	The Great Survivors: What Britain's Oldest Family Businesses Can Teach Us	23 sept. 2026	00:49:11
The Great Survivors: What Britain's Oldest Family Businesses Can Teach Us, with Nigel Cope Russ is joined by Nigel Cope, former City Editor of The Independent and long-serving communications lead at a FTSE 100 company, to discuss his new book, The Great Survivors. Nigel visited twelve of the UK's longest-standing family businesses, speaking to family members across generations and non-family staff, to understand how they have lasted a century or more and what the rest of the business world might learn from them. In this episode: Why family businesses, despite numbering around five million and employing some fifteen million people in the UK, remain underreported and underappreciated (02:00) How sector-based representation and a preference for keeping a low profile keep the family business model out of the national conversation (05:13) The inheritance tax changes and why the "farmers' tax" framing missed the wider family business impact (07:21) The case for more family business ambassadors, and the idea of being "1-0 up before you start" in communications (13:43) How the twelve businesses were chosen: at least 100 years old, fourth generation or beyond, and a spread of sectors, sizes and regions (20:58) Challenging the myth of the sleepy family firm, with examples of innovation from Barbour, Stephen Walters and Berry Bros. & Rudd (27:02) Common traits: intergenerational thinking, cautious finance, deep community roots and a broader definition of success (31:17) Proximity of ownership, visible owners and the stability it creates for employees and communities (33:54) What family businesses could contribute to the debate on growth "in every postcode" (42:43) Businesses featured in the conversation: R.J. Balson & Son, C. Hoare & Co., Shepherd Neame, Berry Bros. & Rudd, Lock & Co. Hatters, Samworth Brothers, Timpson, Barbour, Stephen Walters & Sons and Walker's Shortbread. Nigel's key takeaway: Family businesses are collectively bigger, more important and more successful than most people realise, and their approach to doing business deserves closer examination.

	Living Your Values	09 sept. 2026	01:01:44
Living Your Values With Dr Dennis Jaffe and Dr Cynthia Scott What if your family's values are not the tidy list on the wall, but something far messier and far more powerful? In this episode, Russ sits down with Dr Dennis Jaffe and Dr Cynthia Scott, married co-authors of Living Your Values, the follow-up to their groundbreaking 1993 work on values in families and organisations. Between them they bring decades of research into resilience, culture change, and what actually holds hundred-year family businesses together. The conversation gets straight to the point Dennis and Cynthia have built their careers on: values are not words, they are actions. A word like "respect" or "integrity" on a poster tells you nothing until someone can point to a story that shows what it actually looks like in practice. Highlights include: Why Dennis's research into hundred-year, multi-generational family businesses found one answer, far above any other, for what kept them together The difference between legacy values, current values, espoused values and aspirational values, and why families so often confuse them Why picking five values "out of a hat" is the least effective route any family or organisation can take The personal values pyramid: why understanding your own values has to come before a family can agree on shared ones How storytelling, not word lists, is what makes values genuinely stick across generations Why healthy families do not need identical values, and how diversity within a family can be a source of strength rather than division What it really means to be a "values champion", and why that question produces far richer conversations than simply asking "what are our values?" This is a conversation about doing the harder, more honest work of turning belief into behaviour, and why that work never really finishes.

	Wealth as Wellbeing & Wellbeing as Wealth	12 déc. 2025	01:02:24
A Conversation with Jay Hughes and Martin Stepek This episode is one of the most profound and far-reaching conversations we have ever shared on The Family Business Podcast. Joined by the legendary James E. Hughes Jr. and my colleague Martin Stepek, we explore the idea that wealth, at its deepest level, has always meant wellbeing, and that wellbeing itself is a powerful form of wealth. What follows is a conversation that ranges widely yet remains grounded and practical. We delve into the origins of the word wealth, the anthropology of thriving families, the nature of aspiration and spiritual capital, and the lived realities of generational transition. Jay brings six decades of experience advising families worldwide, while Martin offers a deeply personal perspective from growing up in a complex multigenerational enterprise. Together, the conversation becomes a rare blend of wisdom, honesty, and humanity. Across the hour, we discuss themes that lie at the heart of flourishing family enterprises: • Why the original meaning of wealth still matters today • How families can create environments where wellbeing is treated as a core asset • The importance of joint decision-making and the shift required when a founder’s energy becomes a family system • The five capitals and why financial capital is the least powerful without the others • Welcoming, lineage, and the conditions that encourage rising generations to stay engaged • How families can cultivate a culture of care, curiosity, and responsibility • Why plays, not plans, may offer a better way to think about the future This conversation is not technical. It is not formulaic. It is an exploration of what it means for families to thrive across generations, delivered with clarity, compassion, and occasionally breathtaking insight. If you advise families, lead a family enterprise, or are part of one, this episode offers a chance to step back and reflect on the deeper forces that shape continuity, connection, and fulfilment. It is a reminder that family enterprise is, at its essence, a human endeavour. A must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the true nature of wealth and the foundations of long-term family flourishing.

	Values - What you Say vs What you Do	07 nov. 2025	00:24:45
Summary In this conversation, Russ Haworth explores the intricate relationship between family values and the underlying needs that drive them. He emphasises that when families disagree over values, they are often expressing unmet or conflicting needs. For instance, valuing loyalty may indicate a need for security, while valuing freedom may reflect a desire for autonomy. This understanding can transform family dynamics and improve communication. Takeaways When you say you value loyalty, you're expressing a need for security. Valuing freedom indicates a need for autonomy. Disagreements over values often stem from unmet needs. A founder's value of hard work may hide a need for control. Next-gen family members may value creativity for self-expression. Understanding these needs can change family conversations. Neither perspective is wrong; they reflect different positions. Values are often a reflection of deeper needs. Communication improves when we understand underlying needs. Recognising generational differences can enhance family dynamics.

	Creating a Shared Vision	31 oct. 2025	00:23:56
Summary In this conversation, Russ Haworth discusses the complexities of shared ownership in family businesses, emphasising the importance of individual fulfillment and the need for a collective vision that respects diverse goals. He highlights that alignment in ownership does not require uniformity, but rather a common understanding of how the business can support each family member's aspirations. Takeaways Families often feel pressured to have the same dreams or goals. Alignment in ownership does not mean identical understanding. Respecting individual fulfilment is crucial for collective success. A clear ownership vision helps guide family businesses. Finding common ground is essential for effective collaboration. Individual aspirations can contribute to a stronger collective vision. Legacy creation is a key aspect of shared ownership. Honest conversations about fulfillment lead to better outcomes. Diversity in goals can enhance business support. Shared ownership requires ongoing dialogue and understanding. Support the Show The podcast is entirely self-funded by me.

	Cultivating a Mindset to Stay the Course	27 juin 2025	00:57:14
In this episode of The Family Business Podcast, we explore two closely connected ideas from the Eightfold Path: Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration — or what we might now call focus. Mindfulness, when taught well, is a powerful three-part skill: notice, pause, change. It allows us to catch unhelpful thoughts or reactions before they spiral, giving us the space to shift into a wiser frame of mind. But Martin also highlights a crucial point — mindfulness isn’t just about being aware. It’s about being aware skilfully. Alongside this is the practice of Right Concentration — the ability to hold your attention where it matters, without being pulled off course by distraction, fatigue, or emotion. Together, these two skills help us stay steady — whether we're in a boardroom, around the dinner table, or navigating life’s daily ups and downs. In a world of constant interruption and overstimulation, this conversation is a grounding one — especially for those in family businesses, where clarity of mind can be the difference between reactivity and wise leadership. Key Topics: Why mindfulness is more than just “being present” The three-step method: Notice, Pause, Change How to stay focused in a world full of noise The difference between casual awareness and skilful attention Practical tools to reduce mental clutter and strengthen concentration Want to explore this further? The Path is a mindfulness-based programme designed specifically for those in or advising family businesses. It offers practical guidance grounded in ancient wisdom, helping you build clarity, resilience, and better decision-making. Learn more at https://familybusinesspartnership.com/thepath/
	The Energy Behind Lasting Change	26 juin 2025	00:43:44
In this episode of The Family Business Podcast, we take a closer look at Right Effort — a reminder that meaningful change doesn’t happen by chance, and it doesn’t happen overnight. Drawing from the Buddhist tradition, Martin explains that the word “Right” here means skilful. Skilful effort is steady, thoughtful, and sustainable. It isn’t about perfection or pushing yourself to exhaustion — but nor is it about giving up when things get hard. Changing the way we think, respond, and behave — especially in the face of stress, family dynamics, or business pressures — takes practice. And that practice requires a particular kind of energy: one rooted in care, persistence, and balance. This episode is especially useful for those who feel they’re “trying” to live or lead differently but aren’t seeing instant results. It’s a reminder that the path to clarity, kindness, and effectiveness is built one step — and one skilful effort — at a time. Key Topics: What “Right Effort” really means — and why it’s not about striving How to avoid burnout while still committing to meaningful change Why mindfulness requires consistent practice to take root The role of patience, persistence, and balance in both personal growth and leadership Practical guidance for cultivating sustainable effort in work and life Want to explore this further? The Path is our unique mindfulness-based programme designed for those in or advising family businesses. It blends timeless wisdom with practical tools to help you live and lead with clarity and purpose. Find out more at https://familybusinesspartnership.com/thepath/
	Rethinking Work, Purpose and Impact	25 juin 2025	00:51:51
In this episode of The Family Business Podcast, we explore Right Livelihood — a concept that feels strikingly modern, despite being taught by the Buddha over 2,500 years ago. Today we hear terms like purpose-driven business, CSR, or ESG, but the heart of the idea is timeless: how we make our living matters. Not just in terms of profit, but in terms of integrity, impact, and alignment with our values. Martin reflects on the Buddha’s surprisingly direct teachings to rulers, employers, and workers alike, encouraging them to avoid livelihoods that cause harm, and to pursue work that contributes positively to society. And if we find ourselves in a role that compromises our values? The Buddha advised making amends through good deeds and conscious reflection. For anyone in a family business, this teaching is especially resonant. How we earn, invest, and lead shapes more than just the bottom line, it shapes the legacy we leave behind. Right Livelihood is about asking not just how successful are we?, but what are we actually contributing through our work?

	Skilful Action: The Heart of Meaningful Work and Life	24 juin 2025	00:54:04
In this episode of The Family Business Podcast, we turn our attention to Right Action, one of the eight elements of the Eightfold Path, and a powerful lens through which to view our choices, habits, and impact on others. But what does “Right” really mean? As Martin explains, it's not about being perfect or morally superior. It’s about being skilful. Making choices that are wise, kind, and constructive, even in the face of stress, pressure, or uncertainty. Drawing on the core lessons within the Four Noble Truths, we look at how much of our unhappiness comes not from what happens to us, but from how we respond. And one of the most important responses we can cultivate is through action, what we do, how we do it, and why we do it. This episode is particularly relevant for those working in or with family businesses, where every action, from leadership decisions to daily conversations, can ripple through the whole system. Mindfulness gives us the space to act with clarity, not just urgency. And that can be the difference between reactions that escalate tension, and actions that build trust and understanding.

	Rethinking Communication	23 juin 2025	00:51:07
Certainly. Here's a refreshed episode title and updated show notes that reflect the focus on communication while staying true to the content and tone of The Path: 🎧 New Episode Title: "The Lost Art of Listening: Mindful Communication in a Noisy World" Show Notes: In this re-released episode of The Family Business Podcast, we explore how mindfulness can radically improve the way we communicate — at home, at work, and within our families. Drawing on the teachings of the Buddha and the foundational principles of The Path, Martin Stepek introduces two practical and transformative skills: mindful listening and conscious breathing. These are not abstract ideas — they are everyday tools that can prevent unnecessary conflict, deepen trust, and help us respond with thoughtfulness rather than react out of habit. Martin begins by unpacking one of the most overlooked aspects of communication: the tendency to only half-listen. He explains how we often prepare our responses while someone else is still speaking — which means we miss their meaning entirely. With mindfulness, we can train ourselves to truly listen, to pause, and to respond with clarity and care. We also look at the role of the breath, not just as a tool for relaxation, but as a reliable way to regulate emotion in real time. Whether it’s irritation in a meeting or tension at home, using the breath as a mental reset can prevent needless arguments and foster wiser, calmer exchanges. Together, these two skills form the basis of what the Buddhist tradition calls “Right Speech”, communication that is considered, kind, and constructive. In a world of fast replies and constant distraction, they’re more important than ever. If you're interested in taking these ideas further, explore The Path — our practical mindfulness programme designed specifically for those working in or with family-owned businesses.

	Skilful Thinking for a Better Life	20 juin 2025	00:52:23
Right Intention: Skilful Thinking for a Better Life In this episode, we take a closer look at one of the eight elements of the Eightfold Path — Right Intentions, sometimes called Right Thoughts. The word “Right” here does not mean morally superior or correct in a rigid sense. It is better understood as skilful or wise. This matters because the quality of our thoughts shapes the quality of our lives. Martin and I explore how our automatic thinking often leads to poor decisions, unnecessary stress, and reactive behaviour. By learning to notice and guide our thoughts more skilfully, we can reduce suffering and increase our clarity. This is not about controlling every thought, but about cultivating an approach to thinking that is more deliberate, more compassionate, and more constructive.

	A Practical Path Forward	19 juin 2025	00:53:18
In this look at the Four Noble Truths, we turn to the most practical element — the path forward. The Fourth Noble Truth teaches that if we want to reduce suffering and build a more peaceful life, we need to develop certain skills. These are not abstract ideas, but habits of mind and behaviour that can be cultivated through deliberate effort. This is what the Buddha’s Eightfold Path offers. Each part of the Eightfold Path begins with the word “Right.” Here, “Right” is best understood as skilful or wise — not moralistic or correct in an absolute sense. These eight areas are: Right Understanding Right Intentions or Thought Right Speech or Communication Right Actions Right Livelihood Right Effort Right Mindfulness Right Concentration or Focus Together, they offer a practical framework for living with greater awareness, integrity and clarity — qualities that matter just as much in business and family life as they do in personal reflection.

	You Can Navigate This	18 juin 2025	00:41:47
The Third Noble Truth: The End of Suffering In this episode, we continue our series on the Four Noble Truths by exploring the Third — the truth that suffering can end. The Buddha taught that while life involves dissatisfaction and struggle, it does not have to stay that way. When we learn to understand and reduce the “thirsts” — the cravings and aversions that drive our reactions — we begin to create space for peace of mind. This is not about denying life’s challenges, but about changing how we relate to them. Martin and I talk about how we can all develop simple but powerful skills that help us suffer less, even in difficult moments. These teachings are not abstract ideas, but practical tools for daily life — at home, at work, and in our relationships.

	The Cause of Suffering	17 juin 2025	00:41:26
The Second Noble Truth: The Cause of Suffering This episode continues our exploration of the Buddha’s core teachings, looking closely at the Second Noble Truth. While the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path are ancient concepts, they remain powerful tools for understanding modern life. The Second Noble Truth teaches that much of our dissatisfaction and suffering comes not just from what happens to us, but from how our minds respond. When life doesn’t go the way we hoped, or when we lose something we value, the mind reacts. The Buddha called these reactions “thirsts” — our cravings for things to be different from how they are. Together, Martin and I discuss how this understanding can help us take a different view of challenges and setbacks. Rather than blaming ourselves or others, we can begin to notice our inner reactions more clearly. That awareness gives us real choice.

	Sh*t Happens!	16 juin 2025	00:44:06
The Four Noble Truths: Understanding the First Step In this episode, Martin and I begin our exploration of one of the most enduring teachings in mindfulness and Buddhism: The Four Noble Truths. These are not abstract religious ideas, but practical insights into how we might live with greater awareness and less unnecessary suffering. We start with the First Noble Truth. This teaches that life, by its nature, includes dissatisfaction, frustration and, at times, suffering. At first glance, that might not sound too uplifting. But as we explore it together, you’ll see why recognising this truth is actually the beginning of something hopeful and empowering. This conversation offers a fresh way to think about everyday challenges, whether at home, at work or within yourself.

	'Lifeboat Drill' for your Family Business	27 janv. 2025	00:18:08
Given the recent changes in legislation announced in the Budget, I am re-releasing this episode to highlight the value and importance of Lifeboat Drills for your Family Business. An actual lifeboat drill is essentially a practice evacuation of a ship using the lifeboats on board. I am not advocating everyone rushing out and practising evacuations, however it is the purpose of a lifeboat drill that is important here. The reason that lifeboat drills are important for sailors is that if and when they need to use the lifeboats they want the reassurance of knowing that: The lifeboat does the job it is there to do; and If anything does go wrong that it is not at a time of emergency and you can do something about it. It is this principle that I am advocating. A lifeboat drill for your family business is essentially looking at a number of 'what if' scenarios that allow you to test that the legal, financial and business procedures you have in place are fit for purpose.

	Right Mindfulness and Concentration - The Mindful Family Business	19 juin 2023	00:57:07
THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS The First Noble Truth: be aware that life brings with it many forms of dissatisfaction, frustration, irritation, and many levels of suffering. The Second Noble Truth: recognise that these different types of suffering are produced by your mind, even if the apparent cause is external. The mind reacts negatively to life experiences that we didn’t want, and does the same when we don’t get things we were hoping for. The Buddha called these wants and dislikes “thirsts”. It is thirsts that cause unhappy states of mind. The Third Noble Truth: we can learn to cultivate skills that stop our thirsts and thus end our various forms of suffering. The Fourth Noble Truth: to cultivate these skills we have to follow a path that contains eight components, as follows. Right Mindfulness: mindfulness is a three-pronged skill with regards to our state or frame of mind. Notice. Pause. Change. Although taught around the world today mindfulness is often misunderstood by its teachers and therefore also by its students, so it is important to learn mindfulness the way it was originally taught, that is, within the wider context we are summarising here. One could say that Right Mindfulness is the development of the ability to notice unhealthy thoughts and feelings, then shift the mind away from these to much wiser ones. Right Concentration or Focus: if mindfulness is taking the mind away from unhelpful states, then Right Concentration or Focus is its partner. We try to develop the ability to keep our mind on positive or useful states of mind or where we want our mind to be, rather than constantly being distracted, say by emails, passing moods, daydreams, etc. To find out more about our unique programme and how it can help you and your family business, please follow this link and download our brochure.

The Fourth Noble Truth: to cultivate these skills we have to follow a path that contains eight components, as follows. THE EIGHTFOLD PATH As with the word Noble above, the Eightfold Path uses a word that needs a little clarification. Each of the eight paths starts with the word Right. In this case it does not mean right as opposed to immoral, so it is not judgemental. Nor does it mean correct as opposed to wrong. It is best thought of as skilful or wise. The four previous “paths”, covered in previous episodes, relate directly to how we live our lives - our thoughts and feelings, our communication with others, our decisions, and our working life. The next three are the methods or disciplines to use to ensure we do in fact learn to manage our wayward minds. Right Effort: changing our volatile, conditioned mind doesn’t happen overnight. It took us our entire lifetime to date to become who we are today, so reversing and changing our mindset takes time. Therefore we need to work at it with effort. Again, the word right means skilful. Skilful effort means we don;’t slacken off or lapse, but nor do we exhaust ourselves in too zealous an effort.

Right Livelihood: this always astonishes me. 2500 years ago the Buddha was directly teaching rulers, employers, and employees how to work wisely. In particular he advised against doing work or careers which are inherently cruel or destructive, and if a person has no choice then they should make some amends by doing good in their spare time. This is what in recent years is now called CSR and ESG and “purpose-driven” but the Buddha taught it millennia ago and had a much stricter perspective than we have today.
