So it’s in the early 90’s and I’m recently married, with a couple of kids, a house with a mortgage, two kids (and one on the way) and a minivan and coupe car.

Working hard in the family machine shop 

Thinking that someday I’ll be getting this business.

That’s great! BUT….

I just realized that my single dad - who is the sole owner and President of CARR Machine - has had a serious gf for about 15 years and I hear whispers of them talking about marriage.

OH BOY - this could be a problem.

I knew I had to quickly advance the business succession plan and somehow redirect him on this marriage idea. Listen to the full episode to hear what I did.
