In this episode of Chasing Unleashed, Dan Weedin sits down with Clif and CK McKenzie—the father-son duo behind Watson Furniture—to unpack one of the most intentional succession plans you’ll ever hear.
Clif, the father and CEO, shares how a health scare lit a fire under his plans to pass the baton. CK, a former Marine with zero interest in cubicles, reveals why he changed his mind about joining the family business—and how he as the President is turning leadership into a team sport.
They talk legacy, servant leadership, and the emotional tug-of-war of letting go without disappearing.
It’s raw, insightful, and packed with lessons for any business owner thinking about what happens next.
Whether you’re a family business owner, a leadership nerd, or just curious about how transitions really work—you don’t want to miss this one.
