Casting
Building a company is difficult. Getting it safely to the next generation may be harder.
Built to last. A show advisor.TV is casting a host for.
The premise
How privately owned Jacksonville companies survive succession.
Why Jacksonville needs this conversation.
Jacksonville runs on privately held companies that are now reaching a leadership handoff. Whether they survive it decides who employs the city in twenty years, and nobody is documenting how those handoffs actually go.
The conversations
Six subjects to open with.
- 01When the founder should step back
- 02Choosing family or outside leadership
- 03Preparing the next generation
- 04Ownership without employment
- 05Surviving family disagreement
- 06Protecting culture through transition
The roster
People who belong in the chair.
- Family business owners
- Second generation executives
- Longstanding local companies
- Employee owned businesses
- Presidents replacing founders
- Board members
- Succession advisors
Roles, not names. Guests are invited by the host, never sold.
The person who should host it
A multigenerational business leader or respected operator who has lived through ownership and leadership transition.
The pilot
Two episodes, produced end to end.
What we do
Studio, cameras, sound, direction, editing and publishing. We produce the episodes and put them in front of the people building Jacksonville.
What you do
You host. You invite the people you genuinely want to know and learn from, and you carry the conversation.
What happens next
We watch how the two episodes land. If the conversations are strong, we greenlight a six episode season. If they are not, we say so plainly.
The host
Who we are looking for.
Every host we work with clears the same bar, whatever the subject.
- Jacksonville based or deeply connected
- Respected operator
- Access to excellent guests
- Curious on camera
- Able to bring their network
- Editorial judgment

Step 1

Step 2
Two episode pilot
We produce two episodes end to end. You host.
Step 3
Greenlight
If the conversations work, the show moves forward.
Step 4
