Ep: 65 - What we Learned from Competitors

Mixing family and business isn’t for the faint of heart but you don’t have to do it alone! Join us on this week’s episode of the Mixing Family and Business Podcast where you'll hear firsthand stories about the toughest business conversations we’ve ever had, from the heartbreak of closing stores to the breakthrough moments that unlocked new growth and why honest, proactive communication is at the center of it all. Learn the art of “borrowing” (and sometimes avoiding) ideas from competitors! We share our favorite examples of learning from others in the industry — and even how a single clever trick (like cutting through a brick counter for table service!) can change your business forever. Discover why you should welcome competition, constantly keep your eyes open for inspiration outside your field, and never stop tweaking and improving — even if that means letting go of old habits or clearing out inventory that just won’t move.
