Chapter 10 - I ALMOST LOST MY COMPANY BECAUSE I WANTED REVENGEMy first instinct was to fire everyone connected to Ryan.
Every executive who had been friendly with him.
Every vendor.
Every consultant.
My CFO stopped me.
“Daniel, you’re angry.”
“I have reasons.”
“Yes.”
“Then move.”
“No.”
He looked at me.
“Do not destroy a company of twelve hundred employees because your brother betrayed you.”
That hit.
He was right.
So we audited.
Professionally.
Slowly.
People who knowingly participated were removed.
People who merely knew Ryan socially stayed.
The company did not become an instrument of family revenge.

Emma’s future ownership deserved better governance than angry purges.
We established independent directors.
Expanded compliance.
Reduced family control.
