A candid business podcast for growth-minded leaders and entrepreneurs. Hosted by Josh Zolin. The truth about leadership, business, and becoming who you're meant to be.
What happens when a CEO stops optimizing for the quarter and starts optimizing for people? Henny Penny's Rob Connelly walks us through why they converted to an ESOP (employee stock ownership plan), how it changed behavior on the floor, and the leadership credo that guided the journey: "Savor the day while always learning for a better tomorrow." We talk long-view decision making, radical accountability, and why "start with people and the numbers will follow" isn't just a slogan — it's the operating system.
