“This is the clearest we’ve ever felt on what we feel called to do as a family.” – Chris Smith

In today’s episode, we sit down with Chris and Melissa Smith, the innovative founders of Family Brand.

Like many of us, their story began with their definitions of success in family and career pulling against each other. It uncovered gaps in their identity as a family.

Who are we and what are we about?

What is our shared vision and purpose as a family unit?

What started as a needed experiment became a transformative calling. Today, Family Brand helps others identify the core values that pull families together and helps them document their “family brands.”

They discuss the sacred nature of calling and stewardship, emphasizing the central role of family values in shaping a purposeful legacy.

Join us as we explore how the Smiths involve their children in family branding, the influence of societal forces on family dynamics, and their practical approaches to reinforce family identity.

Whether it’s re-enrolling in marriage or empowering children with positive affirmations, the Smiths’ story is a testament to the power of envizioning more from our relationships and the legacy we hope to create.
