I had a fascinating conversation recently with Kasia Flanagan, founder of Everyday Legacies, on the Business Transition Roadmap podcast. We talked about something that’s been on my mind for the past three decades of working with family business owners: what business legacy really means.

Most of the business owners I work with have built something remarkable. They’ve created companies that employ people, serve communities, and generate significant wealth. Many have their names on buildings, university wings, or industry awards. These are meaningful achievements, and I don’t want to diminish them for a second.
