Alisha has questions and they won’t answer themselves.
A platform for family business discoveryA Personal Note:
Dear Reader,
What business insights are hiding in our family histories? When does it make sense to move family activities into the marketplace? What can we learn from enterprises that thrived—and those that didn't survive?
These are the questions driving my exploration of how family and business intersect. The idea has been haunting me for a while, historically in private. Thoughts interrupt my work. Questions compel me to understand more. When enough information accumulates, something has to come out. Usually, I talk to the water. Sometimes I talk to myself. But I am always writing something down.
This is how I process—turning observations into insights, questions into research, patterns into frameworks. What you'll find here is that process moved from post-it notes, internet searches and journal entries to this platform - formalized but still exploratory. It’s a glimpse into the continual ticker running in my brain - my random (or not so random) thoughts made visible: the journey from curiosity to understanding, documented as I discover insights worth sharing.
With gratitude,
AlishaWhat You’ll Find Here:
Business model deep dives, industry overviews and frameworks. We dig until we hit something.-
Exploring elder care as a business opportunity and family consideration. From my grandmother's board and care experience to today's market landscape - examining service models, regulatory environments, and emerging opportunities in an evolving industry.
-
Additional topics to be determined based on research discoveries, but currently considering:
• Historical business legacies and their modern applications
• Heritage hospitality and property acquisition strategies
• Contemporary family business development
Detours - squishy and shiny things.“Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.”
