Podcasts about Succession

What happens when the first generation won't let go?In this episode, we sit down with Nathan Smith to unpack one of the most common—and painful—challenges in the Buy Here Pay Here industry: dealership succession planning that goes sideways. Nathan shares his story of working for his father, being ready to take over, and watching it all fall apart when his dad wanted out but refused to structure a deal that actually worked.Then we flip the script. Nathan found a better path forward by partnering with a seasoned dealer who was ready to exit the right way. We break down how that transition happened, what the first 90 days looked like, the unexpected challenges (like inheriting a portfolio with short warranty terms), and why taking over an existing store with repeat customers changed everything. We cover:Why so many boomer-generation dealers can't exit successfullyThe real cost of trying to take 100% off the tableHow Nathan structured the buyout with a seasoned dealerManaging inherited customer relationships and portfolio riskThe power of starting with 47% repeat/referral businessWhy multiple rooftops aren't always the answerCollecting 98% of an inherited portfolio (and why that matters)If you're thinking about succession—whether you're the one trying to exit or the one trying to take over—this episode is required listening.Support the businesses that support the podcastBuckeye Risk ServicesReinsurance, tax planning, and long-term wealth strategies built specifically for independent dealers.https://www.buckeyerisk.comBlytzPayBuy Here Pay Here payment processing with fast funding, text-to-pay, and real dealer-focused support.https://www.blytzpay.comIturan GPSGPS and payment technology for BHPH and retail dealerships focused on asset protection, recovery tools, and customer management.https://www.ituranusa.comFollow & ConnectWebsite: https://www.theindependentdealer.comEmail: info@ependentdealer.comFacebook Group: @independentautogroupLuke Godwin: @lukegodwinJeff Watson: /sendtojeffwLike, subscribe, and share this episode with another dealer who needs a fresh perspective.

Disney CEO Bob Iger is ready to abdicate the throne. Again. Six years after Iger first stepped down as CEO, and 38 months after he regained control of Disney following Bob Chapek's disastrous two-year stretch, the succession planning committee is expected to announce the winner in “early 2026,” aka now. (Cue the Succession theme.) But even as the frontrunners have remained the same — it's still a presumed two-horse race between Disney Parks head Josh D'Amaro and Disney Entertainment co-chair Dana Walden — the world has rapidly changed. Disney has to contend with AI, a behemoth rival in a merged Netflix-Warner Bros., and a charged political environment. Which of these heavyweights lands the TKO? Would co-CEOs, à la Netflix, make sense? Elaine Low, Natalie Jarvey and Sean McNulty break it all down ahead of Disney's next earnings call. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Leaders in Living Rooms, host Sean Morgan sits down with Randy Frazee and Jonathan Hansen for an honest, in-the-middle conversation about church leadership succession. Drawing from their shared experience at Westside Family Church, Randy and Jonathan reflect on what makes succession healthy, why intentional overlap and trust matter, and how culture, governance, humility, and love shape long-term success. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the real tensions, decisions, and relational work required when leadership changes hands and why succession is not the end of leadership, but its fulfillment. Welcome to Episode 151 of the Leaders in Living Rooms Podcast with Sean Morgan.

Family-owned enterprises are the cornerstone of Asia's economy, contributing roughly 70 percent of GDP and employing over 60 percent of the workforce in some markets. Much more than just commercial entities, these firms are deeply embedded into the social fabric and are typically driven by long-term vision and entrepreneurial stewardship.In this edition of “The INSEAD Perspective: Spotlight on Asia” podcast series, Sameer Hasija, Dean of Asia at INSEAD, asks Bala Vissa, Professor of Entrepreneurship and Family Enterprise, for his thoughts on the status of family businesses in the region, the challenges that are currently reshaping their future and how family offices may be one solution to navigating these complexities. From bridging the success gap to tackling the rise of AI and ongoing digital transformation this wide- ranging conversation also explores how INSEAD is playing an important role in tackling this period of disruption and helping family businesses see it as an opportunity. Through workshops and programmes, INSEAD is connecting family firms to private equity and allowing both sides to better understand how they can work together to foster resilient growth and long-term success in today's rapidly changing global environment.

Vance's Links:WebsiteYouTubeApple PodcastsRecorded at the Ag View Executive Business Conference, we sit down with Vance Crowe (Legacy Interviews, The Vance Crowe Podcast) to talk about the hardest part of any farm transition, family communication. Vance shares practical ways to help people actually think out loud, ask better “how” questions without triggering defensiveness, and create real trust by giving someone your full attention. We also dig into how to make space for the quiet person in the room (and why drawing the idea can change everything), plus Vance's “switching the observer” concept for staying self-aware when emotions run hot. We close with Vance's Peter Thiel paradox question, and a conversation-starter take on Bitcoin, land, and inflation.

With Tim Krueger, Co-Founder and Partner at Krueger, Fosdyck, Brown, McCall & Associates – New Edge Advisors, LLC Overview For many advisors, the real question isn't how big the business becomes—but what happens next. This episode explores how Tim Krueger and his $1.4B Merrill team rethought succession, liquidity, and legacy to create long-term continuity.

About this episode… For many advisors, success is defined by growth: more clients, more assets, more revenue. But at some point, the question shifts from, “How big can we build this?” to “What happens next?” After nearly two decades at Merrill, Tim Krueger and his partners had built a $1.4B practice and one of the most successful teams in their market. By any traditional measure, the internal sunset path would have been the simplest option. But simplicity wasn't the goal. Protecting clients, creating opportunities for the next generation, and preserving the culture they had built mattered more. That led Tim and his partners to make a very different decision: to break away from the wirehouse, sell out of that environment entirely, and align with NewEdge Advisors in a way that solved for succession, liquidity, and long-term continuity—simultaneously. In this conversation with Louis Diamond, Tim shares how focusing on other people's needs – clients, teammates, and future leaders – became the ultimate growth strategy. Plus, they discuss: Lessons learned over nearly two decades at Merrill—and how structure, team building, and next gen cultivation become paramount. Stepping away from Merrill's CTP retire-in-place program—and what other business owners shared with him that inspired the decision to leave the wirehouse. Opting to align with NewEdge Advisors—and how liquidity and continuity were key factors. “Shrinking to grow”—and why it isn't just a portfolio philosophy, but a business one. Monetizing the business—and how the process can be a new beginning for the business, not an end for the business owners. Building a true runway for G2 and G3—and how it can create a rare win-win-win for founders, teams, and clients alike. It's a candid look at what life after a wirehouse can unlock—and how thinking differently about succession can redefine both legacy and fulfillment.

I first got to know Soraya Chabarek the way many relationships now begin: entirely on screen. Meeting in person was different. As Soraya notes in this episode, technology accelerates access, but it can't replace human connection — a belief that has shaped how she invests, leads, and builds organizations. That philosophy sits at the heart of her work as president and CEO of Manulife CQS Investment Management, and it frames one of the hardest problems in asset management: succession. Hedge funds, in particular, tend to live and die by star portfolio managers. Soraya explains why she never believed you could truly “succession-plan” a single person — and instead thought about how teams could be designed to outlast any one individual.She traces that thinking back to the earliest chapters of her career, where mentors emphasized education over selling, long-term relationships over transactions, and a deep respect for risk. We talk about her path through the hedge fund world, what she learned from some of the legends in the industry, and why there are still too few women in the ranks and leadership. “A village needs to come together” to changes things, she says. From there, the conversation turns more technical. Soraya breaks down how CQS institutionalized itself over time and built scale across multi-asset credit, structured credit, and regulatory capital strategies. She explains why European credit has quietly delivered stronger risk-adjusted returns, and how complexity — when properly understood — can create durable return premiums.As the industry continues to consolidate, Soraya talks about what she looked for in a partner in the 18 months leading up to CQS's acquisition by Manulife. With the industry littered with failed asset management acquisitions, Soraya addresses the importance of culture, and how to identify a good one. The result, Soraya argues, is a rare balance: remaining a boutique credit specialist while gaining the stability, distribution, and patient capital of a global insurer. This is a wide-ranging conversation about how judgment actually shows up — in people, in markets, and in building institutions.

What if building wealth was not about money but about the life and impact you leave behind? Morgan Nichols believes legacy is not something you build at retirement. It is something you create every day through intentional decisions, values-based planning, and clarity around what truly matters. In this episode of Grow Your Business & Grow Your Wealth, Gary Heldt sits down with Morgan Nichols, CEO and Private Wealth Advisor of LifeBranch Wealth Partners, for a powerful conversation about intentional legacy, business ownership, succession planning, and the emotional side of financial decision-making. Morgan shares her journey into leadership, stepping into business ownership at 31 during one of the most volatile financial markets in modern history. She explains why real financial planning goes far beyond portfolio management and why business owners need coaching, clarity, and long-term strategy to build wealth with purpose. This episode is a masterclass in intentional growth, values-driven success, and creating a legacy that lasts for generations. Five Key Takeaways  - Legacy is built through daily decisions, not just financial outcomes True wealth is measured by the values you live by and the impact you create along the way.  - Business owners need a coach, not just an advisor The best financial planning goes deeper than statements and portfolios. It provides holistic guidance and decision support.  - Intentional planning replaces uncertainty with clarity Strategic planning removes the fog of uncertainty and gives business owners confidence in their future.  - Succession and contingency planning protect your family and your business Preparing for the unexpected ensures your family is protected and your business continues smoothly.  - There is no perfect balance. Only priorities Life is about choosing which priority takes the front seat in each season. Featured Quote “When you have an intentional legacy, it is realizing that all the money in the world does not necessarily add meaning to one's life. It is really all the decisions that you make along the way.” - Morgan Nichols If you are a business owner or professional who wants to build wealth with purpose and create a legacy that lasts, this episode is for you.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Ed sits down with Tom Wallace of Kopplin, Kuebler & Wallace to unpack why governance often breaks down during leadership transitions at private clubs. Drawing from his experience facilitating hundreds of board retreats, Tom shares a clear benchmark: only about 25% of clubs have governance truly dialed in. The conversation explores stewardship versus short-term decision-making, the importance of structure over personality, and how written systems, succession planning, and member communication protect a club's mission, vision, and values. It's a grounded, practical discussion on how strong governance is built intentionally and sustained over time. Key Moments: Why only a quarter of clubs are truly prepared Tom explains how clubs tend to fall into three groups: those with governance fully structured, those actively working toward it, and those stuck in a cycle of dysfunction where each new president resets priorities. Stewardship over "leaving a mark" The conversation highlights how strong presidents think like stewards, focused on long-term health rather than personal projects or visible wins during their term. A leadership lesson from Arnold Palmer Tom shares a story from his time at Oakmont that shaped his philosophy on leadership: clubs existed long before any one leader and will continue long after, making long-term thinking essential. When governance goes wrong, it shows up physically An example of a clubhouse filled with rooms named after past presidents illustrates what happens when guardrails are missing and decisions are made in isolation. The intersection of member culture and staff culture Tom explains that the strongest clubs are built where member culture and team culture align, and why governance plays a critical role in keeping those cultures connected. Early warning signs of governance drift Ignoring data, lacking a strategic plan, or focusing on short-term issues are all indicators that governance may be quietly eroding before problems surface publicly. Why structure protects everyone From strategic business plans to board policy manuals and orientations, Tom outlines the written systems that stabilize clubs through leadership transitions. "If it's not written down, it doesn't exist" A Ritz-Carlton principle reinforces why documentation and clarity are essential, not bureaucratic, in complex organizations like private clubs. Governance as guardrails, not handcuffs Tom compares good governance to bumper bowling: it doesn't guarantee perfect outcomes, but it prevents leaders from sending the club off course. How to spot a strategic board What boards talk about matters. Strategy, capital planning, and long-term direction signal health; operational minutiae signal trouble. Succession planning as a leadership responsibility Strong clubs know who their future presidents are well before transitions happen, creating continuity rather than disruption. Committees as the leadership pipeline Tom explains why committees should serve as the proving ground for future board members, with performance and collaboration guiding recruitment. Younger members and the owner mindset The episode explores how clubs must intentionally teach stewardship and volunteer expectations during member onboarding to avoid transactional relationships. Why board retreats accelerate alignment Tom closes by sharing how retreats create self-awareness, clarity, and a realistic multi-year roadmap, reinforcing that good governance is a process, not a one-time fix.

In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy sits down with Ken Doll, Senior Financial Planner, for a practical and honest conversation about farm succession in today's reality. With rising land values, multiple heirs, and more off-farm career paths than ever before, farm transition planning has become increasingly complex. Together, Tracy and Ken walk through real-world scenarios farm families face, unpack the challenge of being cash poor and asset rich, and explain why life insurance and financial planning are often the missing link in protecting both the farm and family relationships. The goal of this episode is clarity, confidence, and encouragement — helping farm families move from overwhelm to action.

What does it take to build a high-stakes litigation firm that wins without Big Law scale while staying lean, values-driven, and firmly in control of its future? Chris Batz and Howard Rosenberg speak with Natasha Harrison, founder and managing partner of Pallas Partners, about what it takes to rethink the traditional law firm model from the ground up. Natasha shares why she left Big Law to build a focused litigation boutique rooted in senior judgment, clarity, and results rather than size or leverage. The conversation challenges the assumption that growth and prestige come from scale, offering a sharper view of what sophisticated clients actually value today. At the heart of the discussion is deliberate design. Natasha explains why culture must be set from day one and why discipline around growth protects both people and performance. They explore the tension between expansion and identity, raising thoughtful questions about limits, leadership, and the risks of drifting into the middle ground between boutique and Big Law. The takeaway is clear: focus is a strategic advantage. The episode closes with a forward-looking perspective on leadership and longevity. Natasha reflects on resilience, trust, and building a firm that can thrive beyond its founder, while Chris and Howard draw out insights on technology, succession planning, and the changing definition of success in law. Change is inevitable, and those who lead with intention are best positioned for what comes next.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Rethinking the Big Law Model 02:39 Designing Culture in a Boutique Firm 09:05 Resilience and Entrepreneurial Leadership 11:50 What Sophisticated Clients Value 14:02 High-Stakes Litigation in Volatile Markets 16:55 Technology and the Future of Legal Teams 22:10 Leadership, Succession, and Longevity Connect with Natasha Harrison: Connect with Natasha on LinkedIn Natasha's Company Web Profile Connect with Howard Rosenberg: Connect with Howard on LinkedIn Howard's Company Web Profile   Connect with Chris Batz: Connect with Chris on LinkedIn  Follow Columbus Street on LinkedIn Columbus Street Website  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Greg Alba & Roxy Striar react to Interview with the Vampire Season 1, Episode 1 — “In Throes of Increasing Wonder”, the haunting premiere of AMC's bold reimagining of Anne Rice's iconic gothic vampire saga. This opening episode reframes the classic story through a modern lens, blending lush atmosphere, psychological intimacy, and moral horror. The series begins in present-day Dubai, where journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian – Talk Radio, Succession) resumes his decades-later interview with the elegant yet deeply haunted vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson – Game of Thrones, Broadchurch). Louis recounts his human life in early 20th-century New Orleans, exploring themes of race, desire, faith, and isolation before his fateful encounter with the mesmerizing and terrifying Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid – The Newsreader, Lambs of God). Their first meeting, charged with seduction and menace, leads to one of the episode's most talked-about moments: Lestat's predatory courtship and the brutal, transformative act that binds Louis to immortality. Highly searched and standout moments from the premiere include Louis's emotional confessions during the interview, the opulent New Orleans nightlife sequences, Lestat's chilling introduction and philosophy on vampirism, and the shocking violence that seals Louis's fate. With its rich production design, daring reinterpretation, and magnetic performances, “In Throes of Increasing Wonder” establishes Interview with the Vampire as a bold, sensual, and tragic reinvention of Anne Rice's legendary world.

In episode 272, Carl and Josh crack open The Aranthian Succession - Cinderak Burning, the opening salvo in a multi-episode series exploring how Necromunda's story is being pulled forward and woven more tightly into the modern Warhammer 40,000 timeline. This book doesn't just advance the plot—it reshapes the balance of power in the underhive, and sets the stage for a sector-wide reckoning that longtime lore fans will immediately feel. In the first half of the show, we focus squarely on the narrative: the political upheaval of the Aranthian Succession, the rising tensions within Hive Primus, and what the burning of Cinderak means for the future of Necromunda, and its place in the wider Imperium. This is classic Necromunda storytelling, but told with a sharper eye toward the present 40K era, bridging gaps and modernizing the setting. The back half of the episode shifts gears into the tabletop, breaking down the rules updates, campaign systems, and new tools this book brings to Necromunda players. Whether you're running a long-form campaign or just curious how these changes impact the game going forward, we've got you covered. And while Adan wasn't available for this episode, don't panic! His return is imminent.

2026-01-16 | UPDATES #102 | Kadyrov's Mafia Dynasty Wobbles. Car crash, failing kidneys and a gunfight in Mariupol – this episode has it all – intriguing, violence and drama. This is a dangerous time for Putin – a failed succession process in Chechnya could cause massive problems for him, and regime instability. The Kadyrov clan is wobbling, their brand is faltering, and Moscow is watching in trepidation. Chechnya's ruler Ramzan Kadyrov is back at the centre of a storm of health rumours — kidney failure, dialysis, “hospitalized in Moscow,” succession panic — while his 18-year-old son Adam, the one being groomed like a crown prince, is reportedly in serious condition after a motorcade crash in Grozny. (RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty) All a coincidence? We must be wary to jump to that conclusion, as freak accidents that occur to the powerful and influential in both Moscow and Grozny rarely turn out to be coincidental. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: RFE/RL (North Caucasus Service), Jan 16, 2026 — Adam Kadyrov hospitalized after crash; sources on ICU/roads/“barrier”; NIYSO “obstacle” claim.

“Nepo baby” is an easy label to apply to anyone who joins a family business. What we rarely talk about is the pressure to prove yourself and the effort it takes to be taken seriously. This week on SUPERWOMEN, we sat down with Avery Hale Smith, Chief Experience Officer at Backroads, to talk about the experience of working inside a family business. Avery opens up about the challenge of stepping into a company with such a rich legacy. Avery reveals how she navigated Backroads through the chaos of COVID, when everything was falling apart, and how she rebuilt the company from the ground up. From handling massive layoffs to keeping the business alive with no roadmap, she learned that surviving crises takes a whole lot of grit.  Episode Guide: (00:00) Meet Avery Hale Smith, Chief Experience Officer at Backroads (01:44) What is Backroads?

She wasn't a pawn — Lady Jane Dudley was shaped by power, politics and purposeFor centuries she has been remembered as Lady Jane Grey: the tragic, passive “Nine Days' Queen.” - But what if that story is wrong?In this episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by historian and author Dr Joanne Paul to rage against one of Tudor history's most persistent myths — the erasure of Lady Jane Dudley and the deliberate sidelining of the Dudley dynasty from her story.This conversation dismantles the idea of Jane as a helpless victim of ruthless men and instead reveals a highly educated, politically aware young woman who understood exactly what the Tudor succession crisis meant — and what it might cost her. Drawing on contemporary evidence, Dr Paul explores Jane's agency, intelligence and religious conviction, and explains why the Dudleys became convenient scapegoats once Mary I reclaimed the throne.As the discussion widens, the episode exposes the brutal realities of Tudor power: shifting loyalties, manufactured villainy, and the dangerous fiction of “legitimate” succession. From Edward VI's handwritten Device for the Succession to the execution of John Dudley and the astonishing rehabilitation of Robert Dudley under Elizabeth I, this is a deep dive into how dynasties rise, fall — and rise again.Crucially, this episode also restores women to the centre of the narrative. From Jane Dudley herself to Jane, Duchess of Northumberland, the Dudley women emerge as formidable political operators whose influence shaped events long after the axe fell.If you think you know the story of Lady Jane Grey, this episode will change your mind.Key themes exploredWhy “Lady Jane Grey” is a historical misnomerJane Dudley's education, intellect and political awarenessThe Dudley family's central role in the Tudor succession crisisEdward VI's intentions — and misconceptions — about successionScapegoating, propaganda and Tudor myth-makingThe power and resilience of Dudley womenRobert Dudley's improbable rise at Elizabeth I's courtWhat the Dudleys reveal about loyalty, ambition and survival in Tudor EnglandFestival Info:The Katherine of Aragon Festival Talks are on January 31st and February 1st 2026 at Peterborough Cathedral:Tickets are available at: https://peterborough-cathedral.org.uk/about/history/katharine-of-aragon/kofa_26/ About the guestDr Joanne Paul is a historian, writer and public historian specialising in Tudor politics, power and reputation.

What happens when building wealth stops being about returns and starts being about purpose? In this episode of Grow Your Business & Grow Your Wealth, Gary Heldt sits down with Tiffany Irving, Senior Vice President and Wealth Advisor at Mesirow Wealth Management. With more than 25 years of experience, Tiffany explains why modern wealth management must go beyond investments and focus on holistic planning, collaboration, and long-term impact. The conversation dives into exit planning for business owners, common mistakes made when selling a company, the emotional side of succession, and why financial planning should start far earlier than most people think. Tiffany also shares insights on financial literacy, debt management, and the growing importance of purpose-driven investing. Key Takeaways→ Wealth management today is about integrating investments, tax planning, estate planning, and personal goals.→ Business owners should begin exit planning three to five years before selling to maximize value and reduce taxes.→ A collaborative advisory team creates better outcomes than siloed advice.→ Succession planning must address both financial readiness and emotional identity shifts.→ Financial planning is not just for the wealthy and is most powerful when started early. Quote from Tiffany “Wealth management is no longer just about performance. It's about purpose, values, and the impact you want your money to have.” If you are a business owner thinking about growth, succession, or long-term financial clarity, this episode is a must-listen.

Three Monarchs - 13 Days - One Crown   In July 1553, England experienced one of the most volatile succession crises of the Tudor period. In just thirteen days, the crown passed from a dying teenage king, to a proclaimed queen who would never be crowned, and finally to Mary I, who became England's first crowned queen regnant. This video offers a clear, step-by-step guide to the events of that summer, explaining how and why the succession unravelled so rapidly. It explores Edward VI's decision to rewrite the succession, the proclamation of Lady Jane Grey, and Mary's determined response, which transformed a disputed claim into an uncontested victory. Rather than focusing on myth or hindsight, this documentary examines what contemporaries believed was at stake in 1553, religion, legitimacy, and the stability of the realm, and how decisions made in the final weeks of Edward VI's life shaped England's future.

La serie más infravalorada de HBO vuelve con su mejor temporada hasta la fecha: más oscura, más intensa y más política. Harper y Yasmin están en lados opuestos, el poder se reparte a codazos, y el nuevo villano no da respiro. ¿Qué pasa cuando los jóvenes que antes sobrevivían al sistema... ahora lo controlan? Si te gustó Succession, Euphoria o Billions, esta cuarta temporada de Industry te va a enganchar desde el primer minuto. Aquí no hay espacio para la inocencia, solo para sobrevivir en un mundo donde todo —y todos— están en venta.

Cette série d'épisodes a été initialement diffusée en septembre 2024. Nous avons souhaité le rediffuser aujourd'hui, mais certains éléments sont à remettre dans le contexte de la diffusion.Dans la famille Trump, je demande les enfants, Ivanka, Tiffany, Donald Jr, Eric et Barron. Oui, Donald Trump a assuré sa descendance, et avec trois femmes différentes, Ivana, Marla, et Melania. Ses cinq enfants ? Ils ont tous été élevés en mode Gossip Girl sur la 5e avenue à New York, dans une tour de 58 étages à leur nom, Trump. Ils ont ensuite grandi façon Dallas, son univers impitoyable, et leur vie aujourd'hui ressemble plutôt à…Succession. Dans ce deuxième épisode de la saga Trump, consacrée à la vie privée de Donald, je vais m'attarder sur chacun d'entre eux, même les moins connus, même les plus énigmatiques. Je vais vous dire où ils en sont aujourd'hui, et quelle relation a Donald avec eux. Alors quel genre d'enfant est-on quand on naît avec du sang Trump dans les veines ? Et par extension, quel genre d'adulte devient-on ? Et puis surtout, c'était quel genre de père, Donald ? Au micro de Marion Galy-Ramounot se succèdent :Gabriel Sherman,  journaliste et scénariste du film The ApprenticeDavid Cay Johnston, journaliste d'investigation, auteur de plusieurs livres sur Donald TrumpPierre Monégier, rédacteur en chef adjoint d'Envoyé spécial sur France 2 Scandales est un podcast de Madame Figaro, écrit et présenté par Marion Galy-Ramounot, et produit par Lucile Rousseau-Garcia.

Today's episode is a little different, in a really wonderful way. I sit down with Dick Schwartz and Jeanne Catanzaro, President and Vice President of the IFS Institute, and partners in both leadership and life. This isn't a traditional interview; it's more like listening in on friends and colleagues talking about the things they care about, the serious, the personal, and the very human. I've been feeling curious about what's happening inside IFS leadership right now. The model keeps growing, reaching more people, and carrying more responsibility with it. I wanted to hear directly from Dick and Jeanne about what that growth and momentum have been like for them, not just in terms of roles and plans, but personally and as partners. In this candid conversation, we explore questions many of you have been holding. What happens as the Institute grows? Is Dick going to retire? What does transition even look like? We talk about all of that, but in a funny, sometimes ridiculous, and very real way. What I hope you hear is the care, thoughtfulness, and humanity behind the scenes of both the IFS Institute and the IFS model. We talk about: Jeanne stepping into leadership and visibility over time What it means to steward a model that's bigger than any one person Succession, responsibility, and caring for the future of IFS Collaboration and "sharing the stage" Knowing when to take a break from "parts talk" Bringing IFS beyond the therapy room and into the wider world Holding research, spirituality, and accessibility at the same time Finding balance between work, partnership, family, and rest Favorite shows, hobbies, and Firefighter behaviors There's a lot of warmth here, some laughter, a little potty talk, and plenty of insight.
