Through persistence, hard work, and a willingness to learn from mistakes, he tactfully planned for nothing less than success. It’s also about a family in business that fell apart as a family business. For 18 months, Max was literally locked out of his business by his brother. Max’s story is about forgiveness, resilience, and the power of faith. There are lots of pivotal moments in our lives. Which ones will stand out to transform your entrepreneurial journey?  His message is that extraordinary success is within your reach—when you're willing to put in the work.  Enjoy this Succession Stories episode about discovering the secrets behind a $37 million exit with Max Lewis.
