David Miller is the Founder and CEO of Alchemy of Scale, a coaching practice that helps entrepreneurs systematize their operations and unlock true business growth. Imagine hiring a trader with a perfect resume, only to have them go rogue and lose millions of dollars in seconds. In this episode, David shares the full story of How a Rogue Trader Cost My Company $10 Million, including the six-year battle with the SEC that followed. We also discuss the systems he learned from this failure that allowed him to scale his next business to $10M in just 2.5 years. This is a raw, cautionary tale about trust, resilience, and the real cost of leadership. Check out the company: https://alchemyofscale.com
