Learning from Beau's Brewery: Steve Beauchesne on Family Business and Peer Groups

He quit his job, sold his house, and moved his young family into his parents' home to build a brewery with his dad. Beau's All Natural Brewing became one of Canada's most recognized craft beer brands — and then Steve Beauchesne and his father had to sell it.

Steve joins Matt Knight for a candid conversation about what it really takes to build a business with family: the governance lessons, the employee ownership plan that backfired, and the convergence of financial strain and personal tragedy that led to the sale. He also shares why those hard-won experiences now shape his work as CEO of Family Enterprise Canada and why peer groups may be the most important investment any family in business can make.
