Episode 103: Mike Reischmann, CEO of Kenyon Grills: How Kenyon Captured 90% of the Marine Grill Market ⭐

Mike Reischmann - CEO Kenyon Grills - his enthusiasm is infectious! There are some people you meet in business who are clearly building a product… and then there are those who are on a mission. Mike Reischmann of Kenyon Grills is firmly in the second category. Sitting down with Mike at IBEX in Florida, you immediately feel it — his enthusiasm is so genuine and so powerful, it’s like he’s saving the world one grill at a time. And in the boating industry, he just might be. With Kenyon Grills cornering over 90% of the market in their space, there’s no doubt he has created an exceptional product that boaters trust. But what really stood out to me wasn’t just the market share — it was the craftsmanship and innovation behind it. These grills feature unique design elements that Mike has painstakingly developed over the years. Every detail has been considered, refined, and engineered for the marine environment. And understandably, those innovations are carefully protected with patents — when you build something this good, you protect it. The atmosphere at IBEX made this conversation even more special. There’s an energy at that show — the pulse of the marine industry all in one place — and Mike’s passion fit it perfectly. His energy is truly infectious. You’ll hear it in his voice. You’ll feel it in the way he talks about his team, his customers, and the relentless pursuit of getting it right. If you’re in the boating space — or simply appreciate entrepreneurs who care deeply about what they create — you’re going to love this conversation.
