What sets family businesses apart? It's the deep-rooted, purpose-driven values that don't just preserve tradition—they shape what comes next. These values aren't just sentimental—they're strategic. Research shows that companies led by families who prioritize their core values outperform competitors, build lasting loyalty, and weather challenges with resilience.
In this episode of Up In Your (Family) Business, we sit down with Jeff Boone, co-owner of Cowpokes Work & Western and Jeff Boone Auction & Realty, to explore how values become more than words—they become a way of doing business.
We explore how family business values are defined, lived, and passed down across generations—and how they drive long-term success, shape company culture, and inform everyday decision-making.
Jeff shares real-life examples of values in action—moments where they've guided tough decisions, shaped customer relationships, and united generations. We also dig into the intentional ways families can keep those values alive and relevant.
Whether you're preparing to hand the reins to the next generation or reflecting on the one that came before, this episode will challenge and encourage you to align your values with how your business operates—and how it continues to grow with purpose and thrive in the long run.
