OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
In this episode, we’re joined by Aileen Miziolek, consultant with The Family Business Consulting Group, where she works with business-owning families to design strategies and processes that support both enterprise success and healthy relationships across generations. With more than 20 years of experience in complex financial and estate planning, along with designations in financial planning, family enterprise advising, and systems coaching, Aileen brings both professional depth and lived understanding to her work. Her roots in a farming family, experience as an entrepreneur, and work as co-author of Inspired Wealth: Financial Leadership for the 21st Century all shape the way she supports families through questions of wealth, ownership, legacy, and change. Our conversation explores what can happen when families slow down long enough to notice the patterns shaping their decisions.
We talk about the space between what has been inherited and what can still be chosen, especially when legacy, ownership, and relationships are all in motion. We also look at why families sometimes need to pause before they can move forward and how honest reflection, careful listening, and openness to new ways of thinking can create more room for trust, learning, and better decisions across generations.
