Timea shares insights from her research, including examples of organisations she interviewed such as a family business with three generations of failed successions, as well as her own lived experience of handovers.

Once I was asked to meet a vendor at a local diner...a diner like the one at the end of the movies Sideways. Complete with amber plastic tumblers.  IN walked one of the old time great wine slaesman with his wares in tow. I must have looked cross-eyed because I was sure he would not want to taste his wines here, at this diner. I was wrong and he did. This is when I learned how important the proper glass is when tasting or drinking wine. I guess some of us learn the hard way. Prepare to be absolutely amazed and inspired by this deep dive into the world of wine glasses and the family legacy behind Riedel, the world's oldest glass-producing company! In this fascinating episode of Wine Talks, host Paul K sits down with Maximilian Riedel, the charismatic 11th-generation leader of Riedel, and the conversation will forever change the way you think about what's in your glass. Maximilian reveals that it's the DNA of the grape that determines the shape of the glass—how cool is that? Wine glasses are not designed on computers or drawn out in some sterile lab; they're born through taste, smell, texture, and endless experimentation alongside renowned winemakers from the world's top regions. We learn that even the world's most iconic glasses, meticulously crafted over generations, owe their existence to a relentless process of trial and error and to the subtle, invaluable feedback from true wine experts. Who knew that glass shape could affect the way wine tastes so much? We're also treated to incredible stories—from how only the last three generations of the Riedel family fell in love with wine, to wild collaborations with everyone from Champagne houses to the tequila industry (yes, Riedel invented the first tequila-sipping glass, honored by the President of Mexico!). Maximilian opens up about following in his father and grandfather's footsteps, the influence of family, and how he's trying to inspire his own young kids to appreciate the culture and storytelling of wine and glassware. But the discussion doesn't stop at the glass itself. Paul and Maximilian explore broader wine culture—why restaurant wine pricing can be intimidating, the evolving language of wine, and why social media is so crucial for connecting with younger generations and spreading the joy and artistry of wine. This episode will make you want to rethink everything you know about wine tasting, glassware, and even the traditions and values that shape the way we drink. Maximilian's passion, humor, and eye-opening insights will leave you wanting to experience wine in a whole new way. If you've ever wondered whether the glass matters or are curious about the magical intersection of history, craftsmanship, and wine, this is a must-watch. Don't miss this journey into the artistry, science, and family stories that make every sip extraordinary! Riedel (Wine glass and decanter manufacturer) https://www.riedel.com Tiffany & Co.

"I think one of the biggest things to convey to anybody who wants to start a business is know what you're good at, know what you like, and know what you're not good at, and then outsource that. Because that's going to help get the business to where you wanna go." —Arielle Moody   Ever wonder if you're settling for “good enough” when you could be living—and choosing—so much better? If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the choices you make for your body, your business, or your family, this episode is your permission slip to trust your gut, question the status quo, and demand more from what you put on your skin and into your life. Arielle Moody, a seasoned beauty industry expert and co-founder of Mama Sol, turned her personal quest for safe, effective products into a thriving business that puts wellness and integrity first. Her journey from industry insider to innovative entrepreneur brings a fresh, no-nonsense perspective on why what's inside—both products and people—matters most. Hit play for a candid look at how intentional living, ingredient transparency, self-belief, and values-driven choices shape everything from entrepreneurship and family business to work-life balance, clinical testing, and creating wellness products that truly multitask.   Meet Arielle: While pregnant with her first child, shocked by how many toxic ingredients were lurking in everyday products, and after trying dozens of natural mineral sunscreens, Arielle was determined to create one that 1) didn't make her immediately want to wash her face, and 2) didn't leave a white cast on her skin. Oh, and it needed to be something she looked forward to using daily. No biggie. As Mama Sol's product development whisperer, Arielle has been immersed in the beauty industry her entire adult life. Starting as a beauty sales trainer for Smashbox, Dr. Perricone, and Bite Beauty, then rising to become the head of product development for Skinn Cosmetics and, most recently, the head of sales for a leading cosmetics packaging and formulation company, she's always known one thing—that she would one day create her own product, something truly different that had never been seen before.

The True Cost of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill on Family BusinessIn this episode of Fearless Family Business, Adam critically examines a recent piece of legislation—referred to as Donald Trump's 'One Big, Beautiful Bill'—that entails multi-trillion dollar tax cuts, program cuts, and spending increases. Adam argues that while some may benefit financially in the short term, the bill has dire long-term implications for family businesses and society as a whole. Key points include the exacerbation of the humanitarian crisis through increased immigration enforcement, the enlargement of the federal deficit, and the widening wealth gap. Adam advocates for investment in education, healthcare, and inclusion as essential pathways for sustainable economic prosperity and value creation. The episode underscores the need for family businesses to focus on innovation and long-term legacy rather than short-term gains.00:00 Introduction: The Big Beautiful Bill00:19 Why I Oppose the Bill01:46 Overview of the Legislation03:51 Impact on Social Programs and Defense Spending06:44 Humanitarian Crisis and Immigration Enforcement10:35 Deficit and Fiscal Responsibility22:06 Wealth Gap and Value Creation26:38 Conclusion: A Call to Action for Family Businesses

Neri Karra Sillaman is the embodiment of what it means to blend intellectual rigor with entrepreneurial grit. A refugee-turned-entrepreneur, she's the founder of Neri Kara, a luxury leather goods brand celebrating its 25th year—and she's also an academic with a PhD from Cambridge.In our conversation, Neri shared her incredible journey: from building a business with her family using discarded Italian leather, to walking away from it to pursue her true calling in academia. We talked about what it takes to run a successful family business, the importance of structure and clarity in leadership, and how the values of compassion and integrity shaped her leadership—largely inspired by her father.Neri discussed her experience as an immigrant and refugee, and how that shaped both her worldview and her work ethic. She made a powerful case for the unique contributions that immigrants bring to business and society—resilience, creativity, and an unmatched drive to build something better—not just for themselves, but for others.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.comnerikarrasillaman.comAdditional Guest Links:nerikarra.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/neri-karra-sillamanInstagram: @prof.neriAuthentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edp Podcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicSusan Cattaneo: susancattaneo.bandcamp.com

When I was approached by a PR firm to interview the Stephen and Jennifer McPherson, I gladly agreed not knowing a thing. Podcasts guests are not hard to find in the industry...but good podcasts guests...that is a different story. I am about the story. That is what I am pitching in the world of wine; innovation in marketing and packaging are important, but what is that innovation centered on? The story.  And here is a story, what started as a promise between spouses, became a reality and one that they, as many life changes perform, they wish they had started earlier. If you ever wondered what happens when a top entertainment exec swaps red carpets for rolling vineyards, Stephen and Jennifer McPherson's journey will uncork your imagination. On this episode, you'll hear firsthand how passion trumped the allure of Hollywood glitz, beckoning Stephen from ABC to the grape-stained heart of Napa Valley—all because of a vow made to Jennifer on the eve of their wedding. You'll be invited into the world of Promise Winery, a boutique operation run by this husband-and-wife team with just three employees and a steadfast commitment to staying small, authentic, and deeply personal. Get ready to learn what it takes to follow a dream in an industry that, while brimming with camaraderie and collaboration, is anything but easy. The McPhersons peel back the layers of their calling, sharing stories that reveal why wine is far more than a business—it's an expression of emotion, a vehicle for connection, and a labor of genuine love. You'll laugh at the tales of pigs, homemade prosciutto, and kitchen experiments, and come away touched by their philosophy that great wine is born not in boardrooms but through personal relationships, intention, and joy. As you listen, you'll pick up intimate details about wine's power to unite, the changing landscape of Napa, the eccentricities of wine marketing, and the importance of sticking to your values when trends and algorithms tempt you otherwise. This isn't just a tasting—it's a tour of the soul behind the bottle, with wisdom for anyone dreaming of a life built on what matters most.   Promise Winery Website: https://www.promisewine.com Wine of the Month Club Website: https://www.wineofthemonthclub.com Rombauer Vineyards Website: https://www.rombauer.com Goldman Sachs Website: https://www.goldmansachs.com Naked Wines Website: https://www.nakedwines.com Winc (formerly Club W) Website: https://www.winc.com Chateau Coutet Website: https://www.chateaucoutet.com Colgin Cellars Website: https://www.colgincellars.com   #WineTalks #PromiseWinery #NapaValley #WinePodcast #WineIndustry #WinePassion #WineStories #Winemaking #BoutiqueWinery #WineLovers #WineCommunity #WineExperience #WineTasting #FamilyBusiness #WineJourney #WineAndFood #WineEmotion #WineEducation #WineCulture #AuthenticWine #paulkalemkiarian #winetalkspodcast

We're excited to bring you a special cross-over episode from our friends at the 'Think Fast, Talk Smart' podcast. Host Matt Abrahams joined us and recorded this live session at the Stanford Seed Transformation Network Summit in Cape Town, exploring the authentic communication strategies that every entrepreneur needs to master.Real connection means understanding your audience, staying true to yourself, and creating space for others.How do you communicate who you are, what you stand for, and leave space for others to do the same? At the Stanford Seed Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, three Stanford Graduate School of Business professors explored why real connection is built through authentic communication.For Jesper Sørensen, authentic organizational communication means talking about a business in ways customers or investors can understand, like using analogies to relate a new business model to one that people already know. For incoming GSB Dean Sarah Soule, authentic communication is about truth, not trends. Her research on "corporate confession" shows that companies build trust when they admit their shortcomings — but only if those admissions connect authentically to their core business. And for Christian Wheeler, authentic communication means suspending judgment of ourselves and others. “We have a tendency to rush to categorization, to assume that we understand things before we really do,” he says. “Get used to postponing judgment.”In this special live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, host Matt Abrahams and his panel of guests explore communication challenges for budding entrepreneurs. From the risks of comparing yourself to competitors to how your phone might undermine genuine connection, they reveal how authentic communication — whether organizational or personal — requires understanding your audience, staying true to your values, and creating space for others to be heard.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“When you start to look at your family system through the lens of energy, you can finally see what's been hidden in plain sight.”In this powerful episode, I sit down with family systems specialist and spiritual mentor Kat Daou to unravel the unseen ancestral patterns that shape our behavior, beliefs, and emotional responses—often without us even realizing it. Kat's work is rooted in Family Constellation Therapy, and she brings such a grounded, insightful energy to this conversation.We dive into what it really means to do ancestral healing—not just intellectually, but at the soul level—and how these energetic patterns are often inherited, buried, and playing out in the background of our lives. Kat shares how she began to uncover the deeper roots of her own story and how her sensitivity became a superpower in both her personal and professional journey.If you've ever felt like you're carrying emotions or struggles that aren't fully yours, or noticed patterns repeating in your family no matter how much inner work you do, this conversation is going to land deeply. Healing ancestral trauma doesn't require blame—it requires awareness, curiosity, and a willingness to feel what's been unfelt for generations.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(01:40) Breathwork Retreat in Mexico(02:10) In today's episode...Kat Daou: A Journey to Family Constellation Therapy(02:44) The Minimorphosis: An Inner Child Healing Process(05:27) Kat's Personal Journey and Family Trauma(10:07) Understanding Ancestral Healing(14:09) Leaving the Family Business to Build a Personal Business(19:12) Balancing Spirituality and Business(21:51) Spiritual Psychosis and Grounded Spirituality(27:26) Healing from Divorce and Chaotic Relationships to Find Liberation(31:19) Understanding Emotional Connections(34:04) Express Yourself: Generational Evolution(42:58) The Importance of Belonging(49:50) Working with Kat**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.The Minimorphosis Learn my Simple 5 Step Inner Child Healing Process to dissolve the one core wound that slows down your growth. Core Wound Solution Private Podcast Join 1,000+ women discovering the real root of their stuckness— and how to shift it for good.

Who was the Bible really written to? In today's episode, hosts Richelle and Chris Alessi invite us to explore an often-overlooked question: who was the Bible originally meant for, and what does that mean for us today? Together, we'll discover how understanding the Bible's intended audience can help us apply scripture more faithfully to our own lives, drawing out one meaning with many applications.Let's look deeper into how God intended every word to reach through time, encouraging each of us—while reminding ourselves that context keeps our faith grounded and our hearts open to truth.Join our community today in prayer and devotion as we open God's word together, applying it with fresh confidence and hope.Want to get resources related to this episode?
