Running a family business can have its fair share of challenges, including the inability in some cases to outlive its founders for generations to come. 

However, Emma Miloyo will tell you that running a family business has a lot of advantages, including the sense of trust built.

She has successfully navigated the world of entrepreneurship with her husband to build an architectural firm - Design Source - and a school - Kiota School.

As the first female President of the Architectural Society of Kenya (ASK), Emma has built a reputation as a trustee name in architecture and has worked on several high-profile projects in Kenya.

When asked how she decided to get into the world of education despite her architectural background, Emma says that the two fields are not are related because children need a conducive ecosystem (which includes buildings) to thrive. 

What does she think about the state of the real estate industry in Kenya and the move to the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC)?

Emma tells it all on this week's episode of She Means Business.
