Stand still long enough and I’ll knit you a sweater, put you in my novel, or explain why pro-wrestling is actually great || Managing Editor @PermanentEquity

@timhanso “Fell in.”

The question of "What makes a good succession plan?" is one just about everybody – BigCo CEOs and boards, SmallBiz founders, kings, queens & fictional characters – seems to struggle with.

@PermanentEquity's Succession Planning Library launches via email & LI this Thursday.

[Emily Holdman @emilyleldridge]

When I talk to family-owned businesses, one of the first things that comes up as a pain point is succession planning. No one seems to know the right way to go about it, or if they have the good plan.

@timhanso, @SarahBethGDub, and I have been working on a @PermanentEquity tool to address this challenge for the last 6 months. It’s set to release as a series of 15+ weekly emails beginning this week.

Each installment is framed as a question, which is then answered in 3-4 parts:
1. Curated research and results
2. Our Take (how we are addressing this among our own companies)
3. Case Studies (sometimes)
4. Characters to Consider (sometimes)

Introduction launches Wednesday.
First Installment launches Thursday.

Link to subscribe to the series is in the next tweet.

If you have thoughts/recs to contribute to this series, please reach out.

@timhanso Just a heads up that our next content meeting is going to be entirely composed of questions about this kitten.

[Sarah George-Waterfield @SarahBethGDub]

I mean, if it’s gonna be Monday…

[Sarah George-Waterfield @SarahBethGDub]

@keliemorgan @girdley @MainStSummit @timhanso This is the most @timhanso interaction I’ve ever heard.

[Sarah George-Waterfield @SarahBethGDub]

I mean, Vandy, obviously.

Anchor down, y’all!

@emilyleldridge @EricJorgenson @BrentBeshore @markbrooks HUGE second to this!

[Sarah George-Waterfield @SarahBethGDub]

@emilyleldridge Emily! This is the most delightful place!

When you’re about to move and a new bar opens up down the street that’s all book-themed cocktails, has seating like library carrels, and carries books from the local used book store, it’s almost like Asheville is begging you to stay.

@michaelnewt Urgent care for the win on this one. Thanks, Michael!

That moment when you realize that your poison ivy rash is not, in fact “on the downhill” but instead merely paused to gather the strength and vigor required to spread EVERYWHERE.

@mideenigmA @BrentBeshore Only paperback and kindle versions (for now?!). Will keep an audiobook in mind, though.

[Sarah George-Waterfield @SarahBethGDub]

@BrentBeshore You should see our cats 🦝 🦝🦝

[Sarah George-Waterfield @SarahBethGDub]

Looks like the trail’s taken this morning.

Also, thanks to @timhanso for the extensive convo a few months ago on what to do if you're attacked by a bear. Prescient.

(I was not attacked by a bear. But I was ready.)

Just packing for a flight out of Orlando with the Sisyphean knowledge I may be unpacking tonight in the same hotel room.

[Sarah George-Waterfield @SarahBethGDub]

@DavidACover Putting this on my list immediately.

As always, C. S. Lewis said it best:

"I don’t have my novel outlined and I have to write to discover what I am doing. Like the old lady, I don’t know so well what I think until I see what I say; then I have to say it over again."

Thanks Flannery. Episode 5 up now!
