Discover the Worker Co. Podcast: Your Gateway to Employee Ownership Stories in Minnesota
In an era marked by the "Silver Tsunami" of retiring business owners and the uncertain future of many locally-held businesses, it’s important to understand all the succession options available. Yet, not everyone is aware of the existence of employee-ownership models, or the many success stories found across the state of Minnesota!
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our latest initiative, the Worker Co. Podcast, which is dedicated to exploring the inspiring stories and immense benefits of employee ownership in Minnesota.
What is the Worker Co. Podcast?
The Worker Co. Podcast helps listeners get to the heart of employee ownership. Executive Director Kirsten Kennedy leads each conversation with a Minnesota business, shedding light on its EO journey and revealing how it impacts individuals and communities alike. Listen to meet employee owners, community members, advisors, civic leaders, strategists, business leaders, advocates, and educators.
Whether you're a business owner considering succession or simply curious about new economic models, this podcast is your go-to resource for insights and stories.
Why Employee Ownership Matters
Employee ownership is a tangible solution to many of the economic challenges facing communities today. By sharing profits, enhancing job security, and building assets, employee-owned companies help close wealth gaps and strengthen communities.
What to Expect from the Podcast
Each episode of The Worker Co. Podcast will feature in-depth discussions with a diverse range of voices. Listeners will hear firsthand about EO models such as Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs), and Worker-Owned Cooperatives from the perspective of people experiencing each scenario.
These stories highlight the various paths to employee ownership and demonstrate the profound impact of EO on real Minnesotans.
