“Yellowstone”

Is It The Real World?

Who hasn't heard of “Yellowstone”?

A television series revolving around family drama, land disputes and ongoing clashes between developers and ranchers.

The family patriarch owning the ranch, John Dutton is willing to fight tooth and nail to protect his land and legacy.

Conflicts with neighbouring ranchers, land developers, the dynamics of the Indian Reservation and within the family itself are a constant struggle for existence.

Power play, corruption, loyalty and belief systems are highlighted in a colourful representation of the complexities of family, land ownership and the clash between tradition and progress.

So, does it have any parallel to “real” life?

We live with these interactions daily. Family discord is not uncommon, the fight for power, ownership and control is also a commonality globally.

At any level, a business can be a “Yellowstone” mixing bowl. Family interactions can impact a business, both positively and negatively. Seeking dominance in the marketplace and a desire to maintain control over assets can cause untold conflict.
