Make Boards Work - With Joanna Ling

What this episode covers

Make Boards Work aspires to be the number one business podcast for all those who aim to take their board work to the next level.We got into something Joanna does not usually talk about publicly. What it's actually like running a family business where the board is your cousins, your siblings, your parents, your uncles, and your in-laws.In a family board, the most important thing isn't the numbers.The most important thing is that everybody's happy. That's the good and the bad of it, all wrapped into one.We also talked about the other end of the spectrum - sitting on a venture-backed startup board where people shout at each other, the company almost runs out of money month to month, and everyone in the room has their own capital on the line.Two completely different worlds. Joanna has learned from both. And so can you:If you're in a family business, working with investors, or trying to figure out what a board should actually do for you, I think this one's worth a listen.
