Teresa Reile joins the What Are You Made Of? show for a powerful conversation about grit, innovation, leadership, and creating impact at scale. As the CEO and founder of Patriox, a company focused on revolutionary oxygen delivery and wellness technology, Teresa shares how her mission today is rooted in decades of entrepreneurial success and humanitarian work. From building and scaling businesses that generated over $250 million in annual revenue to becoming the first woman in America to own and operate a biomass company retrofitting coal plants to biomass, Teresa’s journey is anything but ordinary.

In this episode, Teresa opens up about growing up in a small town outside Buffalo, overcoming destructive influences as a teenager, and discovering early on that she was wired to think bigger than the people around her. She takes Mike “C-Roc” through the evolution of her entrepreneurial career—from launching a travel company at a young age to helping build recycling, trucking, railroad, waste management, and real estate businesses on a massive scale. But beyond the business success, Teresa reveals the work that truly fulfilled her soul: rehabilitating thousands of inmates in Mexican prisons, helping reduce crime and recidivism rates, and leading anti-gang violence initiatives that transformed entire communities.

The conversation also dives into Teresa’s latest passion project, the OxyNation event, where scientists from around the world gather to present breakthrough discoveries in oxygen delivery, bioelectric medicine, and cutting-edge wellness science. Teresa shares incredible stories of healing, innovation, and why she believes the future of health will challenge everything we think we know today. Along the way, Mike and Teresa discuss leadership, accountability, organizational systems, and the mindset required to build companies, lead people, and stay unstoppable through every challenge life throws your way.
