Today is Scotland’s Family Business Day, and we couldn’t think of a better day to officially launch our brand new podcast, Clocking Out Rich!

Family businesses are the backbone of our economy, yet they often don’t get the specialised support they need to scale, plan for the future, and navigate the unique challenges that come with working with family. That’s why we created this podcast, to bring real, practical advice straight to the people who need it most.

Hosted by Kingsmith founders, Mary Ann Smith & Paul Kingham, Clocking Out Rich is all about helping family businesses build success that works for them, not the other way around.

🔹 What You’ll Get:
💡 Real-world strategies for growth & succession planning
📊 Insights on financial sustainability & leadership development
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Honest conversations about the realities of running a family business
🔗 Expert advice from Kingsmith-Your Family Business Experts

✨ Episode 1 is out NOW! We’re starting with Who We Are and What is a Family Business & Why Does It Matter? As we break down what makes family businesses different, why they’re so important, and why they need the right kind of support to thrive.

So, whether you’re clocking out at the end of the day, the weekend, or stepping away from your business completely, this podcast will help make sure your journey is rich in health, wealth, time, and experiences.
