Running a family business sounds good – until big decisions, pressure, and different opinions hit. Geoff Harrison and Mitch Harrison get into the reality of working father and son – how they handle decision-making, where they coordinate and clash, and how they’ve managed the business handover as Geoff steps back, and Mitch steps up.
It’s a straight look at keeping the business moving without blowing up the relationship. They also unpack the shift from old-school craftsmanship to modern systems, what’s worth changing and what isn’t. Plus, how business standards, habits, and expectations get passed down to the next crew. This is more than a family business handover – it's legacy.
If you've got somebody else coming through and you want them to take the business over, you've got to let them — you've got to let go.Geoff Harrison, Harrisons Joinery
