This article is part of our Beyond the Family Business series.
Hosted by Luke Hansen-MacDonald, a second-generation family business leader, Beyond the Family Business is one of the most thoughtful and engaging podcasts about family enterprise in Canada. In every episode, Luke goes beyond the headlines with other leaders in family businesses and family offices to explore lessons they have learned, their successes and their challenges.
In this episode, Luke sits down with a member of his family, and executes a role reversal: his cousin Colin interviews Luke.
Hansen-MacDonald is president of HanMac Capital, a family office based in Halifax, N.S. In this conversation, he shares:
- What was the catalyst for starting HanMac Capital.
- Why a proactive approach to succession and to investment for the next generation is essential.
- What opportunities are sparking excitement within his private equity fund, Founders East.
- What he hopes to share with his daughters and the true meaning of having a purpose.
Previous episodes of “Beyond the Family Business” on Canadian Family Offices feature K.C. Daya, Jeffrey McCain, Ian Wilson, Derrick Hunter, Pierre Somers, Ben Hertzman, Lee Bragg and Danielle Saputo.
