Christin Cardone McClave knows firsthand the complexities of leading and selling a multigenerational family business. Host Laurie Barkman talks with Christin about her journey of navigating leadership roles at her family's third-generation business, CARDONE Industries. During her tenure as Chief People Officer and COO, she helped the company reach an impressive $1B revenue milestone. In May 2019, she played a pivotal role in the successful sale of CARDONE Industries to a leading global private equity firm. With extensive experience spanning Johnson & Johnson, family governance, and business strategy, Christin offers actionable insights into the emotional and strategic aspects of selling a family business. This episode delves into her process, including overcoming challenges, embracing transitions, and building a fulfilling work-life outside of the family business. In addition to serving as a distinguished family business strategist, public speaker, and seasoned board member, Christin is also a “spousepreneur,” co-leading OrangeStar Ventures with her husband, managing diverse businesses and investments. Her passion for leadership, governance, and mentorship is evident through her work with organizations like World Vision USA and the PRAXIS Labs accelerator program. Takeaways: ~ Selling a family business is an emotional journey—coaches and mentors can be invaluable in navigating this process. ~ Building a legacy beyond the family business is possible through vision, resilience, and governance. ~ Preparing for a sale requires careful consideration of employees, business debt, estate planning, and family dynamics. ~ A non-family executive team can bring fresh perspectives to family-owned enterprises.

Practical Tips for Cultivating Curiosity Edwin discusses several actionable sales techniques to foster curiosity: Role-Playing in Sales: Regular role-play exercises on non-business topics can enhance one's questioning skills, which later translates into better business conversations.

Author Andy Crouch says that we're doing it all wrong—smartphones aren't giving us the life we're looking for. We asked him how to fix it, plus whether he'd ever own a robot dog. Andy is our first returning guest to Device & Virtue! This time, he joins us to talk about his new book, The Life We're Looking For. We take his ideas for a test drive, and run into everything from dishwashers and furnaces to Slack and electric cars. Plus, we ask Andy to resolve some arguments from past episodes. He weighs in on Ring doorbells, robot dogs, communion online, and AI art generators. His hot takes will keep you on your toes.

Andy adapts his analysis of instruments and devices from the work of philosopher Albert Borgmann, who first introduced “the device paradigm” in his 1984 book, Technology and the Character of Contemporary Life. Borgmann writes more about it in his newer book Power Failure. QUOTES FROM THE LIFE WE'RE LOOKING FOR "God and Mammon ... are precisely opposed to each other. God wishes to put all things into the service of persons and ultimately to bring forth the flourishing of creation through the flourshing of persons. Mammon wants to put all persons into the service of things and ultimately to bring about the exploitation of all creation." (p78) "So, rather than actually creating machines that understand the infinitely creative and complex world of human culture, we will find that it is far easier to create attenuated cultural environments that treat persons like machines."

We had an in-depth talk that touched upon the privilege of being a U.S. citizen (in the context of American society), the role of immigrant status in a career choice, being a Black queer male, and authenticity in the classroom and in the office. His insight opened my eyes to new forms of privilege and was intriguing to think about. And, he's just as funny as I remember. Our lively and complex conversation led me to emphasize the privilege of being able to follow your passion, what it means to be authentic, and the legacy one leaves when being authentic. .Dr. Christopher SewellDr. Christopher J.P.

No one plans to become a caregiver. And when they are thrust into this new role, family caregivers often don't know what they need help with or they fear asking for help because they don't want to be a burden.Especially when they have no idea if it's going to be nine days, nine months, or nine years.This leads to deep isolation and loneliness.Our guest, Jessica Kim, is the co-founder/CEO of ianacare – a health tech platform on a mission to encourage, empower, and equip family caregivers with practical tools, resources and communities, so no one does it alone. The platform leverages the powerful combination of technology + caregiver coaches to organize and mobilize all the layers of support.

In the face of disruption brought about by COVID 19, businesses throughout the world are finding ways to adjust not only for the sake of themselves, but for the sake of their communities. One of those businesses is Blue Delta Jeans, a clothing manufacturer in North Mississippi that is known for their high-end, custom blue jeans. When the pandemic became a reality in the United States, it forced Blue Delta CEO Josh West and his team to ask the question, “What's next?" The answer has brought about a transformation of their operations as they have transitioned much of their focus from clothing production to the production of face masks for frontline healthcare workers.Josh joins us in today's episode of The Weight to discuss his company's experience, socially conscious entrepreneurship, and his thoughts on how businesses leaders can find innovative ways to work toward the common good.Resources:Learn more about Josh's company Blue Delta Jeans here: https://www.bluedeltajeans.com/In this article from late March, Mississippi Today chronicles Blue Delta's transition from jeans production to masks.https://msbusiness.com/2020/03/blue-delta-shifting-from-jeans-production-to-masks/For Christian leaders working in the church, non-profit, and for-profit sectors, we've been paying attention to the work of Praxis Labs which focuses on redemptive entrepreneurship.

The team talks to Jon Hart, Partner at Praxis Labs about his work with Praxis Academy, a week-long on ramp into the Praxis community of redemptive entrepreneurs targeting the under 25. For 5 years, this organization has encouraged college-aged entrepreneurs to more actively view their aspirations within the context of their faith, impacting 750 people, from 160 universities and 20 countries. Reminiscent of and deeply influenced by the 18th century Clapham Group of England, Praxis seeks to encourage thought and action around changing culture by producing superior alternatives that are also redemptive in both for and non-profit arenas. Jon explains to us how Praxis Academy is adding to the sea of vocational “hero stories” that influence our career decisions, or using his term, “vocational imagination” that include a wholistic view of Christianity because it’s just missing. University business programs spin the stories of wild success and wealth as a natural part of its cultural lore but too often the Christian marketplace hero stories have been viewed as less compelling. Jon steps us through how Praxis Academy is righting that view with thought-provoking content that includes mentorship and community. He also shares with us a few of his favorite “hero stories” of academy alum. You don’t want to miss this episode! Redemptive entrepreneurship is an integral concept to us, here at Faith Driven Entrepreneur. We’d love to hear about your hero stories in this space, so please reach out to us at faithdrivenentreprenuer.org with your favorites.
