Got to finally ask the question I have been wondering for 19 years.
What does it feel like being a kid told by your parents that we are moving for a new job?
Always heard, "Oh they are fine with it. Kids make friends easily, blah blah". Wondered, is that really what happens? I always imagined dishes flying and doors slamming.
As luck would have it, on this episode of the Family Business we sit with both Christie Blakely and Lauren B.. We get to the bottom of the big family move. Both of them are in the orthopedic space and have made significant impact for patients around the world. People would say "like mother, like daughter". In this case, they are both profoundly independent. Colleagues of a sort.
On top of it, they are rather funny. Some great stories about her Dad raising two daughters while Mom's career flourished. Figuring out pony tails and other important tasks.
Christie is leading sales and marketing at Geistlich Pharma AG while Lauren is forging her own path at DJO. First time in this program that we had a parent and child both in the medical device industry. Compelling perspective and banter between the two.
Go Gators.
