  • Money Matters, Part 1: The Cash Conversation Every Family Business Must Have
    May 21 2025

    Cash and profitability are not the same thing—and ignoring that truth can sink a business.

    In this episode of Family Business Breakthroughs, host Jim Berner sits down with Betsy Bixby, founder of Meridian Associates, to unpack one of the most misunderstood parts of business: cash.

    From decades of experience helping family companies thrive, Betsy shares the critical difference between having a profit and having available cash—and why so many business owners miss the mark.

    You’ll learn:

    • What “true cash position” really means (and how to calculate yours)
    • The 3 metrics that make or break your cash flow
    • How often you really need to review your cash—daily, weekly, or monthly?
    • Real stories of cash flow blind spots that cost businesses hundreds of thousands
    • How the 7 Quick Cash Fixes book has helped owners unlock millions

    Whether you’re leading a thriving company or navigating financial stress, this episode is packed with insights you can act on immediately.
