Running a business means navigating change, making difficult decisions and constantly looking ahead. Whether you are growing your company, preparing for a transition or planning your next chapter, Open for Business examines the business and personal issues that come with ownership.

Hosted by Stuart Brown and Norman Kallen (business advisors who happen to be attorneys), the podcast features candid conversations with entrepreneurs, executives, authors and other advisors who bring practical experience and fresh perspectives to the challenges business owners face. Topics range from leadership and company culture to succession planning, private equity, wealth management and personal growth.

Open for Business goes beyond theory to explore real-world experiences, practical lessons and informed perspectives that can help business owners make better decisions about their companies, their families and what comes next.
