In this episode of Torch Talk, Lindsey sits down with Bob Bennett, founder of Farsight Management and a nationally respected expert in indoor air quality. With more than 30 years of experience and over 6,000 inspections under his belt, Bob shares the story of how he launched his company at age 45, built it on education and integrity, and has kept it thriving for 25 years.

From mold and lead paint to asbestos and volatile organic compounds, Bob explains the science of healthy buildings and why reputation, training, and relentless learning matter as much as technical skill. He also opens up about the challenges of entrepreneurship, the lessons that come with longevity, and the unusual “bat guano” case he’ll never forget.

In this episode, you’ll hear:
• What it takes to survive and grow in a high-stakes, highly technical industry
• Why education and training are the foundation of Bob’s success
• How to balance risk, costs, and integrity as a business owner
• Stories from the field, including some of the wildest inspections
• Bob’s advice for every homeowner buying a house

It’s a conversation packed with wisdom, science, and practical lessons for leaders who want to build businesses that last.
