Running a family business isn’t for the faint of heart — especially when your kids are part of the team.
In this episode, Dominic Rubino sits down with Brad Klingman, and his daughters Hannah Klingman and Kalli Klingman from RiseUp Labels to talk about what it really takes to pass the torch without losing your sanity (or your kids).
What you’ll learn in this episode:
1. How to invite your kids into the business the right way
2. The difference between “Dad” and “Boss”
3. Setting work/life boundaries in a family company
4. Creating meetings that build the future, not just solve today’s
problems
5. Why values matter more than titles when running a
multi-generation business
If you’ve ever thought about bringing family into your shop — or passing it down — this episode is for you.
