Forget Your Wallet: Why Serving Others First Built a $32M Business with Dave Larson

Ep 48: What if the key to business longevity isn't hustle…it's integrity? Dave Larson has been in the entrepreneurial game for over three decades. He's survived three recessions, a global pandemic, and countless tech disruptions that killed off his competitors. As the founder of Sales and Marketing Technologies, he's helped over 4,800 companies grow and delivered more than $32 million in services. But here's what makes Dave's story different: he's built his business on a principle most entrepreneurs ignore: forget your wallet, focus on them. Starting at age 17 detailing cars while listening to Zig Ziglar tapes, Dave learned early that success isn't about chasing every opportunity. It's about saying no to the wrong ones. From turning down projects that wouldn't serve clients well (like a toilet-shaped dog bowl website) to walking away from industries that didn't align with his values, Dave's built a reputation on one thing: if you come to him, you'll get it finished. In this conversation, Sarah and Dave dig into the unsexy truth about building something that lasts - steady standards, family-first priorities, and the willingness to turn down money when it's not a win for everyone involved. In this episode, you'll discover: ✔️ Why "forget your wallet" became Dave's guiding business principle ✔️ How he survived 34 years in business through recessions, tech shifts, and a pandemic ✔️ The moment he walked away from millions by selling his stock too early (and what it taught him) ✔️ Why saying "no" to clients protects both your reputation and theirs ✔️ How working with Disney, Universal, and 4,800+ other companies shaped his standards ✔️ What a 40-year marriage teaches you about running a sustainable business This isn't another "scale fast and break things" story. This is about building something solid that survives when others collapse.
