About this listen
He lost the family company.
Then he bought it back.
Bert Lowden didn’t inherit Aquatrol — he had to fight for it.
This is the story of what happens when legacy slips through your fingers… and what it takes to rebuild it from the ground up.
🔊 In this episode of the Fully Open Podcast:
• The pain of losing a family business
• What it takes to buy back a legacy — with no safety net
• The real cost of ownership (when you're the one on the hook)
• Why fixing a reputation takes more than capital
🎙 Hosted by Gil Welsford Jr., third-generation industrial entrepreneur and founder of ValveMan.com.
