We’re joined by Jeff and McKane Martin of Martin Building Group to talk about more than just construction: they unpack what it looks like to build something from the ground up while navigating the tension of independence, legacy, and stepping into business with your dad without losing your own identity.

If you are a family business owner or small business owner looking for:

• Guidance on starting a business with your son (not just inheriting one)
• Balancing independence with legacy in a family business
• OR learning how to build something meaningful together without forcing it

This conversation will give you a real, behind-the-scenes look at what that actually takes.

On Cornerstone Conversations, we explore the unique dynamic of fathers and sons who work together, whether they built something from scratch or carried something forward.

Our mission is to create a space for intentional conversation and storytelling around family business transitions and legacy by enabling more dads to see working with their kids as a discipleship opportunity and more sons to see working with dad as an honor, not a handout.
