Turning Grief into Good: The Inspirational Story of the DD Project w/ David Britz (Part 1)
Ep 92
Today’s story is one of taking immense grief and love, and transforming it into a heartwarming initiative that honors a memory while celebrating female entrepreneurs by funding their dreams through wine sales.
My guest David tragically lost his mother in 2019. He was driven by a desire to honor her memory and her entrepreneurial achievements through the founding of the DD Project. In this episode, we dive deep into the origin of the DD Project, David’s decision-making process for selecting and producing wines, and some of David’s favorite wines he’s produced for the DD Project.
David Britz is the founder of DD Project Wines and the DD Entrepreneurial Foundation. Started in honor of his late mother Diane Rizzo, all of the proceeds from DD Project Wines go toward the foundation’s work of supporting and developing female-owned businesses via grants and educational opportunities.
David’s cause celebrates legacy while savoring wines that are much more than what’s in the bottle. So, if you are inspired by the ways passion can transform grief into a powerful mission, click play and listen in on my conversation with David.
And don’t miss next week’s episode when David is back on the podcast to chat about his connection between wine and music, how he believes wine can have a positive impact on the world, and which wine myth bugs David the most!
