    Make Boards Work - With Charles "Chuck" Bender

    We covered a lot of ground - what the Navy taught Chuck about running a company, why he builds his advisory boards specifically around his blind spots, and the difference between healthy ego and toxic ego in the boardroom. One thing we kept coming back to: the worst place to be as a CEO isn't uncertainty. It's being absolutely certain and absolutely wrong.  That's where a good board earns its keep.

    Make Boards Work - With Stefan Kirchhofer

    We got into something I don't think gets discussed enough, how governance actually works (and often doesn't) in family businesses. The unwritten rules. The baggage. The sibling who was bad at math now running finance. We also talked about what Stefan has come to believe is the crowning moment of entrepreneurship: knowing when to let go. When you're no longer the best owner. And a line Stefan emphasizes: sunlight is the best disinfectant. Conflicts of interest handled at the start are rarely a big deal. Handled late, they destroy trust. If you work with family businesses, sit on boards, or are thinking about bringing in outside capital, I think you'll find this one useful.

    Make Boards Work - With Henri Kuehnert

    We talked about what actually happens inside boardrooms when things go wrong. The ego games. The power imbalances. The moments where trust breaks and nobody recovers. Henri shared a line he has been saying for years: there are only two ways to have a real voice on a board. As chairperson. Or as the one board member closest to the founder. Everything else is decoration. We also got into the prisoner's dilemma that plays out when a company is dying. Why investors send associates instead of partners, and what that really signals. And why IQ is massively overrated in the boardroom.
