Every family has a story worth telling.

The Family Business Podcast shines a light on the inspiring, often unconventional journeys of family-owned businesses. Through rich conversations and reflections, we explore how families navigate challenges, build legacies, and redefine what it means to achieve generational success. Hosted by Chicago Booth Adjunct Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship Jamie Shah, MBA ’13, a family business leader, educator, and entrepreneur, each episode connects authenticity with aspiration, helping listeners feel seen, understood, and inspired.
