Leading a Family Business Without Lowering the Bar
Sun Dec 28 2025
🎧 Podcast Description: In this episode of Enrich Your Empire, I sit down with Lauren Moran Zazzetta, our Senior Director of Marketing, franchisee mentor, and yes, my niece. But this isn't a feel-good family story. This is about what it really takes to lead inside a family business, and why we don't believe in free passes, only high standards.
We talk about:
Why working with family means raising expectations, not lowering them
How to build trust and culture when the personal and professional overlap
What real leadership looks like when the mission matters more than the title
How legacy isn't given, it's earned
This one's for the leaders, the entrepreneurs, and the next-gen business owners creating something bigger than themselves.
