  • The Brutal Reality of Running a Family Business | Brian O’Leary (REOTEMP)
    2025/11/04
    Brian OLeary doesn’t just run a family business — he stewards a legacy.
    And that mindset has guided him through decades of growth, succession, and strategic ownership at REOTEMP Instruments.

    In this fourth episode of the Fully Open Podcast, host Gil Welsford Jr. sits down with Brian to explore the generational reality of industrial leadership — and why equity, stewardship, and long-term trust are still the foundation of resilient companies.

    💡 What you’ll hear:
    • What “ownership mindset” means inside a family-run manufacturing company
    • How REOTEMP scaled while staying grounded in values
    • Why second-generation leaders face a different kind of pressure
    • How trust and training can build long-term wealth across teams
    • What it means to build things that actually last — not just for sale
    🧭 This isn’t just a business story — it’s about legacy, decisions, and what we owe the next generation.
