The perspective, know-how and innate knowledge that come from being born into an industry, surrounded by people passionate about it, make one very much a part of that world. Skills and visions may take a lifetime to build, to mould or perfect but what one can learn from generations past is priceless. Through these interviews with second and third generation family members who have decided to join their family operations, we gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and balance needed to drive one’s professional life forward.

But this taught me how to be proactive and think outside the box. It’s important to familiarise yourself with every aspect of the business and learn from the family members who have been there before you, but it’s as important to be able to find your niche in the business and figure out where and how you can contribute based on your own set of skills.
