Built by Fire – Chapter 9: The Business of Becoming (Audiobook)
In Built by Fire – Chapter 9: The Business of Becoming, David Burnell shares how the journey from battlefields to boardrooms was never about chasing profit—it was about becoming the person God was calling him to be. From launching a wireless communications company to a $50 million exit, to building a tactical gear brand that served warriors worldwide, to helping others find purpose after service, David’s business ventures became a forge for faith, leadership, and integrity. This chapter pulls back the curtain on the wins, failures, and spiritual lessons learned while leading companies through chaos, carrying the weight of payroll, and mentoring teams that felt like family. Business was never the point; becoming was. It’s a reminder that no matter where you serve—boots on the ground or shoes on a stage—your greatest legacy isn’t measured in dollars but in lives changed, dignity restored, and integrity upheld. Let your life, not just your labor, be the legacy.
