Empowered Owners Podcast
Empowered Ventures
Podcast · 30-45 min per episode; 5+ seasons · For: Everyone, Front line
A long-running company podcast where the CEO interviews one employee owner at a time across Empowered Ventures' businesses. Some episodes are annual ESOP updates that explain the company's results to its owners. It's a model for how an employee-owned company can talk to itself, as well as listening material.
