## Resource

What does it really mean to find your place in a family business? In this episode, Meghan Lynch sits down with Torri Hawley, Chief Learning Officer at Tamarind Learning and a member of a seventh-generation family enterprise, to unpack a challenge many rising gen leaders face: being included without being clear on their role. Drawing from her own experience, Torri shares why simply teaching financials doesn’t solve the problem. You can understand the numbers and still feel lost, because the real question isn’t “Do I get this?” it’s “Where do I fit, and what’s expected of me?” The conversation explores how identity, context, and role clarity shape confidence over time, and why that shift matters for anyone stepping into ownership, whether formally or informally. Key Topics Discussed Why understanding the numbers doesn’t automatically build confidence or readiness How unclear roles create tension and leave rising gen members unsure where they fit Why building an identity outside the family business strengthens leadership inside it How the right language and context help turn passive involvement into real participation Connect with Torri on LinkedIn Connect with Meghan Lynch on LinkedIn Building Unbreakable Brands is produced by Six-Point Strategy
