Employee, Owner, Founder: What People Never See Behind a Business

What does a business really look like from different seats at the table? In this episode of It’s Family Business, we’re joined by Elise Burgess, daughter of Adrian and Cheryl. Having recently undertaken her own entrepreneurial journey, Elise brings a unique perspective on how business feels from both sides.

Together, we explore how business looks completely different depending on your role as either an employee, a leader, a founder, or someone just starting out on their own. From misconceptions about working for your parents, to the unseen pressures business owners carry, this conversation unpacks what most people never get to see behind a small business. We dive into the realities of balancing family and work, the shift in mindset between being an employee and becoming a business owner, generational differences in the workplace, and the lessons that come from growing up around entrepreneurship. The Panel also touches on trust, leadership, delegation, workplace dynamics, and what it really takes to build and sustain a business.

Whether you’re a young professional building your career, an aspiring entrepreneur, or a business owner navigating leadership and growth, this episode offers an honest look at the perspectives, pressures, and lessons that shape life inside a business.
