My Shout

Over the next decade, close to 90% of family businesses will change ownership. There will be no shortage of advice about strategy, structure, and numbers. But that's not where the real headaches are. Most people get tripped up by the stuff they didn't see coming. The hidden dynamics, unspoken tensions, assumptions, and blind spots that only show up once you're in it. It's the stuff you'd normally unpack over a beer with someone you trust, after the meeting, after the decision, after it's already played out. Shane Williams wants to have that beer now. Each fortnight, Shane sits down with the owners, investors, operators and advisors who've lived through it. They pull apart what actually happened, and surface the questions worth asking before you need them. Charge a glass, pull up a stool. Cheers.
