    Entre Familia y Empresa: The Real Conversations

    Las empresas familiares son la base de la economía global, pero la mayoría no logra sobrevivir más allá de la segunda generación. ¿Por qué? En este episodio inaugural, Lisa Morel explora las verdaderas razones por las cuales las empresas familiares se estancan o se venden, no por falta de éxito, sino por la ausencia de conversaciones sobre legado, propiedad, liderazgo y cambio. A través de historias personales y años acompañando familias empresarias, Lisa propone una mirada distinta a la gobernanza y la sucesión. Una que reconoce que detrás de cada estructura hay relaciones humanas, emociones, identidades y vínculos que necesitan espacio para ser atendidos. Este episodio es una invitación a dejar de creer que tu familia es “demasiado complicada” o única en su conflicto. A abrir conversaciones antes de que sea tarde. A proteger no solo el patrimonio económico, sino también el capital emocional y relacional.

Why? In this opening episode, Lisa Morel explores the real reasons family enterprises struggle, not because they aren’t successful businesses, but because families avoid the difficult conversations around ownership, legacy, leadership, and change. Through deeply personal stories and years of experience working with family enterprises across generations, Lisa introduces a different way of thinking about governance, succession, and continuity. One that honors both structure and relationships. One that recognizes that behind every board, trust, or policy, there are human beings navigating identity, emotions, expectations, and belonging. This episode is an invitation to families who share businesses, property, legacy, or history to stop pretending they are alone or uniquely complicated. To open conversations earlier. To protect not only economic value, but relational and emotional capital.
