Succession in family business isn’t just a name on a chart—it’s one of the most emotional, complex, and defining transitions a family can face. Emily Holdman, Managing Director at Permanent Equity, joins Jamie to unpack why succession so often gets framed as a power struggle, and how families can turn it into a collaborative, purpose-driven process instead.

They explore what emotional readiness looks like for both generations, the misconceptions that derail succession planning, and the overlooked leadership skills that truly prepare the next generation. It’s a candid conversation about letting go, stepping up, and building continuity that lasts beyond titles.
