The Blessings and Burdens of Family Enterprise with Christin McClave

In this episode, Derek Wittjohann, COO of Premier Path Wealth Partners, sits down with Christin Cardone McClave, advisor at Legacy Capitals and former COO and CHRO of CARDONE Industries, a third-generation family enterprise with more than $1.2 billion in revenue and 5,000 employees. As both a family shareholder and senior executive, Christin played a key role in guiding the company through generational leadership transitions, organizational transformation, and ultimately a successful acquisition by a global private equity firm. Together, they discuss succession planning, preparing the next generation for leadership, navigating the emotional side of a business transition, and balancing family dynamics with long-term business success. Christin also shares lessons from her own journey—from building a career outside the family business to returning to help lead one of the nation's largest family-owned enterprises through a pivotal chapter in its history. Whether you're a business owner, family shareholder, or part of the rising generation, this conversation offers valuable insights on leadership, legacy, and creating a successful transition while preserving the relationships that matter most.Important Disclaimer:Premier Path Wealth Partners is registered as an investment adviser with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
