Show Notes
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.

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)
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?"

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:
