Family energy runs on trust, familiarity, and belonging. Business energy runs on clarity, systems, and accountability.

They come from decades of working with leaders and families who have built, broken, and rebuilt what matters most. They are lessons born from the fire, literally and figuratively, because just like walking on fire, leading your family business requires calm focus, courage, and unshakable belief.
