A Family’s succession story: The Connells Part 2

When Scott and Renae got married and started a family, they dreamed of having their own dairy. It made perfect sense to team up with Scott’s parents in the family dairy business and begin what they thought was a clear succession plan road map. But balancing the family relationships alongside the business put the pressure on, and soon the cracks began to emerge. In this episode we hear from Scott’s parents and learn how the family got their succession plan back on track.
