EP 5 - The Power of Perseverance and Collaboration in Business Growth with Premier Generators' Michael Murphy

Scaling the Gap

Your host, Madeleine MacRae, talks with the CEO of Premier Generators, Michael Murphy. Growing up in a small town, Michael's early fascination with building things set the stage for his future endeavors. He founded M4 Specialty, a commercial construction specialty contractor, with a clear focus on customer service. Michael's business philosophy centers on "giving a damn" about customers and making it easy for them to do business with his company. This approach has led him to take on unique and unconventional projects that have distinguished his market business.

Starting a business is never without challenges, Michael's journey was no exception. He faced a lawsuit and the loss of a major supplier during the early stages of M4 Specialty. These adversities taught him invaluable lessons about unconditional love, identifying true friends, and the necessity of seeking help when needed. Michael's resilience is a testament to the importance of mentorship and building a strong team to support business growth.

The launch of Premier Generators of Texas came when the demand for generators was at an all-time high due to a severe storm. Michael credits the success of this new venture to the mentorship of his cousin and the recruitment of skilled sales and installation teams that shared his core beliefs. This strategic move highlights the significance of having a supportive network and a team that aligns with your business values.
