You Can Only Ever Make Me Proud: A Leader’s Journey Through Loss and Legacy

What do you do when your world falls apart—and you still have to lead?

In this raw and emotional episode, Dave Champagne opens up about the tragic loss of his daughter, the emotional and financial breakdown that followed, and how he found his way back to purpose, peace, and leadership.

We talk about:

• Grief, guilt, and healing
• The pressure to hold it together while falling apart
• Rebuilding his business with vulnerability
• The power of telling the truth as a leader
• And the sentence he now speaks over his daughter’s memory:
• “You can only ever make me proud.”

This is a conversation about life behind the scenes of leadership—and what it means to keep showing up with heart.
