Dustin Young on brain surgery, cancer, and building Raven CFO
Dustin Young shares leaving the family business, surviving migraines, brain surgery and cancer, then building Raven CFO to help construction founders align systems, reduce stress, and put family and life first.
Key Points
- Dustin Young’s path from construction and family business work to launching Raven’s CFO was shaped by a sudden brain cancer diagnosis that forced him to rethink what mattered most.
- His experience taught him that delegation, hiring, and business growth only work when they also protect time, energy, and stability at home.
- The clearest lesson he leaves behind is to make needed life and business changes now instead of waiting for the “right” time that may never come.
