When siblings work together, the business doesn’t always get a fresh start.

Old family dynamics can come along for the ride.

Who was the responsible one?
Who was the favourite?
Who always felt overlooked?
Who was expected to lead?

Years later, those same dynamics can show up in meetings, decision-making, disagreements, and even conversations about money and leadership.

In this episode of The Business of Family Podcast, Tammy sits down with Annie Gleason, a consultant with Dr. Donna Marino & Associates, to explore sibling conflict in family business, including:

• Why sibling conflict can become so emotional
• How childhood roles and perceived favoritism can affect business relationships
• How clearly defined roles and governance can reduce tension
• Practical ways siblings can communicate when conversations get heated
Because being siblings and being business partners are two very different roles, and successfully navigating both takes intention.

What’s harder than giving a tough performance review? Giving one to your son. Or your daughter. Or your sibling.

In a family business, the person sitting across the table from you might be both your employee and your family member.

That can make it tempting to soften the feedback, avoid the conversation, or give someone a pass because you don’t want to damage the relationship.

But avoiding accountability doesn’t protect the relationship, or the business.

In this episode of The Business of Family Podcast: Family Matters Legal Edition, Tammy Buss of BlueRoots and Yola from Lerners LLP talk about:

• Why performance reviews can feel so personal in family businesses
• What happens when family members are held to different standards
• How clear expectations and documentation protect everyone
• The tough conversations families often avoid
• Why accountability can actually be an act of respect
• How regular feedback helps prepare the next generation for leadership

Because being family shouldn’t mean being held to a different standard.

In a family business, ownership isn't always as straightforward as holding shares.

Family members often wear multiple hats, as owners, employees, leaders, and relatives, which can make it difficult to separate business decisions from family dynamics.

In this episode of Legacy on Repeat, Tammy is joined by Shawn Bellefeuille, owner of Retirement by Design, to explore the Ownership Circle and why understanding your role is essential to a healthy family enterprise.

Whether you're preparing the next generation for ownership or simply looking to create greater clarity within your family business, this conversation offers valuable perspectives to help strengthen both the business and the family behind it.
