    Why Most Family Businesses Fail At Succession Planning | Ft. Warsha Joshi

Warsha shares her incredible journey, starting from scrubbing raw materials on the floor of her mother's factory to becoming a top advisor for family businesses in the MENA region.  She breaks down the critical difference between raising an "heir" and raising a "custodian", and why succession planning is about values, not just legal documents. The conversation dives deep into the reality of leaving the corporate world—where you go from being "somebody" to "nobody" —and explores the "Path of Least Resistance" mindset that helped her navigate life-threatening challenges without ever "fighting" them.  This episode is for business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs, and anyone focused on building a legacy that outlasts them. 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲: Warsha mentions the TED Talk “𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴?
