When siblings inherit a family business but disagree about its future direction

My brother and I inherited our family's small business when our dad retired and we have completely different visions for where it should go - he wants to keep things traditional like Dad did and I think we need to modernize or we'll lose everything. We're both trying to honor what Dad built while also keeping the business alive, but our approaches are starting to create real conflict.
