Ahlan, welcome to Dad Still Signs the Cheques. I am Rami Haddad, third generation in a food business in Amman, and yes, my father still signs some of the cheques. Today's episode is one I have wanted to make since we started, because it is the conversation almost every family business avoids. Who takes over, and when. I am sitting with a father and daughter who run a group of bakeries in Beirut. They have worked together for eleven years. They have never discussed succession. Not once. We have a family business advisor with us, and with everyone's permission, we are going to start that conversation right here. It gets emotional. It also gets practical, because by the end they have a timeline on paper. If you are the next generation, or the first, this one is for you. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts.
