The Family Business Exchange hosts Josh Dunn, founder of Premier Media Group, and his son Caleb Dunn, the company's second-generation leader, for a candid conversation about what it means to build a business — and prepare to pass it on to the next generation. Premier Media Group publishes 425 Business, Northwest Travel + Life, South Sound Business, and more, reaching audiences across the Pacific Northwest. As Josh begins to consider the next phase of his life, Caleb is navigating the real-time work of earned leadership: building credibility, evolving the business, and honoring a legacy while making it his own.

 

Hear both perspectives on what succession really looks like from the inside — the dynamics of stepping back while still being involved, the challenge of stepping up while the founder is still in the room, and what it takes to lead a business that carries your family's name. This conversation offers valuable insights for every family business, whether you’re passing the torch or preparing to carry it.
