146: Serving Your Way To Success with David Amigo

"I’m not in charge… & it’s a really nice feeling.” – David Amigo Most entrepreneurs chase control. David finds peace in letting go. Because when you’ve been a factory scab at 11, a product manager slinging cookies in your 20s, & a minority owner pushed out of your own family’s business — you learn fast: control is an illusion. What isn’t? Character. Integrity. Showing up. Doing the next right thing, even when the plan falls apart. That’s where purpose is forged — not in the wins, but in the wreckage. When you dust off, serve others, & keep building anyway. That mindset built his landscaping business, G & G Landscaping, one of the most respected in the Carolinas, where ego gets weeded out & excellence takes root. There, he’s not CEO. He’s CEB: Chief Errand Boy. Clearing the path. Serving first. Doing what needs doing. Because for David, leadership isn’t about being out front — it’s about being all in. For the builders, the rebuilders, & the ones who never quite fit the mold, this episode’s your mirror.
