Lessons from family business

Family businesses employ 60% of the global workforce and are essential to the economy and our communities. However, the blend of business and family can make and break enterprises of all sizes. This show takes you beyond the family business to learn about the multi-generational lessons only business families know.

LUKE HANSEN-MACDONALD

Luke is a 2nd generation of the Atlantic Canadian Hansen-MacDonald family. Since he was 18 years old, Luke has devoted his life to working with family. This may seem like insanity to some, but it has given him a wide range of amazing opportunities including:

  • Music Video Director

  • Seafood Product Manager

  • Private Equity Principal

  • Real Estate Investor

  • Manufacturing CEO

  • Family Office Leader

Family is still Luke’s #1 priority. He works daily with his mother, father and brother. Outside of work, he spends much of his time with his wife and two daughters.
