I have always admired the redemptive story of Dave Dahl, a former convict who turned his life around by making the killer recipe called “Blues Bread,” that revolutionized the bread industry. Dahl became the face of Dave’s Killer Bread, and helped turn a family baking industry into a multi-million dollar brand. Dave’s Killer Bread is the nation’s favorite organic sliced bread.
In November of 2013, Dahl’s fate turned during a widely publicized incident with Washington County police. Many people reported he was drunk or high. In fact, Dahl was experiencing his first psychotic episode, a terrifying experience he recounts in this interview.
