In this episode, Darin Zwick, President and CEO of Zwick Construction, shares the story of his family's construction company — founded by his grandfather in 1969, shut down entirely when his father left to serve a church mission, and rebuilt from scratch by Darin in 2007, just months before the 2008 recession.
