What if you could grow your family business without losing the relationships that matter most? Too many family businesses succeed financially while quietly falling apart personally. This episode explores how to avoid that. "I feel like the business is creating distance in my family." "Growth is bringing more pressure and conflict." "How do we scale without losing trust?" "I don't want success to come at the expense of relationships." "Can family and business actually work together long term?" This conversation gives you the answer. In this episode, Christina Armentano, Chief Marketing Officer and third-generation leader at Paraco, shares how her family business has grown into one of the largest privately held propane distribution companies in the Northeast while protecting the relationships and values that built the company in the first place. Christina explains why exposure to the business at a young age mattered, how outside work experience shaped her leadership, and what family businesses often misunderstand about growth, succession, and long-term stewardship.
