What We Learned Mixing Family and Business: Real Stories, Real Lessons
In this episode of the Mixing Family and Business podcast, I sat down with family members Shirley, Tom, and Beth to swap stories about the balancing act of growing businesses together. We reflected on everything from chaotic holiday celebrations in our childhood to the nitty-gritty reality of starting—and sustaining—multiple ventures as a family. Along the way, we uncovered hard-earned wisdom about risk, adaptation, finding good people, and the practical surprises that pop up when you least expect them. Here's my expanded look at the themes, memories, and strategies that stood out from our heartfelt chat.
