We’re joined by Jon and Max Harrell to talk about their family business: Generations Bank, a Northwest Arkansas pillar serving individuals, families, and business across the state for over 100 years. They share the story of how each of them found their way into the banking business and how they've navigated the tension between of being father / son co-workers.

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.
