Listen now to Kelly Platt talk about growing and achieving, professionally and personally!     

We often think we are two people—one at work and one at home. But as Kelly Platt tells us in this terrific podcast, "You are who you are." And I agree. Your business career and your personal journey are always closely connected. Yes, you can change—Kelly started out in the Midwest Rust Belt without a high school degree working in factories and went on to become a highly successful entrepreneur—but at your core, you are still you. Don't miss her inspiring story!

Listen now to Amy Bruske talk about how family is family. . . and business is business!

At SAMC, we know a lot about family firms and do a lot of work in this arena. Did you know that almost 80% of the businesses in the U.S. are owned and run by families? That's why we are thrilled to have Amy Bruske on our On the Brink podcast, an expert in helping family businesses thrive over time. Amy is a sought-after speaker for Fortune 500 companies, associations and entrepreneurial organizations in a variety of industries and I know you will learn a lot from her! 

 Listen now to Scot Hunsaker teach us how to plan for tomorrow's succession today!

Scot and I had a wonderful time talking about how to turn your employees into owners. This is no small task and very important. You might not be aware of this statistic but 66% of companies will close their doors when their current leadership leaves. I find this number devastating. What will this do to our industries, communities and national economy—much less all those employees who count on their current business leaders? There's a lot to learn here.
