Passing Down Values in the Family Business, with Anthony Chen, Host of Family Business Radio

Family Business Radio host Anthony Chen references a poignant scene from the movie Inception to underscore the significance of sustaining and passing down family values in the business.

Anthony’s commentary was taken from this episode of Family Business Radio. Family Business Radio is underwritten by Anthony Chen with Lighthouse Financial Network.

Transcript

Then, as we’re closing out the show with what’s called Anthony’s Financial Corner here, that’s going to be really hard for me to top these two. So I guess I would just piggyback on the answers with a little bit of a twist, as Andrea was sharing her insights when it comes to the children having their own individual identity and defining the financial planning corner and having that succession discussion.

I can’t help but heaing that, I’m going to steal or probably butcher the line from the movie for those who might be familiar with a movie called Inception at the very end. Where the son was in that kind of hospital deathbed of his father, and he took out that picture and he took out that little flower pinwheel.

And the line was, Yes, I know I’ve disappointed you because I can’t be you. To which the fake father responded by saying, I’m disappointed because you tried. So as a part of World Wisdom for the next gen, your parents are your parents, but as you are running and finding your values, the values that you’re going to hold could be work ethic, could be doing the right thing always, no matter what the cost for the client or something that’s very critical to the family itself that makes the family business successful.

That doesn’t always have to be translated to the exact same business. It could go from plumbing to let’s say HVAC or maybe mechanic work or maybe your law work. But if the absolute value of the family is a strong work ethic, you can have the same strong work ethic in other fields. But it’s got to be a passion that the next generation has passion for.

So if the conversation, again, comes down to communication, what the values are, it could simply be a shift of selling family business, a.) Pass that torch to someone else who will share that same value for business and give the next gen having that same value to a new business venture or business b.), doesn’t have to be the exact same thing, so expand one’s mind when preserving family value and a real asset.

Net worth is the value itself. That’s something no attorney, no accountant, not even myself, the financial planner, can really do the hard job of, that’s going to be a conversation that comes of communication. Values from parents or grandparents to the next generation. Thank you for listening in to Family Business Radio.

Don’t Run Your Business Without These Two Things, with Bill McDermott, Host of ProfitSense

In this commentary from a recent episode of ProfitSense, Bill talks about two things you shouldn’t neglect as you run your business.

Bill’s commentary was taken from this episode of ProfitSense.

ProfitSense with Bill McDermott is produced by John Ray and the North Fulton Studio of Business RadioX® in Alpharetta.

Transcript

I want to take a moment now to talk about “don’t run your business without these two things.” And today I want to talk about the two things that you should never When our company is growing, sometimes we hire people that don’t share our core values or core focus.

These people may behave in a way that we don’t understand because it’s not who we are. We’ve all heard the quote, “if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.” Early in my coaching meetings with clients, it’s critical to find out what they stand for, even if it means taking a loss in their company.

I also had to determine what my core values were when I started The Profitability Coach 15 years ago. So when you’re running a business, it’s crucial to first decide on your core values. Some of mine are adaptability, empathy, and being strategic. If you’ve never done this exercise before, I encourage you to take some time to determine what you stand for and hire people who believe in the same things you do. You may even think about developing a core value speech that you share with each person that you’re thinking about hiring.

Second thing is we must choose perseverance. Very early in my life, when didn’t want to do homework for school. My dad told me anything worth doing. Is worth doing well.

Studies show that perseverance is an essential quality for success in life. It often tops aptitude and raw talent and is a more accurate predictor of success in life. When I was laid off at 54 years old, after 32 successful years in banking, I started The Profitability Coach at the height of the great recession with one idea in mind. I had a dream to make business owners, better financial managers of their businesses. 15 years later, I would not be where I am today without choosing perseverance.

So if you’re a business owner or CEO, make sure you’re not operating without these two things.

Esther Bailey-Bass, EBB ‘n Flow Lifestyle | Leadership Coaching, LLC (Hello, Self… Episode 19)

Esther Bailey-Bass, Founder and CEO of EBB ‘n Flow Lifestyle | Leadership Coaching, joined Patricia on this episode. Esther described the nudges and intuition that led her into coaching, how she experiences that inner voice, her approach to coaching, and several pivotal life experiences with “Hello, Self” moments. This lovely conversation is full of wisdom and warmth.

Hello, Self… is presented by Patricia Leonard & Associates and produced by Arlia Hoffman in association with the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX®.

EBB ‘n Flow Lifestyle | Leadership Coaching, LLC

Esther believes that everyone is a leader, and as a leader you have the capacity to empower and influence those you live and work with.

However, to OWN your leadership you must follow your personal guidance system, which is a function of your core values and beliefs.

Esther uses warm, calm, gentle, support to get you where you need to go. No yelling here, no ultimatums, unless necessary, just the perfectly timed nudges you need to help you:
◦ Honor and trust your instincts
◦ Align with, articulate and live your values
◦ Rebuild your self-esteem and confidence
◦ Shift your internal dialogue from a frantic mindset to a calm and reflective one
◦ Show up in your relationships and work from a more empowered, engaged and authentic place

Esther guides her clients through a process of self-discovery, awakening them to the agile leader within.

They reconnect to what is most important and learn to lead with integrity, confidence, and authenticity.

Esther Bailey-Bass, ACC, CPCC, Founder and CEO, EBB ‘n Flow Lifestyle | Leadership Coaching, LLC

Before her journey as a coach, she was disconnected from her core values and out of alignment with herself. She was “phoning it in” day after day. She was miserable and felt disrespected, undervalued, and unappreciated.

It wasn’t until she began to question herself, asking “is this what I want to do until I retire?” The voice inside screamed “NO!”. That’s when Esther began her journey into self-exploration.

During her search, her level of dissatisfaction and discomfort grew. Her values were not being honored anywhere by anyone, including herself. In fact, her disconnection from her values didn’t surface until she attended her very first coach training course. Until that time, she continued to suffer. Anger became her go-to emotion because she felt empty, devoid of creativity, self-expression, fulfillment, or purpose. There was a chasm so deep and wide she could hardly recognize her true self.

Esther began exploring options for a future self. She talked to family, friends, colleagues, asking, “How do you see me?” Much of what they offered didn’t hit the mark and she continued to explore. She asked herself what she liked to do as a young woman. She had reached a point of deep personal inquiry, and it led her to coaching.

Once she found her calling, everything fell into place. The voice she thought she’d lost was emerging. she began to challenge authority, to question decisions and offer her insight. No more playing “good girl”, dotting “i’s” or crossing “t’s”. It was messy and she was there for it.

Today she’s different, and she cares less. She cares less about controlling others and their outcomes. She care sless about being in spaces where she’s not welcomed.

Esther embraces simplicity, nourishment, sensuality, sisterhood, service, and more love. She senses that in each one of us there’s a calling for acceptance and true belonging, free from the burden of self-hatred and tolerations. A “welcome home” sign if you will.

PEAK – LOVE: Values and Cultural Alignment Chat With Peak Fleet and Source Global E7

We are so thankful to have Sidnee Peck, from Source Global, and Brian Stinson, from Peak Fleet on the podcast. We were able to go a little deeper in the conversation around values, alignment, and company culture being intentional.

Sidnee talks about how their CEO and Founder, Cody Friesen, was very intentional about growing the strong company culture from day one. A company culture needs to be both organic and intentional and that is truly what he has tried to do. This intentionality starts during the hiring process with making sure that each hire truly is the best fit. Sidnee even discusses an example where there was a company hire that was brought on and shortly after it was revealed that the person was not the best fit. Sometimes it can be better to leave the seat empty instead of filling it with the wrong fit.

Brian brings expertise to the table from his background and experience working with Intel, to the position he holds now as the Culture Engineer with Peak Fleet (we love that title name). He has worked with many companies, from start ups to larger organizations, to help build and develop their values which allowed for a very fluid conversation with Sidnee. There was so much to talk about and definitely not enough time- there will have to be a part two to this conversation.

This episode is great for any listener and we really mean that. We talked about values, cultural alignment, misalignment, growing culture intentionally and organically, working together on a purpose and mission, having inspirational leaders at the forefront, growing a cultural legacy through storytelling and more. This conversation is for both leaders at the top and employees striving to grow to the top. At the end of the day, culture is not one size fits all. It can be difficult at times, but it is not rocket science.

About Culture Crush

Culture Crush is officially relaunched! We are thankful to Debra Caron who launched and hosted the show originally. Culture Crush is back with a new host but the same focus- highlighting what makes a great company culture and how it affects the overall success of a company.

Culture is not just a tag word to be thrown around. It is not something you throw in job descriptions to draw people to applying for jobs within a company.

According to Marcus Buckingham and Ashely Goodall in their book Nine Lies About Work, “Culture is the tenants of how we behave. It’s like a family creed. This is how we operate and treat each other in the family.”

On this long form podcast we will highlight companies local to Arizona and beyond that are crushing it with great culture!

We will talk with company leaders to learn about real-life experiences, tips, and best practices for creating a healthy work environment where employees are finding joy and satisfaction in their work while also striving and growing within the company.

About the Host

Kindra Maples is your new host taking the lead on the relaunch of Culture Crush! She is spartan racer, past animal trainer, previous magician’s assistant, and has a weakness for Oreo cookie shakes. Her journey working with people actually started working with animals as a teenager (don’t worry we won’t go that far back for her bio).

She worked for over 15 years in the zoo industry working with animals and the public. Her passion of working with animals shifted into working with people in education, operations and leadership roles. From there her passion of leadership and helping people develop has continued to grow.

Then came the opportunity for relaunching the Culture Crush Podcast and she jumped on it. Leadership, growth, and strong company cultures are all areas that Kindra is interested in diving into further.

Shout Outs

We want to thank a few people for their behind the scenes effort in helping this relaunch to come to life.

Creating Workplaces Where We All Watch Out for Each Other

Jeremy Neis is an Investment Advisor with Retirement Evolutions and a small business operator fueled by the desire to enrich the life experience. He grew up in the Chicago area and chased the sun to get a degree at the University of Arizona in human and organizational communications. After doing so, he returned to Illinois where over the next 15 years he would find joy in co-launching and growing a technology solutions company and establishing a family.

In 2014 he returned to the desert to join his current venture, Retirement Evolutions, where his focuses are: (1) Conduct planning with individuals and families so that they can maximize the likelihood of leading secure and comfortable retirements. (2) Through the business services arm, Resourceful, empower business leaders to care for the people that they will rely upon to be thriving, sustainable organizations.

Jeremy is a proud contributor to the Conscious Capitalism movement as he views it as a powerful vehicle to bring about greater prosperity and reduced suffering for our human family. Over his career he has had the privilege to work closely with hundreds of different enterprises across many markets and industries. A common theme emerges among those firms that he’s seen excel and that is to be great not just with what they are bringing to market, but also with the manner in which they are doing so.

About Our Sponsor – Conscious Capitalism Arizona

Business has the potential to be a powerful force for good.

Free enterprise capitalism has served to lift more people out of poverty than any other socio-economic system ever conceived – empowering social cooperation, human progress, and elevating humanity.

Good business is the answer to many of the global issues that humankind is facing. This is what we will dive into on the show.

We are working to change the capitalism narrative by shining a bright light on good business – telling the stories of conscious Arizona companies and encouraging others to follow in their footsteps.
