Flourishing Families Across Generations | James Hughes on Business in Families | Ep #12
Description
Welcome to the first episode of Business in Families, the podcast where legacy meets leadership.
In this powerful opening conversation, we sit down with James E. “Jay” Hughes, a sixth-generation attorney, author, and global pioneer in multigenerational family enterprise thinking. With over 50 years of experience, Jay shares profound insights on:
✅ Why most family businesses don’t survive past the third generation
✅ What flourishing families do differently
✅ The real meaning of wealth beyond money
✅ How to build spiritual, human, intellectual, and social capital
✅ Why “affinity” matters more than blood
✅ The secret to governance that actually works
💡 Jay reminds us that family legacy is not guaranteed—it’s a choice. And only families who add daily energy to their purpose, relationships, and communication can truly thrive across generations.
🎧 Whether you're a founder, successor, family advisor, or simply someone passionate about legacy this episode is a must.
