The Science of Sustainable Leadership with Dr. Mike Christian

In family businesses, leadership isn’t just about performance, it’s about endurance, relationships, and legacy. But what if sustaining yourself as a leader wasn’t about pushing harder?   In this episode of Family Business Matters, host Cooper Biersach sits down with Dr. Mike Christian, award-winning researcher and expert in human energy and resilience, to explore a different approach: energy crafting.   Together, they unpack why the traditional narrative of grit and burnout falls short, especially in family enterprises where leaders carry overlapping roles and emotional demands. Mike shares how energy, physical, cognitive, and emotional, is not fixed, but something leaders can actively generate, direct, and renew. You’ll learn: * Why resilience is really a story of energy, not endurance * How your personal energy directly shapes your team and culture * Practical ways to identify hidden “energy leaks” and make small, meaningful shifts This conversation reframes leadership capacity as something you can intentionally design, not just sustain. In Notes:   * Usual Get Connected Link * Mike Christian [https://mikechristian.web.unc.edu/] * 6 “Ms” of Energy Crafting * Motion and Rest * Mastery Experience * Making Connections * Meaning * Mindfulness * My Choice * 3 Cs of Hardiness * Commitment * Control * Challenge

From Anxiety to Curiosity: Tools from Bowen Systems Theory with Dr. Kathleen Smith

In this episode of Family Business Matters, host Cooper Biersach [https://www.linkedin.com/in/cooperbiersach/]sits down with therapist and bestselling author Dr. Kathleen Smith [https://kathleensmithwrites.com/] to explore how Bowen Family Systems Theory can transform the way we understand ourselves, our families, and our roles in family enterprises.   Kathleen breaks down how anxiety moves through a family, why we repeat automatic patterns, and how even small shifts in our behavior can change long‑standing dynamics. Together, Cooper and Kathleen discuss real-world examples, including a multigenerational family business scenario, to illustrate how concepts like triangles and differentiation show up in everyday work and life.   Listeners will walk away with: * A clear, conversational introduction to Bowen Theory * Practical ways to observe and interrupt reactivity * First steps for applying these ideas in your family or family enterprise   Whether you’re leading a family business, navigating complex relationships, or simply curious about how families operate, this episode offers tools to help you respond thoughtfully rather than react automatically.
