from Mixing Family and Business Podcast · host Brian, Tom Hahn - Kim Chapman
Ever wondered what it really takes to run multiple businesses with your family? In this episode, I sit down with Kim, Shirley, and Tom to get raw and honest about the disagreements we’ve had, the times we realized someone else was right, and all those “almost” moments, the partnerships and businesses we nearly started (but didn’t). From scrutinizing P&Ls to dodging disaster (like that Dairy Queen with the flooded basement), we revisit our experiences and share what we learned from the opportunities we passed on, as well as the ones that made us stronger. If you’re curious about how to mix family dynamics with business decisions, handle near-misses, and make smart moves for growth, you’ll find plenty of practical lessons and a few laughs in this episode. Tune in for some real talk about building, buying, and sometimes bravely walking away. See you next episode let’s keep learning and growing together!
