And what does it really take to prepare the next generation to lead successfully? \"I built this company from nothing… how do I let go?\" \"What if the next generation wants to run the business differently?\" \"How do we grow without losing control?\" \"Why does succession planning feel so emotional?\" This conversation gives you the answer. In this episode of The Family Biz Show, Michael Palumbos sits down with construction consultant and coach Jerry Aliberti to unpack the real challenges behind succession planning in family-owned construction businesses. Together, they explore the emotional, operational, and leadership obstacles that families face when transitioning a business from one generation to the next. Rather than treating succession as a single event, Jerry explains why successful transitions require years of leadership development, trust-building, accountability, and organizational structure. The episode also explores why many founders unintentionally become the bottleneck to future growth — and how the next generation often approaches leadership, systems, and work-life balance differently. Jerry Aliberti is the founder of ProAccel and a construction consultant with more than 20 years of experience in the industry. He has managed hundreds of millions of dollars in projects, led estimating teams on multi-billion-dollar bids, and now helps construction businesses improve leadership, accountability, operations, and long-term growth.
