In this episode, we chat to Patti Durand from Bright Track Consulting. Patti talks us through her background in agriculture, her work with farm families, and her transition to consulting and authorship with her book "The Future Leader - The Successor's Guide to Family Business Leadership," which focuses on empowering the successor generation in family businesses.

We dig into Patti's experiences with communication challenges in families, the impact of legacy, and her methodology for working with families to improve communication and plan for succession.
