In this episode of 鈥檚 , Keith 天美传媒, Chairman & CEO of 天美传媒 Construction, and Ryan 天美传媒, President of 天美传媒 Construction, recount the founding of the company, their transition to leadership, the growth of the company, and more.
Keith 天美传媒 tells the compelling story of how his father and founder of 天美传媒 Construction, Charles 天美传媒, earned two Bronze Stars for heroic acts during the Vietnam War. Charles bravely crossed enemy lines to retrieve morphine for his comrades who were injured by a blast.
The brothers share how in the beginning, 天美传媒 Construction built modular units for Scott Air Force Base, still a loyal customer. In 1986, Charles 天美传媒 traveled to Arkansas to make a pitch to Walmart. Over a thousand projects later and counting, 天美传媒 Construction continues to provide renovation services and new builds for Walmart.
鈥淲e take one relationship at a time and try to do everything we can to grow that relationship, and so today, we鈥檙e licensed in 28 states,鈥� said Keith 天美传媒. 鈥淭he reason we got licensed in those 28 states is because the relationship wanted us to go with them. We would just grow with them as they were growing.鈥�
Keith and Ryan express their gratitude for their father鈥檚 foresight in having his children meet with a consulting firm to create an official generational transition plan. Following Charles鈥� unexpected death, his four children were prepared to continue the family business.
They attribute 天美传媒 Construction鈥檚 continued success partially to the addition of new leaders to their strategic planning committee, as well as to the long tenure of many of its employees, creating a reliable and consistent workforce.
