The Ownership Effect
About The Podcast
The Ownership Effect is your front-row seat to one of the most powerful — and underappreciated — forces reshaping the American workplace: employee ownership. Hosted by Jim Bonham, President and CEO of The ESOP Association, this biweekly podcast dives deep into the transformative impact of Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) on businesses, workers, and local economies.
Each episode features candid conversations with company founders, policymakers, and employees whose lives have been transformed by ownership. You’ll hear real stories of change and shared success, and why companies are choosing the ESOP model. We’ll dive into the challenges holding employee ownership back—and the solutions that can bring it to more Americans.
If you’re a business owner, an employee who wants more than a paycheck from your job, or someone who believes in an economy that works for everyone, this podcast is for you!
