Host
Who this is for
Made for the people the show is about.
Mike is an active member of YPO and its family-enterprise community, and the show grew out of it. Many guests are fellow members: family members or chief executives of significant family businesses, talking candidly to their peers.
Candid, peer-to-peer conversation. The kind that rarely happens outside a closed room.
Record your family's story while you still can.
After a decade of these interviews, I built Enduring Stories: a warm, guided way to capture your family's voices, values and history before they fade.

“We all feel stronger if we are part of a tapestry. One thread alone is weak, but woven into something larger, surrounded by other threads, is more difficult to unravel.”
