In this episode, Makenzie and Jason explore how anyone, regardless of title or department, can create enterprise value from their seat in the company. In an employee-owned environment, revenue generation isn’t limited to sales roles; it’s a mindset rooted in ownership. They break down how every function contributes to profitability and long-term value, and how both extroverts and introverts can leverage their unique strengths to drive impact. If you’ve ever wondered how your role ties to the bigger financial picture, this conversation will challenge you to think and act like an owner.

In this episode, Jason and Makenzie dive into everyone’s favorite word — equity — and examine what it really means beyond payouts and financial rewards. They explore how equity extends far beyond cash, defining it instead through fairness, ownership value, and property such as home equity. They also explore the responsibilities, risks, and long-term mindset that come with equity ownership, highlighting how equity represents control, alignment, and time horizon. Whether you are a business owner or simply curious about how equity works, this episode delivers a thoughtful perspective on what it truly means to have a stake in something — and why that stake matters.

In this episode, Jason and Makenzie continue “The Foundations of Transition” series by highlighting the courage it takes to transition a company and its leadership. Each workshop-style episode builds on the last, offering practical guidance to help business owners move forward with confidence.

This second foundation explores what should be included in a thoughtful transition plan and how leaders can focus on long-term vision rather than falling into fear. Jason and Makenzie discuss how intentional planning, clear direction, and courageous decision-making can shape a successful future for both owners and their organizations.
