We had the good fortune of connecting with Bryan Witherspoon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Bryan, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Working in the HVAC industry for the last 20 years has made me realize that the most important thing to remember is that the customers need is always first priority! The biggest reason we are even in business is to take care of the customer. A large portion of the industry has forgotten that, choosing to focus on the bottom dollar, not hiring quality experienced workers and instead hiring sales focused slick talking individuals who have been trained to use a scare tactic approach with confusing words to trick customers into buying services that they don’t need at prices that are inflated. I realized that someone needed to bring some sanity back to the industry and that I was the one that was going to make that happen! Ethics and honesty are the two main principles that drive me to succeed. I believe providing excellent service for a reasonable price is a simple objective to achieve! It’s about families helping families! Treat others as you would expect to be treated.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I have worked with so many great people in this industry! People that fostered an environment of respect and compassion and always doing the right thing even when it wasn’t profitable! Taking care of the customers always came first. Integrity and honesty is the key to successful relationships with customers and I have always taken that to heart. It is the foundation of any successful business and people can always tell if you’re genuine and I sincerely believe that if you just do what’s right then you will be successful! Never giving up and always moving forward is so very important. Believing in my self and keeping my morals throughout my career has helped me to overcome all obstacles and brought me to where I am today! Starting Icicle Air LLC is the best decision I’ve ever made and no matter what happens next I know that I have succeeded in my life and my career and will always be proud of my accomplishments!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
First we will head to La Santismia in downtown Phoenix for some tacos, chips and their amazing salsa bar! Then Go check out the wild animal exhibits at the Phoenix Zoo, Followed by a day hiking camelback mountain. Then we would stop in at the Black and White Cafe for some delicious breakfast before heading out to cave creek for some lunch at Harold’s and take in some local entertainment at the Hideaway! On another day-we’d take my boat out to lake pleasant for a day on the water to enjoy the weather and some lunch at Scorpion Bay! We would definitely go downtown for a diamondbacks game at the Ballpark and head to Westgate for some laughs at the comedy club and drinks in old town Scottsdale then visit the Arizona history museum and Science center!Drive up north to Route 66 in Williams and visit Bearizona!And Finally head to the Odysea Aquarium and Talking Stick Resort and Casino for a bit of gambling and exciting entertainment!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My wife and kids have been the inspiration for my success and the reason for my growth and drive. Their future is always a part of everything that I do! Providing for them and insuring that they will be taken care of if anything happens to me and I am no longer able to provide is the most important thing in my life. As I am the proud father of 4 autistic children ,two of which are non verbal autistic and two that are highly functioning but are not always very successful with socializing with other people. Insuring that they are happy and are able to live their best lives in a supportive, loving environment is the best feeling in the world. We are so very proud to support autism awareness!
