The Construction Leading Edge Podcast
Business:Entrepreneurship
EPISODE 286: Bringing in a family member into your construction business and transitioning leadership is more challenging than you'd think.
But our guests for today had cracked the code and can now go on vacations without being on their phones or laptops.
In this week's episode, Construction Leading Edge's Systematize Your Construction Business (SYCB) coach Monish Khadye speaks with Tru Builders' owners, Max and Lori Christiansen, and their daughter/senior designer, Cassie Parra.
Today, Max, Lori, and Cassie share their lessons on how they made it through the 2008 slowdown, navigating business transition, and the systems and processes that make their construction business successful.
