How do you transition a family business into its 2nd and 3rd generation?
Find out from the latest Wild Business Growth Podcast guest, Howard Shear! Howard is the Owner of Lakeside Laundry Equipment and A.L.L. Laundry Service. He came into the business under his father Leon and recently introduced his son-in-law Rex into the business to lead their finances. Howard is like a 2nd father to me: I grew up across the street from him, our families have always been super close, and I even spent 2 weeks shadowing him for my senior project in high school.
Listen to the family-filled episode to hear how Howard runs his businesses, the rewarding and challenging aspects of working with family, and even life lessons from Leon, who is a Holocaust survivor.
