About
A decade of listening to families who last.
The Business of Family is hosted by Mike Boyd, an Australia-based advisor and entrepreneur who has spent a decade in conversation with multigenerational families and the people who serve them.
How it began
The show grew out of a simple frustration: the most valuable conversations about family, wealth and succession were happening privately, between peers, and almost never written down. Mike was having them himself, as a member of YPO's global community of family-business leaders, and realised how much was being lost for want of a record.
So he started asking. Over 50 episodes he sat down with 7th-generation principals, single-family-office investors, succession advisors and next-generation leaders, many of them fellow members he'd met along the way, and asked the questions families rarely get to ask each other out loud.
“Every family thinks their situation is unique. The gift of these conversations is discovering how much they share.”Mike Boyd
Who the show is for
It's made for the people it's about: chief executives of significant family businesses, family-office principals, the advisors who serve them, and the next generation preparing to lead. Peer-level conversation about the real work of enduring.
Inspired by the YPO community
Mike is an active YPO member and serves in a leadership role within its family-enterprise community, and many guests are fellow members. The show grew organically from those relationships.
The Business of Family is independent, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by YPO as an organisation.
Preserve your family's story.
Every family Mike interviews wishes someone had recorded the generation before. So he built a warm, guided way to capture the voices, values and history that hold a family together, before they fade. The same craft, turned toward your family.
