Bedrooms and boardrooms share interleading doors in this Rigour & Flow conversation about the realities of running a family business.
From millennia-old trading families to today’s co-founder couples, today we’re asking what it takes to build something together without breaking each other. We trace our journey of running AiAi Studios and Roots & Rigour side by side, reflecting on corner shop family businesses, gospel-gold empires, and a co-operative farm in Botswana where work and family were inseparable.
We also question why modern workplaces have become so loveless and how capitalism cut emotion out of work.
Together we explore the paradox of partnership, how business can strengthen love, or test it to its limits.
🎧 In this episode:
● Family business as humanity’s oldest business model: Corner-shop entrepreneurs & gospel-gold empires
● Generational wealth & inheritance: The right to ease & the will to pass something on to our kids and kin
● Work as a love language: Finding balance when your partner is your co-founder
● The “Loveless Workplace”: Periods, cycle syncing & the need to replace capitalism with care
● What makes family business work well?: Communication for breakthroughs and repair; radical candour for breakdowns
