Ever wondered how “family business” looks when it’s not a legacy empire, just dinner at the kitchen table and your kid running your Instagram ads? In this episode, I sat down with Jenn Green (https://thejenngreen.com/) to talk about leaning all the way into getting help from the people under your own roof—because who said entrepreneurship can’t include floaty bloopers, animated marketing graphics, and a husband who’s definitely not the Elf movie dad?

Jenn and I cover what it really looks like when family pitches in on your business, including swapping default parent roles, making the numbers actually work (including all the sneaky costs of “regular” jobs), setting boundaries when your coworkers are your literal family, and why ordinary business owners might want to delegate.

Key Takeaways:

• Reframe “help” by inviting your family into the business in ways that actually work for your life—no corporate org chart required.

• Get brutally honest about the math: sometimes the best career move is becoming the not-default parent and asking your partner to jump in.

• Normalize paying the kids (or at least giving them skills) for real work, and don’t be afraid to press pause on perfection when you delegate.

This podcast is for business owners who are tired of hustle culture and want relatable, honest conversations about running a sustainable business that actually works for their life.
