Ep 50 - Darryl Budd

In this special 50th episode of Shit My Dad Taught Me, we’re joined by Darryl Budd — longtime business leader, entrepreneur, mentor, and member of the family behind the Budds’ Group of Companies.

Darryl shares the story of building a family-run automotive business from the ground up, starting with a small dealership in Oakville in 1973 and growing it into one of Ontario’s most recognized automotive groups. Along the way, he opens up about leadership, risk-taking, mentorship, fatherhood, and the lessons passed down through generations.

We talk about:

Building a long-term business with family
Leadership and entrepreneurship
Mentorship and learning through mistakes
Fatherhood and raising independent kids
Legacy and family values
The state of Canada’s economy and entrepreneurship
Why trades and skilled work still matter
The mindset required to survive difficult times

Darryl also shares his perspective on success, personal responsibility, and what it means to leave behind more than just financial wealth.

A thoughtful and honest conversation about business, family, resilience, and building a legacy that lasts.
