The Austin Family Business Program has launched a new podcast series to complement their Family Business 360 education program. In Family Business 360, professional advisors come together with a family business client to lead discussions on topics of interest to family business owners. Over breakfast, attendees can learn about succession and estate planning, hosting family meetings, conflict management and more. The podcast extends the reach of the program by offering educational content in a convenient audio format.
Each episode of the podcast contains an interview with the professional advisor that delivered the Family Business 360 presentation and a recap of the audience questions from the event. While the podcast is tied closely to the live programs, they also stand alone as great sources of information on family business topics.
“We wanted to provide some of the highlights from the sessions for people that couldn’t attend the events in person, and the podcast has proven to be a very popular way to do that,” says Roger Anderson, AFBP program manager and host of the podcast.
The podcast also provides an opportunity to hear perspectives from different professional advisors that participate in the Family Business 360 program. “These advisors have worked with many family businesses and that variety of experience brings tremendous value to the listener,” says Anderson.
There are currently seven episodes of the Family Business 360 Podcast available online. They can be accessed either at the Family Business 360 webpage or through iTunes University.
