Speaker 2 (00:01):
I'm Ali Mack and I'm Mike.
Speaker 1 (00:03):
Does anybody work with their parents or work with their kids?
We're talking about like handing your career down or like
following in the footsteps something that happened in my family.
I come from a family of all teachers.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, that's wild. I didn't realize both of your sisters,
did that?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Not both of my sisters. Just one of my sisters.
She is a second grade teacher. Okay, my dad, like
the whole side of my dad's family all teachers.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Really.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
My other sister's a doctor.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Oh yeah, good for her.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
So she it's kind of like she's a teacher because
she went to school for a.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Really long time. It's similar.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
But we we think we may have found the next
gen of radio. You're passing it down.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I don't fully know. My daughter, her name is Cecily.
I have a two sons as well, Milo and Sebastian.
She is ten years old and if you've ever met her,
she's like a little spitfire, Like she's got this personality.
When she walks into a room, people just pay attention.
It's just a very big personality. She's very outgoing. She
(01:06):
can make friends with anybody. She's a sweetheart. And she's
been coming with me to these to radio events since
I heard like ten years ago, so I've been doing
radio for almost nineteen years. So she was coming to
events with me because there were times where truly we
didn't have a sitter, so I had to do something.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, but ever.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Since she was little, she's been coming to all these
things with me. And she likes coming to the studio.
She likes go She on the other show I was on,
she would go to the Detroit studios. And she's just
been ingrained in all of this. My boys actually haven't
done a lot of this stuff as much as she has.
And she had a field trip recently and they let
her pick jobs and then she go and does the
(01:46):
job or whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
And one of those on.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
That list, because she got to pick from a bunch
of jobs, was radio and they randomly select it.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
And they randomly selected radio for it.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Which is so funny because usually when they go to
those types of things, yeah, job fairs or they had
career day or whatever, like radio was never on that
list when we were growing up.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Huh huh.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
There's a whole Yeah, so she got to do a
different In fact, she didn't choose the job that they
gave her.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
She actually chose what we do.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
She she was given like sales, I believe, and so
she like really dove into it. But I had her
come here and meet all some of our sales staff,
which was amazing. They were incredible, and she had really
a lot of fun in the field, Chap. But she
genuinely is interested in doing what we do. And I've
never pushed it. I've never said that's what you should do,
because I don't know, Like I don't I don't know
(02:34):
if I I.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Don't even know how to do that. I don't know
where to start with that, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
There isn't like a ton of I'm not gonna call
it nepotism, but like there isn't a ton of that
in radio. Like there's a few cases, and in those cases,
like it just it's in the blood, yeah, you know.
But I don't know of too many people that kind
of pass radio down to their kids.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
And I would love to do I'd love to hear
the stories of people who did do it and whether
it's this successful or not. Because my dad wanted me
to be an electrician, and I just that wasn't in
the cards.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I'm not gonna be an electrician. Yeah, I have not
built for that.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
James on TikTok Live says he always wanted to work
with his kids, but he did it the opposite way.
His son started a flooring company, and now he works
for his son at the flooring company. Isn't that cool?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That is very cool?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
What did what career got passed down in your family?
What do you do? Do you work with your mom
or dad? Do you work with your kids? Curious to
know how that dynamic plays out in a workplace.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah, because I think I would start her young, like
maybe this summer, have let her drop in a couple
of days and just sit in the background.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
That would be cool.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I don't want to push it on her either, you know,
because once I get excited, I'm gonna be like, all right,
sess Like I had her come in with a notebook.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I was like, you, you gotta have five questions? What where?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
When?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Why?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Like you gotta have fought like I've made sure she
was prepared for this, And I don't know if that
I need to push her on that know.

How did it work?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
She actually seen it on Indeed, her her dream job
was mine, which was a dental hygh denist that I
did not pursue. And she's seen it an indeed that
my company was doing it on the dog training and
behind my back a five and got it. So what's
that together?

Do you work together now?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
We work at the same place. And actually she's on
a different site because she went to a different site
training for purposes of, you know, conflict of interests with
mother daughter. But there's another mother and daughter at our job.
One's a dental assistant and one is a hygienist. We're
the second pair of parents mother daughter.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Oh that's cool, it is cool. And were you exciting it?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Oh? Yeah, I was happy that she chose that. And
then she was with us for two years because they
pay for her schooling and whatnot. And then she starts

Speaker 3 (05:19):
That is a great one. I was just thinking about
my buddy too, Matt, Matt Vieerink. His whole family obviously
runs Vieerns and they all work together too, and like
it seems to go smoothly. I just always wonder, like
what if there is an issue?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Because you see that in families, right, yes, yeah, yeah,
usually when there's a family business involved, like some of
the next gen are like, I'm absolutely going into the
family business, and then you have some next gen that
are like, I'm absolutely not going into the family business.
