In this episode of Leave Average for Joe, I sit down with Chad Midnight, founder of Aqueduct Water Systems, to explore how personal history can shape a powerful mission. Raised in Alberta, Canada, Chad grew up watching his father hustle in the restaurant business—learning firsthand the grit, discipline, and vision it takes to succeed at running your own company. But it was tragedy that gave his entrepreneurial drive its purpose: losing his mother at a young age due to contaminated water. That loss lit a fire that would become Aqueduct Water, a company committed to providing safe, clean water solutions. This is a conversation about resilience, legacy, and turning pain into impact. Chad talks about ways he calms his nerves through breath work, his recent experience in South Africa at the G20 YEA Summit, the books he likes to read and so much more.
