to sus­tain suc­cess over the long haul.

David shares what it took to face the real­i­ties he could no longer out­run, the role coach­ing played in help­ing him ask hard­er ques­tions, and how recov­ery trans­formed not just his lead­er­ship style, but his entire expe­ri­ence of life. This is an hon­est, pow­er­ful con­ver­sa­tion about clar­i­ty, courage, and the dis­ci­pline required to lead — from the inside out.
