The Business Family Diagnostic
Where does your business family stand?
Most of what holds a family together is never written down. Thirty-three statements across eleven areas show you where yours is solid and where to start. About twelve minutes, free, and you choose whether to save your result.

Host
The guests
The conversations that usually happen behind closed doors.
Guests are family members and chief executives of significant family businesses, talking candidly to their peers. The show grew out of those conversations in YPO, where Mike is an active member.
Record your family's story while you still can.
After more than a decade of conversations with business families, I built Enduring Stories: a guided voice conversation, from home, that captures your family's voices, values and history before they fade.
The newsletter
The families who keep it together don't do it by accident.
They talk about the things most families avoid. I share what I've learned from them. Sign up, and start having those conversations in your own family.
