Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Governance Bites, David Turner joins Mark Banicevich to explore how boards need to rethink risk management in an increasingly complex and unpredictable world. They discuss moving beyond spreadsheets and compliance to use risk as a strategic advantage, developing meaningful risk appetite, identifying emerging and “unknown” risks, and overseeing AI and cybersecurity without needing to be technical experts. David Turner also explains why people, culture and communication are at the heart of effective risk management – and why the best boards are those willing to ask difficult questions, challenge assumptions and confront uncomfortable issues before they become crises.

In this episode, I’m joined by David Turner, author of From Coward to Warrior, a powerful true story about his personal battle for courage and the fight to save his marriage. David’s heart for helping men reclaim their God-given strength is evident in everything he shares, from his ministry experience to his passion for coaching men through the cultural noise that tries to diminish them. We talk about what it means to be a warrior in today’s world, how faith and vulnerability intersect, and why courage isn’t just about being bold, it’s about being obedient. If you’ve ever wrestled with identity, leadership, or the quiet battles behind closed doors, this conversation will meet you right where you are. David Turner is author of From Coward To Warrior, a true story about his battle with courage and the fight to save his marriage. He has a passion for helping men become the warriors that God created them to be, coaching them to fight the prevailing culture that portrays all men as bumbling fools, and preparing them for the conflicts they will face in the modern world. His website (by the same name as the book) gives more information for those who are interested. David has worked as an assistant pastor in the inner city of San Francisco, a private high school Bible teacher in the Silicon Valley, and as a missionary to the Fiji Islands, to name just a few roles. He has a Bachelor's degree from SFSU and a Master's degree from Fuller Seminary, with more than 20 years of widely varying ministry experience. He now trades stocks and options on the U.S. stock market, and is an investment advisor representative with Tradeway. His leisure time activities include restoring a 1965 Mustang in the garage; traveling with his wife, Tee, to places they’ve never been before; and writing stories he would actually want to read.
