David Bentall of Next Step Advisors - The Twists and Turns of Being in a Family Business - a podcast by Shawn Hass & Dustin Leniuk

Shawn and David start by briefly sharing their experience on a recent trip to Mexico with Homes of Hope https://www.ywamhomesofhope.org/mexico#baja

 

David is candid about the mistakes he made as a young CEO of Dominion Construction and reflects on the necessary traits great leaders need to focus on acquiring.  

 

David shares how his grand dad designed the largest building in the British empire in 1911.  The family also built landmark projects such as the Rogers Arena home of the Vancouver Canucks and Bentall Centre in downtown Vancouver.  His story enforces that it was always first and foremost about the relationships and that the work they earned and success the family experienced was a by-product of their open and transparent approach with customers.

 

David has authored 2 family business books; Leaving A Legacy & Dear Younger Me...

His Company Next Step Advisors is a sought after resource by business families throughout Canada.  https://www.nextstepadvisors.ca/
