<p><strong>FEATURED GUESTS</strong></p><p>Brian Jurgens and Tim Kenney</p><p><strong>ABOUT</strong></p><p>Boston is known for its unique architecture and rich history; today we get to meet the family that’s spent the last half century painting it all! The legendary Tim Kenney and Brian Jurgens.</p><p>This fourth-generation company started by selling paint door to door during the Great Depression. When your business has thrived for that long, you’ve had to not only adapt but also tread in waters where no one has gone before. We get into how Tim was convinced to step into the family business and how later on the torch got passed down to Brian.</p><p>Being based in New England, <a href="https://wtkenney.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">W.T. Kenney</a> has had painting jobs like the President’s suites at Gillette Stadium, lawyers offices for the Celtics, revolutionary war buildings, a 100’ flagpole on the Lexington battle green, Harvard, and so many more.</p><p>It wasn’t an easy road; Brian would spend the days painting and at night change into his school clothes, going for his MBA. Tim had other aspirations until his dad pulled him aside and asked him to join the family business, a question that would change his life.</p><p>In this episode we cover:</p><p>- The financial changes when you move into ownership</p><p>- The little things Tim does to improve customer relations</p><p>- How to transition a family business down without hindering progress</p><p>- Will the fourth generation pass the business off to the fifth generation?</p><p>- Brian’s plans for the future as the new face of the company</p><p>They’ve been featured on NPR and the Boston Globe for their work, all while maintaining family values and staying true to what they stand for. Tune in for the rest of the episode and hear the incredible stories on not only how they managed business but also all of the incredible projects they’ve been a part of.</p><p><strong>CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST</strong></p><p><a href="https://wtkenney.com/team/">W.T.
