2. From Hamburger University to CEO: Chris Turcotte

Welcome to a powerful episode of Better Call Daddy, where we dive deep into resilience, authenticity, and the transformative power of embracing our past.

This week, hosts Reena Watts and Wayne Friedman are joined by Chris Turcotte, a dynamic CEO who has turned his challenging upbringing into a source of strength and motivation.

Chris shares his journey of overcoming adversity, from growing up with an abusive father to losing both parents at a young age. He reflects on how these experiences shaped his relentless work ethic and commitment to being a better father and leader.

With raw honesty, he discusses the importance of having difficult conversations and the necessity of being genuine in our relationships—both personal and professional.
