Brian C. Wilson Jr. joins Spearhead Conversations for an inspiring episode that charts his powerful transformation from facing adversity to leading with purpose as a successful entrepreneur and changemaker.
As the founder of Seven Generation Contractors LLC, the only American Indian-owned commercial, residential, and military concrete company in Wisconsin. Brian shares how his Indigenous roots, personal struggles, and commitment to growth have shaped both his life and leadership.
Raised as one of the few Indigenous families in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, Brian faced significant challenges, including trouble with the law and time in prison. Refusing to let those experiences define him, he turned his life around through education, earning both a bachelor’s and master’s degree. Eventually, he found his true calling in construction, building not just a business but a legacy inspired by the Oneida Nation principle of thinking seven generations ahead.
In this episode, Brian discusses launching Seven Generation Contractors LLC from the ground up, the importance of collaboration over competition, and the mentors who guided him. He also speaks on his commitment to community, whether it’s through sponsoring local boxing events, supporting fellow entrepreneurs, or launching a new health-focused restaurant. His story offers a powerful blueprint for resilience, leadership, and using your journey to spark meaningful change.
