In this episode of The Social Dialogue Podcast, mother-daughter co-hosts Shane (Gen X) and Jenna (Gen Z) sit down with another dynamic mother-daughter duo: Kate and Lindsey Latts.

Kate Latts is the Co-president and third-generation owner of Heaven Hill Brands, the nation’s largest family-owned and operated distilled spirits supplier - and Lindsey is her daughter, currently building her own career in New York City. Together, they offer a rare, behind-the-scenes look at what it means to grow up inside a legacy brand while still carving out your own identity.

Kate shares what it’s like to lead a multi-generational, family-owned business in a traditionally male-dominated industry - and how authenticity, long-term thinking, and values-based leadership shape both company culture and brand presence.

Lindsey brings a Gen Z perspective to conversations around work, independence, and navigating her post-grad career path.

As always, Shane and Jenna weave in their own mother-daughter banter, exploring how generational perspectives influence friendships, careers, social media, and the way we define success today. The conversation touches on social media strategy, branding with intention, work-life integration (note: NOT work-life balance), and the unique dynamic of being both someone’s daughter and your own person.

This episode is a thoughtful, honest look at legacy, leadership, and the evolving relationship between mothers and daughters across generations.
