His journey into opening Orange Leaf is rooted not just in entrepreneurship, but in service — to his employees, his customers, and the town itself.Dave is deeply hands-on with every aspect of the business. From getting the doors open to mentoring and supporting his employees, he leads with intention, transparency, and respect. His goal isn’t just to run a successful yogurt shop — it’s to help build up Aledo, collaborate with local organizations, and create a welcoming space where families, students, and neighbors can gather.Community involvement is at the core of Dave’s mission. He believes strongly in giving back, working with the town, and being a business owner who shows up — not just as an employer, but as a partner to the people around him. That mindset is exactly what makes this venture special.Congratulations to Dave on turning vision into action. This is more than a business — it’s a community investment, and we’re proud to support it.13.6 Million Viewers and Listeners in 73 Countries788 Cities Worldwide Support the show“We didn’t know it all— we learned with love, led with kindness, and earned our way to the top.”
