  • EP15 - The Right First Question
    Apr 10 2026

    What’s the right first question when an owner starts exploring an ESOP? It may not be “Can my company do one?” In this episode, we unpack why technical possibility and strategic fit are not the same thing. Using the metaphor of the kitchen in a family home, we explore what owners are really trying to preserve, strengthen, and pass on through transition — and why an ESOP works best when it supports the fundamentals rather than distracting from them. A thoughtful conversation for owners considering employee ownership, succession, continuity, and legacy.

  • EP14 - Foundations of Transition- Communication, Culture & Trust
    Apr 3 2026

    In this episode of the Foundations of Transition series, Jason and Makenzie focus on the theme of Communication, Culture & Trust, exploring how these elements shape the success of an ESOP transaction. Each workshop-style conversation in this series is designed to help business owners think more intentionally about the future of their company and the role they play in shaping it.

    This episode encourages owners to consider not just the structure of a transition, but the human side of the process. Jason and Makenzie discuss why clear communication, a healthy company culture, and strong trust between leadership and employees are essential to building momentum and confidence throughout an ESOP journey. Through practical insights, they unpack how intentional communication and cultural alignment can reduce uncertainty and help create a smoother, more successful transition for everyone involved.
