🎙️TMIT 01: Family Meetings

“What works about the family meeting is that it’s a regularly scheduled time to draw attention to specific behaviors. If you don’t have a safe environment to discuss problems, any plan to improve your family will go nowhere." - David Starr

What makes a weekly family meeting not just happen—but matter? In this episode, we kick off a conversation about one of the most recommended tools in family culture building. We dug into books, courses, and expert advice to identify the patterns, and we distilled them into a simple, actionable starting point for our family, and hopefully, for yours too!
