Lucas and Luna explore real-world cases like the Redstone family's battle over ViacomCBS, the Hermès family's resistance to LVMH's takeover, and the Ford family's evolving role at the automaker. They dissect the legal structures, tax strategies, and governance models that help families retain control while scaling. Lucas brings historical context and financial analysis; Luna challenges assumptions about nepotism, emotional decision-making, and the 'clogs to clogs in three generations' adage. This show serves owners, heirs, advisors, and anyone curious about how power and wealth pass through generations. What happens when a founder's vision collides with a third-generation CEO's ambition—and how do families navigate the line between legacy and stagnation? #FamilyBusiness #Succession #Legacy #MultiGenerational #BusinessOwnership #FamilyOffice #EstatePlanning #Governance #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Business #Careers #Entrepreneurship #WealthManagement #Leadership #PrivatelyHeld #Succ…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-04T10:21:06.672002+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/family-business-stories-with-fexingo-succession-legacy-and-multi-generational-companies-7871577"},"episode":{"title":"How the Peugeot Family Saved Their Car Company From Collapse","slug":"how-the-peugeot-family-saved-their-car-company-from-collapse","published_at":"2026-07-01T03:52:34+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/family-business-stories-with-fexingo-succession-legacy-and-multi-generational-companies-7871577/how-the-peugeot-family-saved-their-car-company-from-collapse","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/family-business-stories-with-fexingo-succession-legacy-and-multi-generational-companies-7871577","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/family-business-stories/episode-0085.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/family-business-stories/episode-0085.mp3","summary":"In 2014, PSA Peugeot Citroën was hours from bankruptcy. The founding family, which had controlled the company since 1810, was diluted to just over 14% ownership after a bailout from the French state and Chinese automaker Dongfeng. Yet the Peugeot family didn't disappear. They rebuilt their stake, retained a board seat, and watched their revived company merge with Fiat-Chrysler to form Stellantis — now the world's fourth-largest automaker. This episode traces how the Peugeot cousins held on through near-total loss of control, why they accepted dilution rather than selling out, and what their decision says about family pride versus financial logic. We also look at a different path: the Ford family, which kept control through special shares, and ask whether the Peugeot approach — stay in the game, even as a minority — can ever work again in capital-intensive industries. #PeugeotFamily #FamilyBusiness #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Stellantis #PSAPeugeotCitroen #Dongfeng #FrenchIndustry #Automotive #FoundingFamily #Succession #Legacy #CorporateGovernance #OwnershipStructure #Bailout #FordFamily #MultiGenerational Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In 2014, PSA Peugeot Citroën was hours from bankruptcy.
