Episode 12
Thursday, 24 March, 2022

You’ve heard of O’Reilly Automotive Inc., the Springfield-based auto parts retailer that’s been a darling of Wall Street since going public.Well this episode, we sit down with an O’Reilly, Tim O’Reilly, the grandson of company co-founder Charlie Chub O’Reilly. Tim’s not in the auto business but we’ll find he’s definitely influenced by his family culture.Tim's soft spoken but direct in leading his company, O’Reilly Hospitality Management, in putting philanthropy at its core: "It kind of goes back to my upbringing. It's all I've ever known. My parents and family, they were very focused on community outreach and trying to good things to help people. It has a lot of basis in our religion and how we were raised."Someone who's a giving person fits well with hospitality."
