Dave Rossi shut down his $35 million construction company. Here's the mindset shift that followed.

Dave Rossi is the founder of CQ Construction, building luxury custom homes and developments in Silicon Valley. After running a $35 to 40 million a year construction company, Dave shut it down completely rather than stay in a partnership and a life he'd come to see as wrong. In this conversation, he and Jack dig into the difference between fear-driven decisions and objective reality, why "success equals happiness" has it backwards, and the filter Dave now runs every business decision through before committing.

The conversation also covers Dave's "building partner vs building vendor" model, how niching down grew his business after his reset, and a real estate story involving a $15 million teardown nobody had ever walked through.
