Some of us come to business ownership as first-generation entrepreneurs, and others fall in love with it as children while watching their parents work hard and reap the rewards. Today’s guest falls firmly within the second category, having been trained in the family business by his father from the tender age of eight. Tune in to hear how David’s people-centered approach to business has drawn in a community of people from far and wide, and why that community is so important to him. You’ll hear how he structures his business, what he advises for listeners looking to avoid being scammed, and how computerization has influenced the motor industry today. We talk about the many ways David uses Dynamic Motors Auto Repair to give back, and he extends an invitation to listeners to join him and the team on the next Community Day, where you’ll stand a chance to win your share of great prizes. Thanks for tuning in!
