A short YouTube monologue by Donald Burns urging listeners—particularly those in the restaurant/business world—to stop prioritizing profit over family. The speaker warns that giving everything to a business leaves family with only leftovers and asks whether listeners want to be remembered for building a business or being there for their family.
