Devin Deiantis: On Strategy, Family Businesses, and Building for the Long Term

In this in-depth conversation, we explore how strategy, longevity, and adaptability shape the world’s most enduring organizations. From family-owned enterprises to modern corporations, this discussion unpacks what it really takes to build businesses that survive generations, not just market cycles. Drawing from history, economics, systems thinking, and real-world examples, the conversation challenges short-term thinking and reframes strategy as a long-term, values-driven discipline. We examine why family enterprises dominate global economies, how they balance risk and resilience, and what modern leaders can learn from organizations that have thrived for centuries. This episode is essential viewing for leaders, strategists, founders, and anyone interested in sustainable growth, long-term decision-making, and organizational resilience.
