#67 Why the Smartest Move He Made Was Leaving the Family Business | David Temko

There’s no dress rehearsal for the moments that define you, and David Temko has lived that truth more than once. In this episode, I’m with the founder and CEO of C2 Financial to unpack a life shaped by entrepreneurial parents, a starter marriage, his father’s passing, and the unexpected clarity that comes when everything converges at once. David shares how traveling through 20 countries, cutting his teeth in commercial real estate, and eventually building his own commercial lending division prepared him for a leadership role he never asked for but was always being built toward.
