Bob Chapman is the CEO of Barry-Wehmiller, a $4 billion global capital equipment company and author of Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family. Over his 50-year leadership journey, Bob transformed a struggling $20 million family business into a multibillion-dollar enterprise using a blend of sound business design, creative acquisitions, and a culture of truly human leadership. His work proves that success and compassion aren’t opposites—they’re partners.

On this episode we talk about:

  • How Bob turned a near-bankrupt family company into a $4 billion global organization

  • The nine-month period of surviving day-to-day on cash and what it taught him about resilience

  • Why your business model—not metrics alone—is the true engine of wealth creation

  • The strategy behind 150+ acquisitions and how he found value others missed

  • The power of combining common sense, creativity, and positivity in leadership

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. Cash is the oxygen of business—understanding its flow is fundamental to growth and survival.

  2. True leadership requires calm under crisis; your team follows your attitude more than your words.

  3. A great business model is your engine, but a caring culture is the premium fuel that makes it perform.

Notable Quotes

  • “Cash is the foundation of your ability to be a good steward of your business.”

  • “There’s no relationship between what something costs and what it’s worth.”

  • “Our business model is the engine, but our culture is the premium fuel.”
