We’re treated to so many accounts of family businesses working with non-family members, but what’s life like on the other side of the equation…?
The irresistible charm of Kite Clothing’s ranges is made possible by a brother-sister duo of Roger & Ally, and our guest today, third Co-Director Jo Spragg!
We champion her unique perspective on family business, and how this one has thrived for over 18 years, on a fascinating edition of It Runs In The Family.
This episode covers:
- How Jo works together with two sibling Co-Directors, while never feeling like a third wheel
- Ethics and morals at the heart of Jo’s motivations for starting the business
- How Kite grew organically from humble beginnings without rigid long-term planning
- The importance of flexibility, family involvement, and creating an environment that allows for personal growth and work-life balance
- Jo’s father's entrepreneurial background and influence on her career path

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
