        Mar 23 2021

        This week I sit down with Don McAllister - President at Lionakis (www.lionakis.com). Lionakis is a Sacramento based design firm that has been in business for 112 (!!!) years. They specialize in the design of Education, Healthcare, Civic and Science & Technology facilities.  

        Don and I dive into what it takes to successfully transition ownership multiple times across multiple generations. We also talk about professional development and culture - specifically sticking with what works vs. evolving and making sure not to stagnate.
