"For families who build businesses, and businesses that strengthen families” Running a business with family is one of the most rewarding things you can do. It's also one of the hardest. The Family in Business podcast is for Australian family business owners who want to grow a thriving, profitable business together - without letting it strain the relationships that matter most. Each week, hosts Mark and Caroline Creedon share honest conversations, practical strategies, and real-world insights drawn from over three decades of experience helping family businesses across Australia grow, scale, and plan for the future. Whether you're just starting to bring family into the business, trying to scale without burning out, navigating the tricky dynamics of working with a spouse or a sibling, or thinking seriously about succession and passing things on to the next generation - this show is built for you. Mark and Caroline cover the full family business journey: building systems that give you back your time, having the conversations most families avoid, creating a business that can run without you, and building wealth that carries across generations. This isn't a podcast about business in theory. It's about what actually works when the people around the boardroom table are also the people around the dinner table. Subscribe now and join a tribe of Australian family business owners keen to build something that lasts.

There are hundreds of things you could be doing in your business. More marketing. A new offer. A different lead source. Another platform to try. And so you pick the easiest thing, the quick win, and wonder why nothing se
