It Runs In The Family
Hello! We're Liz & Leila Willingham and welcome to "It Runs In The Family". We're the mother and daughter duo working within the public relations and communications agency, Liz Lean PR. Running a business is hard - really hard. Every business has its challenges and it's own ups and downs - but in a family business, this is often exaggerated by the willingness to speak your mind. But it also has some huge advantages that the corporate cultures just can't compete with. In this podcast, featuring a different family business guest in each episode, we're going to be digging into the stories, values and traditions of other family and multi-generational businesses. We'll explore their history, learnings and how they've developed through the generations and the unique advantages they've had over their competitors. We discover where human relationship migrates into business; the ups, downs, twists, turns and landmark moments that seal the fate of these fascinating organisations. You’ll get to hear some brilliant life stories too; some to make you laugh and others that’ll warm your heart. Many of our clients are family businesses who we've worked very closely with over a number of years - we've heard brilliant stories that reveal true values and fun operating as a family business. We want you to feel inspired by stories of others, find their honesty relatable and reach out to us with your own experiences. If you have any questions for future guests, have a story of your own or have any feedback please do feel free to get in touch on our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itrunsinthefamilypodcast/

The beauty behind KINN Living is that it’s born from passion, honesty & transparency in a world where sustainability grows in importance and greenwashing becomes more prevalent.
Marie & Sophie started the business with a wonderful, mother-daughter, Co-Founder rapport which helps them to tackle challenges together.

This episode covers:
- The cleaning product industry’s growing awareness of sustainability
- Combatting the frustrating increase in ‘greenwashing’
- Keeping separation between family, home life and work life
- Overcoming challenges to work with larger retailers
- Breaking the mother-daughter dynamic to make business decisions together
