Scenario

When families inherit businesses that conflict with their values

My siblings and I inherited our parents' small business and we're split on whether to keep running it the way they did - which was profitable but involved some practices we're uncomfortable with - or change it to align with our values even though that might mean less money for all our families.

More people experience this than they realize.
