Episode 7. Family Matters: How to Nail Culture in a Family Business w/ Darius Lyvers

If Thanksgiving has taught us anything, it’s that family can be tough.

So, it’s amazing how many family-run businesses succeed and grow.

But that growth means new, non-familial employees. How do you adopt them into the family

On our show today, Darius Lyvers, COO of F.H. Furr Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning, shares some do’s and don’ts for growing a family business. 

Darius has had some bad experiences as an outsider in a family company, but he’s also had great success. In fact, he’s been at the same family-owned business for over 20 years.

What we talked about:

-The pitfalls of growing a family business (and how to overcome them)

-How passion, work ethic and empathy combine to create sales success

-How to systematize these qualities when building your team
