From a delivery truck in 1993 to the CEO seat at BHF Operating Company LLC dba Buddy's Home Furnishings, RTO Legend Michael Bennett’s career reflects more than growth – it reflects grit.

In Episode 16 of the RTO Legends Podcast Series, Michael Bennett shares the path that shaped his leadership philosophy. He began at Rent-A-Center earning minimum wage, advanced through multi-unit management, led operations at RentWay and Aaron’s, navigated corporate transitions, returned through Acceptance Now, and ultimately stepped into executive leadership at Buddy’s.

Along the way, one theme remained consistent: business is about people. Titles don’t define leadership. Integrity does. Accountability does. Service does.

As a three-term APRO president, Bennett also helped guide the association through leadership transitions, membership shifts, and ongoing legislative advocacy at both the state and federal levels.

Watch to hear how resilience, partnership, and a people-first mindset built a three-decade legacy in rent-to-own.
