Beyond Struggles: Building Systems for Family Business Success

In this episode of Growing Up B2B, your host Ed Delia speaks with Shawn Kuehn, former President of Kuehn Bevel, Inc., a family manufacturing business. Shawn shares his journey from sweeping factory floors as a kid to leading the company, and the hard lessons learned when a shrinking market forced difficult decisions. He discusses how understanding business numbers and building owner-independent systems transformed operations—and ultimately shaped his current venture, Work Faster, Play Longer. Shawn also offers practical advice for second-generation leaders navigating change while honoring what the first generation built.
