Family Business 101: Raising Future Entrepreneurs

This week on GoodMom, Sunny and Lindsay are rolling up their sleeves and diving into a topic that’s part parenting lesson, part business strategy, and 100% real life — building a family business (and surviving it 😂).

Sunny shares how her family turned a simple summer project — converting old VHS tapes to digital — into a potential small business that’s teaching her kids way more than just tech skills. From brainstorming and market research to finding their first real customer (who’s not even related!), this episode is all about showing kids that if they can’t find what they love out there, they can create it themselves. 💡

Lindsay, a seasoned entrepreneur coach, drops some seriously good advice about what makes a family business actually work. (Spoiler: it’s not just about cute logos and big dreams!) She explains why every venture needs a clear leader — even if that usually ends up being Mom 🙋‍♀️ — and how to set real responsibilities that teach kids teamwork, accountability, and follow-through.

👩‍👧‍👦 In This Episode:

  • How Sunny’s VHS project turned into a real business idea 🎥

  • The top 3 things every family business needs to succeed 🏆

  • How to keep kids engaged when the newness wears off 😅

  • The importance of starting small (and staying scrappy!) before going “official”

  • Lindsay’s hilarious story about launching her own storytelling business while pregnant 🤰💻

  • Why failure, frustration, and flexibility are all part of the journey 💪

💬 Favorite Moments:

“Whether this business takes off or not, my goal is to teach my kids how to follow through.” – Sunny

💡 Big Takeaway:
Running a business as a family isn’t just about making money — it’s about making memories, building confidence, and showing your kids what’s possible when they take an idea and run with it. 🚀
