You care about your business. But do your employees? If you’re like most small business owners, you want employees who make smart decisions, take ownership of their work, care about the results, and want to help the company succeed. But when employees are checked out, doing the bare minimum, or walking out the door, it’s easy to blame bad culture, generational differences, or the idea that nobody wants to work anymore. What if the problem isn’t your people? What if it’s the way your business is designed to reward them? The Bonus Podcast is the show for small business owners who want to rethink the way they pay, reward, and incentivize their employees. Hosted by Andrew Lamppa, founder of Built to Benefit, each episode explores how intentional employee bonus and incentive plans can create better performance, stronger retention, greater ownership, and a more profitable business. Because simply handing out a surprise bonus or giving someone another raise doesn’t automatically make them care more. In fact, poorly designed incentives can backfire. Andrew believes the better approach is to create a system where employees understand what success looks like, know how they contribute to it, and share in the upside when they help create it. From performance bonuses and profit sharing to employee expectations, accountability, retention, and the psychology behind what actually motivates people, Andrew breaks down practical strategies for building incentive plans that work for both the business and the people helping build it. Your employees can make more money and your business can become more profitable. They can work harder without feeling taken advantage of. And they can care about the success of the business as much as you do. Andrew specifically identified a smoother-running, more profitable company—and employees who think, act, and care like owners—as the destination of this work. You don’t need employees who stay because they can’t afford to leave. You need employees who stay because they’re invested in what you’re building.Copyright 2026 Andrew Lamppa Economics Leadership Management Management & Leadership
