Key points Lori and Nola are sharing in this episode:

(02:04:80) The numbers tell the story. Family firms across the board outperform traditional, non-family-run firms in key areas, including financially.

(06:59:70) The where, what, and how of an idea to launch a business together came about while in a U HAUL. It led to a conversation looking at what the future of our nation holds for my daughters.

(08:06:90) How do you choose a name for your business? For 'Buck', it needed to align with a purpose and passion to support leadership in youth

(14:11:40) The decision to start a nonprofit vs. a for profit organization is not easy and takes many factors into consideration. One factor stood out above the rest

(17:45:70) The key—the arguments or conversations—are really focused on the how and what's the best and most effective way. You have to have great respect for each other's strengths and weaknesses.
