Hi–I’m Brion.

I help concerned parents, typically parents who are business owners, how to organize family meetings.

My Story

Over the last 15 years I worked in tech working with over 120 companies worldwide. I lived and worked in Japan, London, Chicago and now in Bay Area California.

I met Jenny on March 5th, 2021. We fell in love on our first date, and I have been by her side ever since. During our initial encounter, Jenny shared she had two boys who unexpectedly lost their biological father when they were two and four years old.

Jenny initially felt nervous about introducing me to her boys, who were now ages 11 and 14. However, with each passing weekend, the boys and I grew closer. They would run up and hug me when I arrived, and as I embraced them, Jenny would stand back, watch us, and say, “You know, they love you.”
A concerned parent, Jenny explained some of the challenges she had raising the boys alone. The youngest— struggling with borderline diabetes and a weight problem. The oldest seemly becoming distant, late to school and struggling to do this homework.
What I witnessed was important life lessons and crucial human interactions took place on the way to school. We would toss the boys a few lazy clichés. Before you knew it, the car door would slam shut, and they were off to school—smartphones in hand, leaving the rest up to their teachers and devices. And that wasn’t right.
I proposed The Family Meeting framework to Jenny. A long form conversation with the boys each Sunday. This provided ample time to address important issues with the boys. After 3 years, and 150 meetings later our youngest has lost 30 pounds, our oldest is doing his homework, punctual and ready to take over the family business.
Jenny and I both come from large, extensive families—Jenny is of Chinese and Vietnamese descent, and I have a large Greek family. Our families have witnessed the progress over the years and are thrilled by the change in the boys. They always ask in amazement the same question: “How did you do it?”
After explaining The Family Meeting meeting framework the response is always the same, can you show me or explain to me how you do it?
As requested, this is it…

The Family Meeting Framework is now available as an online course.
