Interview with Ellen Frankenberg
Ellen helps Jim discuss how to manage working with your family, with all the business stress, and then share in family settings with these same people. The challenge is to be able to partition the two areas of your life so that you can be productive and successful in the business, and civil and loving in the family circle. Ellen provides tools that will help you leave the business at the office, especially during the holidays.
