He traded his concert promotion and music management business for a role in Ramseys company.

After about 13 years …
I lost my passion for what we were doing.
I still love the organization and love Dave, but I felt like it was time to move on.
I knew that it was time to take another risk.
So I got a one-room office in my little hometown of Franklin, Tennessee.
I stopped and talked to the couple one day.
I told them I wanted to invest in their business.
I took over their company and spent the next 13 weeks with them selling peaches.
The year I approached them, they sold $26,000 in peaches.
Nobody was listening to me.
[I realized] that they dont care about how great we are.
What they care about is: Can I solve their problems?
I needed to learn what problems they had.
Once I learned what I needed to promote, I wasnt promoting Dave.
I was promoting the problem that we solved for them; thats when we really took off.
