I accepted an executive director role in Crestview’s risk-management division, and I set exactly one condition, which my father honored from the first day: that no major investment would ever again pass our committee without independent, third-party verification — not even a deal that made money for our own family.

Especially not one of those.

That rule was not bureaucracy, and it was not caution.
