Episode 43: Dennis Knodt (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dennis-knodt) sits down with Chris Treble – entrepreneur, mentor, and now 85 – who’s played a key role in Dennis’ life for nearly two decades. The two met when Dennis was just 16, during a summer in Silicon Valley, and Chris has been a mentor and friend ever since. In this episode, Chris shares the ups and downs of his journey: growing up in post-war England, failing out of college, getting into Stanford against the odds, building a real estate empire – and nearly losing it all during the 2008 crash. It’s a conversation about second chances, finding your path, and what it means to show up for others – in business and life.
