Podcasts about family businesses

Note to Parents: This episode contains graphic descriptions of the procedures and medical facts concerning abortion. We strongly advise using discretion in sharing this with young children. For decades, the abortion debate has been a flashpoint of passion and division in our society -  precisely because it is so much more than words and arguments. It strikes at the very heart of what it means to build a family. Here at The Family Business with The Alessis, we believe strongly in empowering families with the truth so they can build a generational legacy, so we have prepared a 2-part series on this topic to give you the best foundation and information as things stand now, especially after the overturning of Roe. V. Wade in 2022. To help navigate this complex topic, we are blessed to welcome a family friend and expert on the laws, history and ideological concepts around the abortion industry - Cristina M. Squiers.  Cristina has a long, deep friendship with the Alessi family, and has risen to the top of her field as a ligitator and counsel in cases involving pro-life causes and the abortion industry. Today, she sits down with several of the young ladies in the Alessi family to dig deeper into how this issue affects women and families beyond the soundbites and political chatter. Cristina Squiers graduated from Princeton University and was a recipient of the University's ReachOut Fellowship.  During her fellowship year, Cristina worked at the nation's largest adoption agency and started a mentoring program for youth leaving foster care.  She received her J.D. from Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law where she served as Editor-in-Chief of the SMU Law Review and interned for Catharina Haynes of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. She now practices law in Dallas, TX and is married to her husband Dr. Jack Squiers. Together they have 3 children and are expecting their fourth. . If this helped you, you should also listen to: From Mother to Daughter: Honest Questions about Marriage, Motherhood and Changing Seasons | S3 E17Twin Talk: Why Wise Women Need To Share Their Stories w/ Mary Alessi and Martha Munizzi | S5 E19 JOIN THE FAMILY BUSINESS!

In this episode of the Disruptive Successor Show, Jonathan Goldhill discusses the complex dynamics within family businesses, particularly when it comes to compensation, values, and succession planning. He's joined by Mike Alves, the founder of Vita Private Wealth, to shed light on the challenges faced by families in business and share insights on how to manage them effectively. He emphasizes the importance of open communication and aligning values across generations to ensure the continuity and success of family businesses. Jonathan and Mike delve into topics like fair compensation for family members involved in the business, the importance of defining and passing down family values, and the role of next-generation financial education in preserving multi-generational wealth.KEY TAKEAWAYSSudden Wealth Syndrome: Many families, including those in multi-generational wealth, face challenges due to a lack of financial education, leading to issues like sudden wealth syndrome.Next-Generation Financial Literacy: Mike Alves highlights the significance of early financial education, teaching young individuals about saving, investing, and philanthropy.Values and Legacy: Successful family business succession involves not only transferring wealth but also passing down family values and a sense of stewardship.Family Meetings: Facilitated family meetings are crucial for addressing conflicts and ensuring clear communication among generations.Aligning Passions: Encouraging the next generation to pursue their passions and values can lead to fulfilling lives while preserving the family legacy.Compensation Clarity: It's crucial to differentiate between ownership and compensation in family businesses. Family members actively involved in the business should receive fair market compensation, while dividends and ownership shares are based on ownership stakes.Passing Down Values: Family meetings and communication are vital for passing down not just financial assets but also family values. Technology can aid in recording messages from founders to future generations, ensuring their values are preserved.Value Discovery: Uncovering and understanding one's values is a critical step for both adults and children in the family. Aligning these values with financial decisions can lead to greater fulfillment and success.Entitlement Awareness: Entitlement can be a pitfall in wealthy families. It's essential to instill a sense of responsibility and avoid entitlement by educating the next generation about the family's financial values.QUOTES"We don't want to have this issue of 90 percent of wealthy families losing their wealth by the third generation and the sudden wealth syndrome.""Follow your passion, follow your why. Money will come along, maybe not immediately, but it will eventually come.""It's all about communication of those values and education of the next generations that come.""Compensation to be market rate. We look at dividends to be based on ownership.""Values to a family are going to be different. Developing family values that are articulated and communicated at family meetings are so important.""No one wants or feels proud of a child who's overly entitled.""Aligning values with financial decisions changes everything."Connect and learn more about Mike Alves in this link below.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikealves/If you enjoyed today's episode, please subscribe, review, and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.

You may have heard glowing reviews recently of the succession planning at the giant conglomerate and family business LVMH. The founder, Bernard Arnault, has been applauded for how he has worked to position his five children to succeed in the business. Mr. Arnault, a successful corporate raider, has worked hard to keep his own firm out of reach of others like him.  Here's the flaw: what we have heard and what we can infer no one has likely heard. Who, exactly, is going to lead the business and when? Last year, at age 73, he convinced the LVMH board to raise the mandatory retirement age for chief executive and chairman from 75 to 80. So, he no longer needs to retire next year, as had been expected. Has he fallen for the myth of founder immortality?Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Welcome to Grit & Growth's masterclass on spontaneous communication — those unplanned moments when you're called on in a meeting, asked to give feedback, or introduced to a potential investor. Matt Abrahams, Stanford Graduate School of Business lecturer in strategic communications, has tips and tricks to overcome anxiety, gain confidence, and make sure you're ready to speak when you least expect it.Matt Abrahams speaks a lot in public, whether he's teaching MBAs at Stanford or hosting his podcast “Think Fast, Talk Smart.” And yet, he still gets nervous. He calls it getting the “ABCs.” “There's the affect or emotional component, the behavioral or what happens to your body, and then the cognitive part, what happens in your mind,” Abrahams explains. Luckily, he believes there are tons of techniques to manage your nerves, like holding something cold in your hands to calm you down, saying positive affirmations to give you confidence, and even using tongue twisters to both distract your mind and warm up your voice. Abrahams' latest book, Think Faster, Talk Smarter, is filled with practical advice for how to prepare for your next spontaneous conversation. He says the biggest mistake people make in their communication is starting from the wrong place. “We start by saying, here's what I want to say, versus, what does the audience or person I'm speaking to need to hear. And that's a fundamental mind shift. If I don't understand from your perspective what's important for you, what knowledge you have now versus where I would like you to be, I can't tailor my message.” 7 Masterclass Takeaways AMP it up. If speaking makes you nervous, develop an Anxiety Management Plan to help you overcome the nerves. Focus, focus, focus. Abrahams reminds us that sometimes people just want to know the time, not how to build the clock. Prioritize connection, not perfection. “There is no right way to communicate. There are better ways and worse ways, but there is no one right way. And when we put that pressure on ourselves to do it right, we actually reduce the likelihood that we'll do it well at all.”Think about your audience, not yourself. “We really need to be other-focused. And the nice thing about being other-focused is not only is the message more likely to land, the other person is likely to feel more valued because you're tailoring the message to them,” says Abrahams.Make it relevant. And connect the dots for people. “If you can make something relevant to people, it's been shown that they process it so much more thoroughly and invest a lot of effort. We assume that if I set up everything, that you'll connect all the dots, and that's not always true.”Be clear when giving feedback. Many leaders find giving feedback one of the hardest parts of their jobs. “When you give feedback, be very clear on what it is you're looking for. Many of us are just so frustrated, upset, at whatever's happening or not happening that we're not very clear,” Abrahams recommends.Prepare to be spontaneous. Using common structures like “problem, solution, benefit” to tell your story can be practiced for your next spontaneous interaction. Listen to Matt Abrahams' communication insights, advice, and strategies for how to think faster and talk smarter.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It is with great pleasure that I introduce the wonderful Veronica Maoli to end the brief hiatus within the Changemakers Podcast. Veronica is an Entrepreneur - Real Estate and Automotive Industry and Dealer Principal for Celebrity Ford of Toms River.Growing up in Morris County, NJ, Veronica at a young age struggled with being bullied and had to deal with high school cliques. She always found herself wanting to surround herself with new people to learn from them. She began ballroom dancing at age 12 which helped her grow her confidence and focus on herself and her own personal growth. Her advice to those who similarly suffered from bullying in or out of school is, “you have to be okay with someone disliking you, the best thing that you can do is become comfortable and confident in who you are”. Veronica Maoli began her girlboss journey majoring in entrepreneurship at High Point University. It was there that she created a philosophy that would later become the backbone of Celebrity Ford, “every single employee is in it as a team”. She watched her dad grow his businesses, at first shying away from getting involved in the family business because she felt it confined her to one path. Veronica wanted to find her own way, and as a result she entered the realm of real estate, founding the Maoli Group. Eventually after exposure to the car business from her father, she was inspired by his work and took part in the family business. Veronica is an outstanding human who is unapologetically herself and a model of leadership within the business world and beyond. She exudes confidence and grace and her work ethic is beyond inspirational. As a woman entrepreneur and owner of multiple successful businesses within New Jersey, Veronica Maoli is a guiding light to all.

"Family-owned businesses thrive when they separate ownership decisions from operational meetings and create intentional boundaries between work and family life." - Amy WirtzIn this episode, host Kiley Peters dives into the complex world of family-owned businesses with the help of senior consultant Amy Wirtz from the Family Business Consulting Group. Together, they explore the unique challenges faced by those working in family businesses and the importance of tapping into the expertise of third parties to navigate these complexities.Amy shares her passion for helping families define their goals around their values, ownership, and financial wealth. She emphasizes the need for family members working together to separate their personal and professional relationships, treating each other as employees or owners in the workplace. By bringing their best manners into the business, they can avoid the pitfalls of treating each other as siblings or family members, which can lead to tension and unproductive communication.Another challenge Amy highlights is the need to hire and pay for qualifications rather than relationships. She encourages family-owned businesses to adopt a business-first mindset, making decisions based on the needs of the business rather than family dynamics. This approach not only strengthens the business but also makes it more attractive to non-family talent.Amy also delves into the complexities of intergenerational transitions and the sale of the business. She discusses the importance of educating the next generation about the business and preparing them for ownership. She suggests considering a combination of selling and gifting the business to the next generation, allowing them to have a sense of ownership and make their mark while respecting the legacy of the previous generation.Throughout the episode, Amy's passion for empowering people shines through. She loves seeing the transformations that occur when family-owned businesses embrace new knowledge and take ownership of their success. Her work is helping family-owned businesses create a legacy that lasts for generations to come.Quotes:"You have to remember that when you're in a family system, people tend to treat each other with, act in a way and communicate in a way where they know those relationships will exist typically no matter what they do. There's unconditional love, right? And that works in a family. It does not work in a business." (3:41 | Amy Wirtz) "It's invaluable to have a good team surrounding you, both in advisory systems and in leadership systems and to really consider governance at that point. So to look at how a board of advisors or a board of directors can assist your team and bring knowledge into it to assist it as it continues to grow. " (07:02 | Amy Wirtz)"Separate your meetings that you have with your employees from ownership decisions and make the time to have them. Even if you only do it every three months or every four months, have an hour set aside to talk about ownership stuff. Separate your ownership decision meetings from your operation meetings." (22:48 | Amy Wirtz)"When you are spending time with your family, spend time with your family. And that might mean that everybody that enters the room for dinner sets their cell phones in a basket and leaves work at the door. You will have a much happier rest of your family."

Understanding and managing your ego is essential for healthier interactions.Family Businesses and Ego: In family businesses, ego behaviors can become more pronounced due to the intertwined nature of work and personal life. Ego-driven conflicts and communication challenges can impact both the family and the business.Ego Types Aren't Gender-Specific: Ego types (controllers and compliers) are not limited to specific genders. Men and women can exhibit either ego type, and it's essential to avoid falling into gender-based stereotypes.Transparency Is Crucial: Transparent communication is vital within family businesses.

We can actually learn to work with it, manage it, and call it out as a team without getting someone defensive.""Perception is not truth, but it is reality.""It's most likely you're losing one person's value, and one or two of them are dominating over the vision and the plan.""As a leader, it's still just as bad. There's just as much drama that comes with that one. It just looks different.""When we start bringing our true selves and our ego dynamics to the table, we no longer get defensive and can have more meaningful conversations." - Christie Garcia"Ego management is a modern approach to leadership that can transform an organization's culture and productivity." - Christie Garcia"The beauty of learning and awareness is staying curious without judgment, allowing us to extract value from various sources." - Christie GarciaConnect with Christie Garcia and check out her work through the links below.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christiegarcia/Website: https://www.mindfulchoiceacademy.com/If you enjoyed today's episode, please subscribe, review, and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.

When it comes to family business succession, will dysfunction prevail? Eva Fischer was the chair of the family business, Brunata, one of Scandinavia's largest clean-tech companies, and at the helm during its turnaround.

How do you come to grips with your past to break the cycle of affliction (especially now that the cost of therapy surpasses your budget)? Can you restore trust to a relationship once infidelity and lies are introduced? Perhaps it's more important to wonder: Should you even try? Do you have legal recourse against a law firm that somehow leaked your personal information in an online data breach — although you never did business with them or gave them the info in the first place, and they refuse to answer your inquiries? [Thanks to attorney Corbin Payne for helping us with another sticky situation!] After running the family dojo during your stepfather's cancer treatment and his subsequent surprise departure, he's returned, accusing you and your mother of theft while poaching clients for his own dojo. Do you sever ties, pay the six figures he claims he's owed, or intervene on behalf of his seemingly slipping mental health? You joined your current company because of its values and mission to help people, but you've seen those values shift since the death of its founder.
