## Resource

In this episode, Cory Gagnon is joined by Gavin Brower and Gerry Meyer for a conversation about what really shapes a successful transition inside a family enterprise. Expectations around leadership, ownership, timing, and readiness can easily drift apart when they remain unspoken. One generation may be thinking about succession while another is still deciding whether they want a role at all. Gavin and Gerry explore how families can surface those differences earlier, create clearer accountability, and build enough trust to have the conversations that are often easiest to postpone.
