We’re joined by Shannon and Graves Schmidly of BHC Insurance to talk about more than just business: they walk through what it really means to step into legacy, build trust over decades, and figure out how a father and son can work side by side without losing either the relationship or the mission of the company.

If you are a family business owner or small business owner looking for:

• Guidance on navigating generational transition
• Building something that lasts
• OR Learning how to lead while still learning

This conversation will give you a real, behind-the-scenes look at what that actually takes.

On Cornerstone Conversations, we explore the unique dynamic of fathers and sons who work together, whether they built something from scratch or carried something forward.

Our mission is to create a space for intentional conversation and storytelling around family business transitions and legacy by enabling more dads to see working with their kids as a discipleship opportunity and more sons to see working with dad as an honor, not a handout.
