In Part 2 of our Demesmin & Dover series, we shift from the origin story to the real build — how they grew a law firm from survival mode into a multi-office operation.
the most powerful moment isn’t about revenue — it’s about impact:
They share the moment they realized they were truly successful… when they bought an employee a car and presented it in front of the entire staff — because “success was that you’re in a position where you can bless other people.”
They also talk about:
Delayed gratification in businessWhy culture beats productivityWhy “money will come if you become the best”How fear holds people back from startingWhy legacy matters more than material successChapters & Timestamps
