Today, I sit down with Ben Daughters — husband, father, Army veteran, and the visionary entrepreneur behind The Poor House at Machinery Hall in downtown Chillicothe.
Ben’s story is one of faith, discipline, and community impact. From serving our country and leading soldiers through Ranger School, to restoring a 144-year-old historic building and turning it into one of the most iconic restaurants in Southern Ohio — Ben shares what it truly means to lead with excellence, patience, and purpose.
In this episode, we talk about everything from the early days of entrepreneurship, business risks, and family balance, to the deeper lessons learned through hard work and consistency. Ben reminds us that “Flawless execution isn’t about perfection — it’s about doing the little things right, every single day.”
This conversation is packed with wisdom for anyone chasing a dream, building a business, or simply trying to become the best version of themselves.
💬 Stay positive. Keep working. The work yields results.
