David Simpson, Ivey Lecturer and Director of the Business Families Initiative at Morrissette Entrepreneurship, was invited to The Business of Family podcast, where he spoke about the intersection of education, entrepreneurship, and family legacy.
A former professional hockey player turned entrepreneur and educator, Simpson joined host Tammy Buss to share how his diverse career shaped his understanding of what makes family businesses thrive—or struggle. From generational dynamics to the emotional side of succession, Simpson offered practical wisdom for founders, next-generation leaders, and anyone passionate about sustaining family enterprises for the long term.
