What if you lost everything: your business, home, and reputation - overnight? That’s exactly what happened to Dave Leatherby Jr. of Leatherby's Family Creamery. Dave Leatherby’s booming ice cream business collapsed under lawsuits, leading to bankruptcy, losing his home, and almost ending his marriage. Then, he met a man who told him,“Go see the miracles for yourself." The man had just returned from Medjugorje, a village in Bosnia and Herzegovina where six children claimed to see the Virgin Mary in 1981. Dave took the trip, and what he experienced erased his anger, restored his faith, and gave him a second chance at life. 02:00 Midwest Work Ethic 03:07 The Entrepreneurial Spirit 12:00 Ice Cream Parlor Dreams 22:02 Legal Battles 26:26 Personal Struggles 30:58 Follow The Priest 31:43 Financial Struggles 32:57 A Transformed Friend 35:29 Call to Pilgrimage 38:54 Experiencing Miracles 45:40 A Profound Change 53:25 Rebuilding Life and Business 56:14 Advice for Those Seeking Peace #selfimprovementpodcast
