Legacy: Bringing Kids into the Business

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:01:03 — 61.2MB)

We were ready to discuss the legacy of your business, specifically bringing your kids onboard to someday run the company. Our original guest had to cancel at the last minute so we called out to the #Regulators and they showed up in a big way. We are so grateful for all of the offers to help and through that, we were able to find several people to join us. They made lemonade out of lemons! We will have a discussion with Lauren Fraley and Erik Mickelson to get all sorts of perspectives on this meaningful topic.
