Show Notes

In this episode, Jennifer Kluge sits down with Adam and Alex Krenke, Co-CEOs of Quest CE, to explore what it takes to lead a thriving second-generation family business. The Krenkes share their journey from working summer jobs in a seven-person company to leading a 50-person national operation specializing in compliance and continuing education for financial institutions.

They discuss how trust, communication, and complementary strengths make their co-leadership work, along with the lessons they’ve learned from their parents’ entrepreneurial legacy. The conversation covers everything from adapting to hybrid work and leveraging AI, to protecting company culture and fostering employee longevity.

Adam and Alex also open up about family life, daily rituals, and the advice they’d give the next generation—reminding listeners that leadership is as much about people as it is about performance.
