About this episode
Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, and Today's Class Explore the complexities of family succession in automotive businesses, featuring insights from a psychologist, a shop owner, and her father, who transitioned the business to her. The discussion covers topics such as defining roles, seeking professional guidance, addressing financial considerations, establishing boundaries, and the importance of a trusted, non-family advisor during the succession process. The conversation highlights the need for business owners to relinquish control, embrace change, and recognize the value of diverse perspectives in leadership.
