Built to Outlast explores the journeys and companies of business builders, with a focus on traditional small to mid-sized business niches in America and the strategies which allow those businesses and builders to endure and flourish. We progress from a surface level of understanding to a deeper level in order to provide knowledge, insight, and learnings that are shared amongst our community. Our episodes focus on personal motivations, journeys, and growth, as well as key drivers of the business model(s), value chain positioning, moat and sources of enduring returns on capital.
Our goal is to build content, tools and a community that supports and empowers what we believe is the backbone of America: business builders and doers, on their journey.

Tom Lehman – From paper routes to HVAC parts, oh, the places you’ll go!
Tom is the CEO of Surplus City, a leading supplier of HVAC equipment and replacement parts at great prices. Tom shares his journey growing up with young parents in a hardworking household, and how the sacrifice and courage he witnessed from them has served as a foundation for his life. We discuss the peaks, valleys and learnings from his wide ranging set of experiences from caddy to microbiologist to brewmaster to R&D chemist to CEO.
Leave something for BTO community: Reading Oh, The Places You’ll Go by Dr. Zeus as an adult can provide a wonderful reminder that life will have inevitable ups and downs, but the one thing you can control is your approach and response.
Ask something of BTO community: We are always looking for good people. If you have technical experience in the HVAC space and are looking for an opportunity, please reach out to us through BTO or directly at info@surpluscityliquidators.com!
